No linky as I witnessed the atrocity in person at an alleycat race I went to. I was looking at the bike and noticed it looked like a higher end frame (with junk parts BTW). On closer inspection I noticed the clover cutouts on the lugs and the Colnago on the fork crown. Flipped it over and found the clover cutout in the BB shell as well. I didn't know if I wanted to cry or to beat the **** out of the guy.
On another note there is someone local to me that converted a Colnago to fixed, but I am happy to say the original paint and all brazeons are still intact on that one!
As for value if you took the time to clean it up and ready to ride it might bring maybe $300-400 on Ebay. But, it could also only sell for $200. How big of a down grade is the current wheelset? I assume it is probably 60cm+ given your height. The bigger frames and bikes are never as valuable as the more popular smaller sizes. Good for me as that is the size I ride. I have bought a number of complete big bikes (road and track bikes) for prices far less than the same frame/fork in a smaller size would sell for on Ebay.
