Not familiar with this Colnago paintjob, but there had been literally hundreds of different Colnago paint schemes that had been come from the manufacturer.

The little bump on the head tube is to where you put the hole on the frame pump handle of your Silca type frame pump to carry it under your top tube when you ride.

Colnogo builds some very, very nice high-end frames but given the fact that this one is built up with a shimano 105 parts grouppo, it is most likely a lower end entry level model. The shimano 105 parts on it look to date from he early 1990's. While 105 parts are not inherently poorly functioning, they are a bit heavier and not nearly as attractive or collectable as a more upscale parts grouppo that would normally be associated with a colnago. Unlikely that anyone would have spent $1500+ on one of the really nice colnogo frames and then gone so cheap on the rest of the parts to build it up.

Doesnt it appear to have the seat tube and down tube decals swapped around?

+1 To Jim's comments, those decals are reversed. The seat tube decal is on the downtube, and the downtube decal is on the seat tube. Something is wrong with this bike. Are you sure it is a Colnago? No decal as to frame tubing either.

I would bet it is a fake.

I'm not familiar with post '84 or so Colnago's, but I'm going to say that is not a Colnago frame. The "heart" cut-out in the headlug would be the first clue as well as the stay tops. Looks like a generic late 80's Italian production frame re-decaled to me.

Doesn't look right to me either. Colnago is nearly ornate with identification of Colnago, Spade cutout on BB, lugs fork crown, stampings in chainstays and seat stay ennds by the seat lug. Drop outs are either Campy or Gipiemme (SP?) or Colnago.

I agree.

Spade cutout on BB,

It's a club, of course, rather than a spade. But yeah. I don't think they all have that cutout, but many certainly do.

Thanks to everybody!
On the bike there isn't no sign of "colnago". So i think as you that of "colnago" this bike has only the decals! ;-)

You are too available! I thank you again and sorry for my elementary english!
;-)
