Description:One of the most iconic bikes which left the famous factory in Cavenago (Milan, Italy), the Colnago Mexico was produced to celebrate the 1972 Eddy Merckx world hour record. The Colnago Mexico was slightly different from the Colnago Super - built with even thinner Columbus tubes - but shared with that glorious bike the aggressive racing geometry: short, light and very stiff.The next step in its evolution became the Colnago Nuovo Mexicowhich was first released in 1982 and immediately ridden to victory by Giuseppe Saronni in the 1982 World Championships. It was built with profiled Columbus SL tubes with distinctive crimps on top and down tube.This Colnago Nuovo Mexico frame dates back to 1982 and illustrates the typical deep red which became known as ' Saronni red'.The bike arrived at Steel Vintage Bikes in original condition and underwent a complete check in our workshop.

In the U.S., the early seventies witnessed another bike boom, and Colnago 'pumped out bikes as though the future of humankind was at stake.' The mainstay of the Colnago line in the 1970s was the Super, followed by the Mexico, named in honor of the successful hour attempt. Other models were added including the Superissimo and Esa Mexico.
