I'd love to see a copy of the brochure, is it dated? I'm pretty sure Colnago did make those team bikes. I know someone with a piece of literature that delineates what years Colnago made team bikes for exactly what teams. In the next week or so, I'll try to get a look at it and post a list, to the list. If I can, I'll get a scan and send it to Dale for inclusion in the site.
