The Colnago on eBay you referred to is probably an '82. Does the one you are looking at have the white panel decals? Also, are you saying the fork crown has a clover inside a C? That would be odd for a Super. Does the crown look like the one on this bike?:

If so, it's probably a lesser model. That bike has a lower-level Campy group, by the way - Victory or Triomphe. An example of a bike Colnago probably should never have built, IMO. A reason to be careful of "always liking the quality" of Colnagos.

Are the chainstays and seatstay caps stamped "Colnago" as on the eBay "1983" frame?
The first C-Record has a rear derailleur on which the lower pulley is enclosed. Also, the outer chainrings are curved where they extend from the spiders to the teeth, rather than straight. Victory has minimal collector value at present (and perhaps future, but who knows?)
I don't know much about the Technos, though I do believe Colnago was still selling them not that long ago - early 90's?
