Hi, I believe this is a 1982 Colnago Mexico frame, Ive done some research on this frame, and that is the year and make i come up with.

If anyone,,, has any other info, please, please please tell me,, I would really like to know thanks!!!

OHH yea, any suggestions on how I should build this frame up, I would like to use modern 9spd or 10spd componets, thanks!!

enjoy.

I have one just like this and it is complete with a Campy Super Record Group. The stem is a black TTT with Colnago engraved on it. I have wanted to upgrade but I don't even ride it enough to warrant the expense. I bought my new but, I don't remember what year I bought it, but it was a long time ago. On the 9 or 10 speed combinations why do you even need this, if you look at the gearing some of these gears overlap, but I might be wrong. Danny

yeah, you have to go with campagnolo. i've seen old italian road bikes built with new campy, and it looks great.

I don't know which level you

I don't know which level you want, but you definitely need a campy group. Shimano looks too tacky on a nice old italian frame. I don't know if I've ever seen a Sram group on one, I don't think it'd work though.

you definately need a campy super record gruppo: the derailleur should be w silver campy logo over black. the gearing should be 53/42. or, you could sell the frameset to me! i have the complete gruppo for it, including original gum lever hoods:}

Mmmm; might be a Super

I suspect the the eBay listing has guessed wrong (and the old-guy handlebars don't do that build any favors, IMHO). But early/mid-1980s seems like the right time window; check some of the other Colnago catalogs at http://www.bulgier.net/pics/bike/Catalogs/ (especially http://www.bulgier.net/pics/bike/Catalogs/colnago-88/07a.jpg) for reference. The first question is: What's the rear dropout spacing? 120mm is earlier, obviously; 126mm is later.

To get it all modern, you'd have to cold set the rear dropouts. You have a beautiful, clean period frame; maybe there's a higher ethical responsibility here.

I'm guessing the dropouts are 126mm - 6/7-speed. I'd say: Build it up with Campagnolo Super Record or C-Record at the latest. Downtube levers; friction shifting. Who knows? If you can find a set of Campy Delta brakes for cheap...

And you'll find that putting together a 70s/80s Super Record or 80s/90s C-Record-ish gruppo is often a lot cheaper than a modern 8/9/10-speed Campy gruppo. My late '80s Bianchi build was assembled out of bits and pieces I scrounged from eBay/Craigslist/SF Bay Area swaps; a little under 300 bucks for parts, including the C-Record wheelset.
