Restored Colnago Nuovo Mexico in Saronni Red

I restored this frame a couple of years ago. @Drillium Dude Jeff dates the frame from around 1984 because the down tube has 4 crimps in it vs. 2 crimps for the original 1983 Nuovo Mexicos. Jeff supplied the seat post for this build, and @gugie aligned the fork for me. The bike rides great and has quicker steering than my 1976 Colnago Super. The frame Geometry is steeper and the top tube is shorter than my 1976 Super. I normally ride a 54 cm frame center to top with a 54 cm top tube, which are the dimensions of my 1976 Super. This frame is a 55 cm center to top with a 54 cm top tube. My son says it is one of his favorite bikes in my collection and he looks forward to riding it.... I guess it is a family heirloom now?
