Uh oh... Joe, looks like you may have a serious problem here. From what I can see in the picture, I am afraid a repair, and not such a good one, has taken place here. I hope I am wrong... This warrants a closer look.?

Hi again, I have bought (and finally received) a Colnago Super frame that I am planning to restore and build up with period correct components. I think it is reasonably early going by the simple clover design on the fork crown but was hoping someone with more knowledge than I may be able to help me narrow it down a little.

A few details: It has Campagnolo dropouts, isn't recessed for brake bolts, has cable guides on top of the BB and along the top tube, the BB shell has a clover cutout but there are no cutouts on the lugs - although the bottom headtube lug is blended beautifully with the downtube.

I have put some pictures up on retrobike if anyone is interested in taking a look:
