Ray,
I get the impression that, in Belgium, refinishing bikes to
appease a current sponsor's sensibilities is an even more
common practice than elsewhere.
For all I know, the bike in question is an authentic Colnago.
But it does seem as though a disproportionate number of
Belgian race bikes pass through several racers and liveries. I
think that's what the CR guys from the Netherlands find so
frustrating when they chase down those special bikes "south of
the border".
