Chuck Schmidt with the help of many others compiled
The Original COLNAGO SUPER Timeline
This is the gold standard for dating Colnagos:
Velo-Retro: Colnago Super Timeline
1973
- Wreath seat tube decal with Worlds band at top and bottom
- Fork crown with clubs in top but no holes in each side
- Fork tangs with club cutouts (rarely two hole tangs or no tangs)
- Club cutout in lower head lug only
1974
- Shifter braze-ons on down tube (available as option before this)
1975
- Diagonal Worlds band added behind black Club/COLNAGO head tube decal
- Diagonal Worlds band with yellow Club/COLNAGO head tube decal used for one year
- Vertical COLNAGO seat tube decal with single diagonal Worlds band at top
- Top tube brake cable guide braze-ons, always two instead of customary three (an option before this)
According to Chuck's Velo-Retro time line I would say that this is a probably a late 1974 model Super, maybe an early 1975... (no braze-on brake cable guides)
Columbus sticker circa 1975 but no guarantee of date.
I had a orange 1978 Super that got stolen in 1981. In 2006 I picked up a 1983 Super frame and built it up. I recently sold it. The new owner is over the moon!
