That's the one I question... the fork crown in particular does not look like a 1969 design to me at all, more like mid 1980s. Of course maybe a lazy web site designer just grabbed a photo of some mid 1980s Colnago lugs for the web site???
Anyone else out there have info on or remember Colnago intro'ing investment cast lugs on their late '60s bikes?
