Merry Christmas from New Zealand!
A relative asked me to help ID an old bke he has - when he got it from a shop about 5 years ago he was told it was a Colnago from the late 1960s. To my non-expert eye that appears likely to be correct?
Is it actually a Colnago, which model, how old, any guesses about likely tubing?
I only had a few minutes today to have a very quick look and snap a few photos.

It has been repainted yellow at some stage, with no visible logos apart from a couple of bike shop stickers. Cutouts on lugs are quite simplistic compared to pictures of later bikes, is this normal? Fork crown seems correct? Unfortunately I forgot to check the underside of the BB.
Almost all Campagnolo components - brake levers and calipers, seat, headset, cranks (G.S.?), Nuovo Record RD, 36 spoke Record large flange hubs with straight QR levers, a few bits seem more recent - rims are clinchers (Ambrosio Aero, what would have been typical originally?), seatpost is Shimano (27.2mm), Sugino chainring, current owner fitted the spd pedals.
Thanks,
