Decals don't make it a Colnago. Warning: Many Pics
Well, here is a bike I picked up yesterday. I was about to tell the seller to sell it to someone else, but my wife talked me into making the 45 minute ride to get it. It was on ebay and the seller claimed it to be a Colnago since it had Colnago decals on it. That was the sole reason I placed a bid for it. In fact, I was the only bidder so I lucked out. The pic she used on the listing sucked and one could not see any details but since it was such a low price I said F it. Well, after 2 weeks of not being able to get in touch with the seller she finally answered and thus I was able to pick it up. My initial plan was to just use the parts off of it on my true Colnago Mexico oro(which I've posted here). Well, when I showed up to pick it up and saw the bike I thought to my self that I was getting duped, or at least that was what the seller thought. The bike has only Colnago decals and no clovers and no campagnolo components. I was about to tell the lady no thanks..but I noticed something. It was the Dura ace crank, headset, and brake calipers on the bike. At this moment, I told myself to just pay her the money since the dura ace stuff was easily worth the 30 euros I was going to pay for the "Colnago". Upon further inspection I noticed the Zeus shifters and rear derailleur. It just seemed a pretty good deal even if it was'nt a Colnago. Underneath the bottom bracket says Cinelli SC. It also has some Ishiwata 022 decals which along with the dura ace stuff made/makes me think this is a Japanese bike. Here are some pics of it. I hope you guys can help me identify this bike. I have many other pics, so if they are needed to identify the bike let me know and I'll post them. Thanks!
