Brandon Ives responded to the effect that the bike in question might be a Colnago.

If that's a Colnago, it's unlike any I've ever seen, new or old. If it is something else, someone went to a great deal of trouble to make a bike that is so obviously not a Colnago otherwise, look like one. Which seems like a fool's game. That's a pretty elaborate paint-job, and it looks professionally done. If I took a frame to a good painter and they were willing to do the job at all, they'd charge me well over a grand for that. I suppose it could be an amateur job done very well, but from the look of it, I doubt it.
So, maybe it is, and maybe it isn't, but if it is a Colnago, it's some lower-line job.
