…wanted Medium or Large size. Cosmetic appearance immaterial as long as structurally no problems.

I’ve had a few of each over the years, and although the greys definitely held up better re sidewall wear, the blues just looked better!

As per title, looking for a single or pair of NOS Mavic SSC blue. Any drilling except 40!

Got a leather one in new condition, it’s tge one with the grained leather. £50

Tifosi BBs do not work well with campag. For a record or chorus BB and the problem will go away.

The plot thickens, I’m now pretty sure that this must have been a team frame as it’s a 531 frame! Pretty rare to find a super in 531 but there are a few around. Anyway, it is now painted and completed as a bike. Pics attached.

old thread I know but someone may be interested. The picture is a kessels frame. However as per the title I have a 531 built. Colnago super with no cloverleaf cutouts in lugs.

Non Campagnolo dropouts are the giveaway here. It’s an international model.

Thank you for the detailed responses, most of which I was aware of. I had a 68 Roma short while ago and many characteristics were the same or very similar to this frame. I also have what I believe is a very early Freccia, but again there are differences so some other freccia models. I have had...

Another one I found

thanks. It’s not in doubt that it is an early 70s Super ( and many of the supers from early 70s have the exact same cutout in BB shell) as it has now been confirmed by the factory themselves. They are being extremely helpful and say it is unusual to not have the cutouts in lugs, hence the belief...

Pics of actual frame.

Thanks, it’s defo Colnago, not DeRosa or Kessels and it’s from very early 70s, seller told me 73. Have attached pics of same details the exception being no clovers on fork crown/headlug. Identical long pint lugs to blue frame no no cloverleafs I have been told all production frames in early 70s...

Hi I have just happened across an early 72 or 73 colnago which is claimed and appears to be an ex Molteni team frame. I don’t have pics to hand but, although obviously a colnago early type super there are no clover leaf cutouts in lugs, only the typical colnago cotout under BB shell. I think...
