[CR]re: colnago on ebay

The tulip motif is definitely a Somec mark: http://www.somec.com/azienda_storia_eng.php As you'll see from that link, Somec is still around.

But I think I've seen it on some other bike, as well (possibly Japanese?). In any case, I'd say that Colnago is definitely a Somec. And I agree with Charles that the Somec is more interesting than the more common Colnago.

Anthony Kinder is correct in thinking that this Colnago is not the real deal. I am certain it is one of the following - SANNINO, or SANCINETTO, or SIMONETTO...or possibly SOMEC...if only I could remember!"

Isn't that cutout the mark of SOMEC? That's my bet.

(what's amusing about that is that a somec of that period is actually a more entertaining frame, imho, than a colnago would be)
