Not a "real Colnago". In the late 80's Colnago sold a lot of not so great bikes of lower stature than the Mexico, or Super. This looks like one of these bikes. Columbus GT tubing, never heard of it until I typed it into google and another not real Colnago came up with this tubing. Not worth more than $300 to me if it fit. Brian Blum in Berkeley
