Hi Jay, you asked for the opinion of Colnago experts, but I'll give you mine anyway :)

First of all, it l looks legit to me - not a fake!

It's in great shape and has some nice panto bits and mint components - look at those pedal cages!. Presentation is not good however: butt-ugly saddle IMO (it would look better in black - if you get it dye it), and poor set-up (the stem is so high it looks like it's ready to come off, and the seatpost is buried so deep you can't see all the panto work). Lots of pics but not very flattering shots. If better presented I could see it going for the BIN price, but as it is, I think it looks slightly overpriced at $1,350. I don't think it will sell.

If it's your size and you like the color (I do), and you've been looking for a nice Super, I'd say wait till the auction is over and make him an offer (or make him an offer now!). If you get it for $1,000 it'd be a good deal. A Colnago handlebar like the one on this bike recently sold on eBay for over $250 - and the one on this bike is mint.
