When some of us talk about "original Colnago panto" this is what we're referring to, at least as it relates to the early-mid 70's time period. Compare the parts on this bike to the recently created panto occasionally seen on eBay described as "old & original".
What a great looking bike. I'm glad it wasn't my size. I would have been tempted to belly up to the bar.

Don't know if you all were following this auction--180401718652--for a nice 71 Colnago with lots of pantographed parts, but it went for over 4k.
There was much discussion a few weeks ago about plunging or tepid values for vintage bikes. This seems quite counter to that view.
Interested in what the Colnago experts think. I loved the bike. Very classy.
