And, let us not forget its similarities to the one from 1981 that I no longer own, but still sport (way too many) photos of. There are several pages of pics here, plenty of views of features like the shaped tubing, 24mm seatpost, tiny headset, double reveal b.b. sockets, front brake bolt brazed to the fork, special front derailleur hanger and special front derailleur body in order to mount it, etc. The more you look, the more unique stuff you notice: <http://www.wooljersey.com/gallery/fujifish1/MarksVintage/Colnagos/Coln81AeroOlympic/ >

Many of you may have noticed that this bike has 1" tubing in all three main tubes (as compared to the norm of 1 1/8" seat & down tubes). Not sure what the head tube diameter is but it is diminutive as well, as is the tiny headset. Colnago went to fascinating lengths to make these bikes special. Note in the pic of the crank set, look past the crank & see the "bilaminate" bbkt shell.

As Marc says, it is very much like Ralph Carnevale's Colnago shown at this year's Cirque. http://cyclesdeoro.com/Cirque_2009_ThursSat/l1020030.html

Hello Listmembers:

At this year's Cirque, Mr. Carnevale displayed a Colnago with some pretty cool factory customizations including an aero headset. Perhaps you can have something like this if you win this auction:
