Here are images of the Colnago frame stamped with ‘CROMOR’ in above photo. If you want to see detailed images of a Colnago frame with ‘SPRINT’ stamped on the bottom bracket, please refer to this article on the LFGSS website. If you look at the top left side of the bottom bracket, you will find the frame stamped with either the word ‘SPRINT’ or the word ‘CROMOR’. Colnago Super Sprint catalogue page (circa 1988) One year later in Colnago’s 1989 catalogue, the Colnago Super Sprint was pictured with chrome plated head tube lugs. Like the Colnago Classic International, this model was built from a mix of Columbus SL and Columbus Cromor tubing. The Colnago Classic International was dropped from the 1988 catalogue and appears to have been reborn as the Colnago Super Sprint (definitely a more catchy name).

No symbols on top of bottom bracket shell.Ĭolnago International catalogue page (circa 1987) What about the Colnago Super Sprint?.No lettering on outside of the chain stays.Club symbol in lower head tube lug only.Įarlier models had flat caps, later models had rounded caps (shown here).These images are a mix of two mid 1980’s International bikes to show the general features of the Colnago International. I presume it probably shared similar geometry to the Colnago Super. Presumably this was done to create a lower price point for the Colnago Classic International. However, the frame was now built using a mix of Columbus SL tubes and slightly heavier Columbus Cromor tubes. The following year (1987 catalogue), it appears the International was renamed as the Colnago Classic International and was now offered as a complete bike or as a frameset. It was sold as a complete bike fitted with a Ofmega Premier group and just like the Colnago Super, it was built using Columbus SL tubes (according to the catalogue). Image courtesy of The Colnago International bicycle was first listed in a circa 1986 Colnago catalogue.
