sold already, but something's not setting right with me ...the downtube graphic, cutouts in the fork tangs, brazeons? Could it be a later, re-sprayed frame? Good money on it for the seller (who incidentally sent me a pretty nasty reply to a question I asked about dating a bike like this.)
Colnago experts, you all rode today, whaddya think?

I had emailed with another listmember about this one when it was first listed. My guess for this frame is circa 1975. Definitely later than '72. It may just be in really nice shape for a '75 rather than a repaint - the braze-ons would not be out of place for a mid-70s Super I believe. And that's not Molteni orange, either. (I have a frame with very similar details and graphics and the same color.)
