I wouldn't bid on this bike unless I had a chance to see it in person first. There are simply too many inconsistencies: Campagnolo Valentino front derailleur, Balilla brakes, 1980's Colnago-tampographed Ofmega cranks, straight-cut BB shell... Nothing seems to correspond.

Fwiw, I'm with Steve. That is a strange bike, and if it has any connection with Colnago at all other than the graphics, I'd be surprised..

On the other hand, who knows what sorts of strange things were made for european consumption only? Maybe it's a low-line bike of some kind, although it would not be wearing those graphics if it was, I'm guessing.

More likely it's some no-name bike with new paint and colnago decals, which seem to be available quite readily from many sources.

If only Ernesto had just stayed with the Super. One model was enough for everyone in the 70s..<g>
