appears to be a very early and very rare frame. certainly no later than the late 1960s. Very cool. Too bad it was repainted...I bet it had the pre-playing-card graphics on it. As for the parts, most were probably added later, unless the rear derailleur is the very early nuovo record.

how did such an old colnago end up in New Zealand? Enquiring minds want to know.
