Sometimes you get lucky...

So I have been (very) slowly assembling

the parts for finishing my 1984

Colnago Mexico that had been period

modified into a specialist TT bike.

As I am sure most of you will know panto

parts for Colnago's are not cheap, so I

have been biding my time and picking 

up the odd part here and there for the right

 price...ie cheap.

One of the parts I just picked up was this

Campagnolo seat pin with Colnago logo

pantographed slightly off centre, which I

thought was quite funny.

It turns up looking pretty rough, which

was fine as that was it looked like 

in the photo's. 

As soon as I started disassembling the seat pin, I 

quickly realized that I has also brought a complete 

aftermarket Cobra alloy lightening kit for the 

Campag seat pin.

As I am a total obbsesive for these period aftermarket

lightening parts, you can imagine how pleased I was.

 Full Cobra lightening kit.

 Here is the pin after sanding with 600/800 then 1200

wet and dry sandpaper, then finished with a good polish 

 Maybe Italian colours in the groves?
