Colnago question

Hi,

Does anyone know the exact diameter of the top tube on a Colnago Spiral Conic? Thanks!

Cheers,
Luka

I never measured one, but they always appeared to be the same diameter as any "conventional" tubeset of that era. Didn't the Spiral Conic just denote an SLX tubeset?

From images I could reference, same diameter as the seat tube. 28.6mm

Do you not have access to the frame?
