Hi All.

I've finally gotten around to taking photos of my recently built up 1983? Colnago Super?. It's a pretty standard build with Super Record, Mavic and Cinelli. Have a looksee here:

The only peculiarity is the paint job. I have no real evidence that the frame was repainted (and I don't really mind if it was) but what caught my eye was the fully chromed chainstays (all the way to the bottom bracket shell!) and the mint green diamond pattern. From what I've seen the diamond pattern usually fades into a full covering of paint in the same color near the headtube. Obviously the paint on my frame does not. Also, when I received the frame, there was no Columbus decal on the seattube. The Colnago decals are under the clear coat.

Anyone ever seen this treatment before?
