Quick Colnago Question
I have a Colnago I have found no info about. The downtube says "Competition". On the top tube there is evidence of old decals that have faded into the paint there is the Oakly logo on one side and the words "factory pilot" on the other. Does this ring any bells?

my not very helpful info: the Oakley stuff is just a sticker, most likely applied in the late 80s to early 1990s.

Per google, "Factory Pilot" is a glove line by Oakley.
Here is a thread with some Colnago Competition info.

factory pilots were the original Oakley glasses that you see Greg Lemond wearing in the late 80's. As Nate says, it doesn't tell us much about the frame.
