That is some unassailable logic!

Oh my goodness did you ever unearth some good memories and sensations (yes, sensations!).

I had the exa-mexico, circa 1991, after a guy I met at local races had purchased his from a former Malvor pro (late 80s-early 90s). His was the master, exactly THE very team edition, including delta brakes. Mine was more pedestrian w a mix of campy and shimano 600 parts. I eventually owned 2 more steel Colnagos: a master and a Master X-Light. I loved the handling, raced a bunch on all of them, and the pics that followed your thread lead made my day - thanks for the good memories.

Yep, keep the black stem. It's PRO.

Hey Wallyman,
Thanks for research and info. Sure are some gorgeous bikes in this thread. And you've undoubtedly heard everything there is to say about your collection so I will just say WOW. My Colnago doesn't belong in such exalted company but would be curious to know where it might figure in the Colnago tree. A bit of an outlier it seems. Top tube says Decor, tubing is SLX Conic Spiral. Downtube is only tube with seams/grooves and has 8.

[wallymann]

the conic is in there, mentioned in the "curiosities and offshoots" section. i specifically added "conic-spiral-slx" so its clearer!

Ah, OK, thanks. Oddly, the downtube on this one has 8 rather than 6 seams.
