The cutouts on the head lug look painted on (as do the tangs under the fork crown), the seatstay caps look like a Chiorda, the chainstay ends look British, and the paint job says no older than late '80s. I'm not saying someone would build a counterfeit Colnago, but it's not unheard of to paint a lesser bike to try to look like one.
