from Sergio Meda's COLNAGO of` 1986, "On the other hand counterfeit bikes are not a rare occurrence....a number of Colnago fakes were traced to Belgium recently and one of those actually ended up in a large store in Los Angeles where Colnago himself spotted it..."

Hello Matthew,

I have actually sold that frame to him. Only thing I can tell you is that f or as far as I know the paint etc is original. Picked up the bike in Belgiu m and have seen numerous 'strange' Colnago batched frames there.

On the other hand I have also picked up a Colnago road bike once with a pan tho seatpost with the weird looking logo that's engraved in the track fork.

The track frame has very 'skinny' rear dropouts and not the normal chunky C ampagnolo ones.

Hope this helps a little bit.
