Well, I don't watch Colnagos closely, but there were certainly a lot of them around in the late 70's, at least where I lived. And the quality was less than great in some cases. It was reported Colnago was doing a lot of subcontracting. Maybe early 70's is different, but I'm not sure I could tell them apart based on eBay photos.
