I bought a frame a couple of months ago. This is the story:
The former owner said he had it sandgrinded (dont know the word) and repainted with Colnago decals altough it was a Cornelo. Cornelo is an Italian frame builder and the frames are imported in Holland by a bike store. I thought: whatever! Than i builded the whole bike. The last details i couldnt do so i brought it to the local bike store. There they said it wasnt a Cornelo but a Colnago as the lugs have the clover leafs. I was happy with it but when searching the forums for types of colnago i found out there are some differences with colnago frames. The clover leafs appear on only a few lugs. Further more the front fork doesnt have clover leafs and the crone (?) of it, the top, has a special form (check the photos). The pat (or dropout) says: "Gipimmi" or something like that. There are no further marks on it, not even in the BB.
Also check the rear brake cable is on top of the top tube.
I bought just the frame and in repainted state so we have to identify based on geometry and details.
