Thanks for the additional info Drillium... but I still can't quite put it all together. There is only a clover on the fork crown, no 'C' or 'Colnago', but, there are no holes or clover cutouts in the fork tangs on this bike. Seller said the plain fork tangs means the bike was NOT a '72 or '71. Perhaps the fork is not a match to the frame?
Someone just posted a NOS 1974 on Ebay:

I agree, the wheels would be the first thing to go! Front wheel has a busted spoke and a sizeable wobble as it stands.
