Collalbo! The vendor of mystery bikes with Colnago decals on them! This frame
looks Japanese to me (modest quality production), something about the cut of
the headlugs, the super cheap fork crown, and the style of the seat stay end
plugs. I would be very surprised if this was even Italian, much less built by
Colnago. If someone wanted to ask him to check and see what the bb threads
actually are, that might narrow down that point some. The only thing I really
don't get are the clubs on the lugs and fork crown. Can these be milled
afterwards?
