A new Vintage Colnago for the collection. We go to a vintage bike shop! 

😍😍😍🤤🤤🤤 Colnago has the coolest decorations on the frames, forks, headset, and seat-posts. Not really my fave color, but would ride in a second (if it was 49cm, which it obviously is not)

Love the journey and your choices. Colnago: Leave the patina, and if you can touch it up. You aren't entering it to be judged. This is character. I ALSO just finished restoring a cruddy Schwinn Superior I picked up off Marketplace. That same ruby red color, too. It's looking GREAT, save for some blemishes in paint. Character; I'm leaving them. You inspire me, John! I ought to post. Thanks for your time.

Three vintage bikes that grab me is the Colnago, Bianchi, and a top of the line Paramount.

Fantastic bike, thanks for showing 👍

The Colnago will look great after restoration.

BTW, John. Just got off the phone with Roy Granstrom of Grand Schwinn Cyclery in Morris, Illinois. He is shipping me a bike. That is one great guy you would really love talking to. He knows Schwinns in Chicago going way back. All the best.

Color is brown. A stock color for Colnago Supers in the 70s. Loved the bike. Loved the vid.

I look forward to the Colnago restoration video. Hopefully you can keep that original colour paintwork with some touches etc. That’s a good find with that crankset.

Nice addition to the collection John .

Great video. I bought a mid 70s Raleigh Super Course for next to nothing a few years ago. All it needed was some tlc.

That bike is in very good, original condition, it does not need any restoration. Strip the parts, degrease the frame, wash it carefully with soap and warm water and then give it a good polish. The patina should be kept as it is. Clean the parts, instal new grease and it's ready to hit the road. PS: it's a bit too much yellow for my taste, i would go for a darker colour brake cable housing.

Very nice Colnago! How about brown leather handlebar tape and a matching saddle? I am crazy about your yellow Porche, ha ha😀👍

The Colnago if in my shop, would first get a try with some "cleaner-wax" (after I checked inside the frame tubes to make sure it's not too rusty to be worth the trouble) that stuff hated by real car guys but for paint like this you might be surprised at how nice it looks after you try it. I'll use it on aluminum bits too to shine them up and leave a protective wax-like coating after a bit of fine polishing from the mild abrasive in most "cleaner-wax" products.

Quite a different look to your usual bikes, but a great project. Look forward to seeing it done, it’s very 70’s!

Nice subtle Colnago. I ride a J F Wilson built with the Gilco tubing and cut out lugs, kind of an Anglo Master. Really dig your bikes and videos.

Wow, I had an SX100 in the silver/red Tuff Wheel setup!

Ahh yes, Tempo. I had one from 1984 myself! Except it had 4 wheels, no airbags, and was made by Ford 😅. First car and got it in exchange for a Christmas ham.

John, I’m so glad you worked your 911 into a video. I am a vintage bike enthusiast and a huge Porsche fan. I love your channel.

70년대 자전거 프레임이 최고 수준이지요~

This bike is bling to me! The panto parts are 🔥

The Tempo looks like it’s a 1985 model, based on the crankset and the blue/white graphics. IIRC 1985 is when Schwinn switched to Columbus Tenax (seamed) tubing. I had a 1984 model which had a different Sugino crank, same graphics but yellow & white, but the frame was made by Panasonic and was Tange #2 tubing. Those were really good bargains back in the day.

Nice bike, particularly the crankset. My grandfather was from Milan, so I have a love for Italian bikes and components.

Love that voyager and have never seen those Suntour gs dropouts. Here in the UK its all European, which is great, but have seen it all really. Would love to see more Japanese stuff

That's a nice Colnago. I've never had one, I used to see them pretty often around San Diego back in the 70s. I think you are right to not respray it, the decals are too nice. I haven't bought a bike for quite a while, I am trying to stay clear of temptation.

The Colnago is in pretty decent shape, with a modest amount of corrosion. Hopefully it can be touched up without too much trouble. To be honest, this would be an opportunity to explore the best methods of addressing this sort of issue. Perhaps get a small bottle of paint mixed up by an auto paint shop and air brush it?? Italian paint of the era was not durable, and there's something to be said for keeping it authentic.

Whoa! A Sentinel! Here’s my best shot… I’m guessing 1975, but it’s probably a ‘74, possibly even a ‘73, but I doubt that. I believe (have i even been wrong?🤔) it came out of the same factory as the American Eagle. I believe this model is third from the top. Next up, a Nuovo Record imitation Sugino crankset which was actually better than the campagnolo set it impersonated. Next up the line was the Pro, or whatever label they put on it. ishiwata tubing, side pull calipers, Record like seat post, and sew-ups. Of course my memory is fuzzy after more than 50 years

Looks like rust on the top tube, under the paint at 2:59. Still a very nice example.

John, is that front derailleur Super Record? I thought that SR front changers had black links (at least they did in the 80's) Maybe they didn't have black links in the 70's. Nice bike.

Are those miyatas that good ? , I know your going to bling up that colnago 😂

factory paint on a classic is only original once. no compelling need to repaint the whole frame... it's a hi-end beauty from the Era of Pantographing. work the problem areas... show us how it's done. if all else fails you can always paint it in toto later, right? (btw, nice 911... new stuff is ok too)

I'm noticing your ragbrai shirt. Are you joining us this year for the 51st edition?

dónde consiguen estás maravillas

He’s about $400 high on the Schwinn superior.

wow! tempo 85? 86?

What's the name of the shop you visited? Thank you, Dan

Do you have any Mondonicos?
