I'll comment. It's a cheap Colnago, built to capitalize on the name, simple as that. I saw a lot of similar Colnago bikes in Germany in the mid-80s. They were offered new for about half what the higher end Colnagos were. I didn't know a lot about the higher end market at the time, but I was always impressed when one of the soldiers showed me the Colnago he bought with Campagnolo parts for less than $500. I once had a Colnago come thru my hands that had English threading and the Colnago letters stamped into the chainstays. I recall someone told me it was made in Taiwan &/or was a counterfeit. Folks have been hitting it on the head today--you never know what you'll get with some of these Colnagos. Lou Deeter, Orlando FL
