I sold a few of those brand new "in the day" and I know it was before we moved out of our hippie shop.

So before 1986, have to be 1985?

On Italian ebay there is a Colnago Oval CX frameset: http://ebay.com/<blah>

Can anybody determine the exact year of production of this frame? When I called Ernesto on Thursday to wish him happy birthday, he said that it was from the 80's, about 20 years old. Was this one fo the first aero bikes from the early 80's or did it come later?
