I have just got hold of a bike which is badged up as a Colnago... however it does not have the Colnago spade lug cutouts - insted a cross type cutout in all three main frame lugs and slots in the BB. The fork crown has a C with a spade though and it is come with a panto'd seatpin which I would guess does not belong to it - the panto looks like a G.

I wonder whether this a Colnago Sport or Junior or whether it is something completely different - Colner or Cornelo? I suspect the English threaded BB may make this a Cornelo...

Another frame acquired recently is a Columbus KL tubed time trial frame with a P cutout in the lower head lug. Its the only time I have seen a Columbus KL transfer - and the frame weight of around 1500g would certainly confirm the KL transfer. I think this is likely to be English or possibly French but not Italian. Any suggestions would be most welcome.
