I also think the entry hole for the rear brake cable is interesting. I have 2 Colnago's with the entry hole on top of the top tube - a 1991 Super Piu and a 1991 Conic Total Spiral SLX. Quite often Colnago's have the internal rear brake cable entry holes on the lefthand side of the top tube. I agree with your frame build estimation. The features of your frame tend to indicate a cheaper build and either an International or a Super Sprint would be pretty good guesses. It's a nice bike to own.
It was your frame I was looking at that gave me queues that paint on my Colnago, though nice, was not original; my dilemma now is if I should go for a repaint. Initially, I was planning to.
So, we agree on the year and the model, the last unexplained part remain the dropouts. Speaking of, they are quite similar to what you have on your Dream. Mine have holes and non replaceable hanger, but the shape look almost identical.
