That may be some of it. There is so much talk about clearance and "jewels", but it really doesn't make much difference.
Colnago does put a sloping TT on some of their frames, but I think the C40, C50, and C60 lugged CF are still popular frames, although the line is being slowly replaced.
Actually, I can't read the numbers on the frame that the OP posted, but I think it may be the C50. It shows a 5-bolt crankset and 10-speed shifters.
So, it makes an excellent example of a "modern" frame using a photo of a 10 year old bike.
