I'm aware of that. I just don't think the bottom bracket is enough to suggest that's a Colnago when many of the other significant frame details suggest that it's not - the lug shape, cutouts, shape of the seat stay top eyes, the braze-on cable guides (though these could have been added with a repaint) - those are different from every 70's Colnago I've seen (and I've seen a lot).
