Joe,
Going out on a limb, I doubt that it's a real Colnago frame. For starters, it just doesn't look right. Then there's the clover leafs in the the lugs and the seat stay tops. Colnagos late enough to use a Cinelli BB shell probably would have had a shorter point on the top tube lug without a cutout plus the cutouts look all wrong. All the Colnagos I remember seeing had double taper seat stays. Check out some of the pictures on the CR website:

Caveat: Colnago is as bad as Raleigh as far as predictability and consistency are concerned and you can always find variations.

I have included pictures of the main detailing on the frame, it has a Cinelli investment cast bottom bracket shell and Campagnolo dropouts. Unsure as to whether the fork is original. In any case it is a nice frame but It would be nice to know a little more about it.
