I had one of these. I bought it as a 72, but many here on the list believed it was a 74, or 73 at the earliest, so I describe on my website as a 73. It has the drilling and milling that was characteristic of that age for Colnago. For those who haven't seen it, here's the link to the photo album:

I wish I still had it, but there's this 10 bike limit thing I had to deal with.

Charles Andrews said, about the Colnago on Craig's list:

Colnagos of this vintage are increasingly hard to find though--in any condition at all--so if you could get it for cheap, it would make a nice rider, if dolled-up a little.

See link above. This seller offers a 1974 Colnago, a Gilco tubed Colnago and a pantographed Grandis. Despite the higher shipping from Germany, they are still decently priced at the time of my writing this. As Charles pointed out, early 70s Colnagos are increasingly hard to find.
