Just to put this in the mix. I have a chrome lug '72 Colnago with the same decal set as the green one on Ebay. Mine has the original Velo Sport shop sticker on the seat tube. Came with a milled seatpost. Below is a link to some pictures.

Hi Phil,
Question: were the more elaborate decal schemes you recall like the bike pictured in my wool jersey site (link below) ?

Question for the illuminati : is the fabled panto brochure a distributor or importers brochure? Anyone have it posted online? Any idea for reals when it was printed?

I emailed the seller these comments and here they are to the list. It's supposed to be a Velo Sport bike from 1972. I bought mine from Velo in 1972 and Peter had upwards of 150 in the showroom at one time. None had chrome lugs and all had a different, more elaborate, decal scheme. And no pantographing.
