Colnago Mexico Pista

Firstly this is not mine it belongs to my better half and is her “Sunday bike”.
The frame was bought from off here from a guy down in Launceston.
This is how we got it


It came with a Campy post and and BB.

She decided that it wasn’t good enough to ride as is and it was dropped off at Prahran Platers for some chrome treatment.
Forks were redone and also had the head tube lugs and rear triangle done.

Much deliberation over the colour but the blue is fantastic and painted by Kevin at Paconi.
Decals are from Cyclomondo.


It’s taken more than a few months to get all the parts and built but she’s over the moon and now needs to learn to ride a track frame with much toe overlap and drop bars.

nice build, repaint is killer

this definitely needs to go in the before and after thread…That chrome is something else!

bartape woulda been better… hahaha :wink:

Nice work!

WOWeeWOW, WOW.

That is certainly doing justice to a classic frame.

That frame has come up a treat nice build.

Quality build.
If you dont mind me asking, roughly how much did the chrome and pain cost? I have a colnago that needs similar treatment.

Chroming was $250 and paint was $495

WOW! very classy… your lady knows what she wants!
