Subject: [CR]Dating a Colnago track frame

Hi crew, A acquired what appears to be a 70s Colnago pista frame a month ago and it has finally arrived from interstate. Am familiar with the lug, braze ons and fork crown variations of the road models circa 70s to 80s, but track frames? The aspects of the frame that could identify the age might be the track fork crowns with the club inside the 'C', one club engraved on the lower head lug, plain non-stamped seat stay tops, BB cut-out with pointed base of club cut-out and a single number '2' stamped on the open rear track drop-out.
