Looking at the history section at the Colnago site there are some photos of
pre-70 Colnagos but you can't discern much of the details. However, for the
year 1970 listing(http://www.colnagonews.com/prova2/storia/1970.htm) they
show the pre-club design head tube badge which was apparently used
1954-1970. Anyone of the CR list have one of these Colnagos (with this head
tube badge) ? I incorrectly attributed the "Comic-book graphics" to Sheldon
Brown when in fact that was penned by Mike Kone.
