Hello List
A long time ago I asked the list about a "mystery Colnago" frame that I have. I wrote this:
"Now to the really strange - the clovers/clubs are done different. Instead of a<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> triangular "shaft" under the three circles, making out the leaves, this one has the shaft made out of a straight cut out finished of with a small round hole at the bottom. As if someone prepared it to make it triangular but forgot filing and left it as it was."
Today looking at ebay
http://ebay.com/
I do not really think my frame or the one on ebay are Colnagos. My frame also differs from the Ebay one on all other details - seatlug, seat stay caps and mine has no shifter bosses, no brake cable guides and the gear cable guides are on top of the bottom bracket shell. My BB has three slots instead of a clover cut out and the one on ebay does not seem to have any cut out/slots at all.
BUT the clovers in the head lugs are done in exactly the same way and that leads me to think they are made by the same builder. It can not be a coincident.
Any theories about the origin on my frame and the one on Ebay?
