Have come into possession of the frame in these photos
http://www.ritzelrechner.de/
Seems to be a bit different than what is described below: - identified as a 1972 - but may easily be 1973 or 1974 - single club cutout in lower headtube lug (1974?) - Club/Colnago decal on headtube - Has water bottle braze-ons (1973) - Fork crown w/ clubs - (I think) no holes on sides - not sure what 'holes' are - seat tube has straight world bands - frame may have been repainted at some time, but not too sure - no braze-ons for shifters
Any thoughts?
