Sorry, not a '74. Short drop-outs and Colnago lettering in the stay tops would put it closer to '79 +. Probably early 80's with the under BB routing. Still will be a sweet ride though.

Looks like a very nice frameset and I like the understated color and graphics. I'm not trying to be sarcastic or alarmist and I could be wrong, but it appears to me the fork's bent. Then again, it may just be the angle they have the frame sitting in the photo. Anyone?

The pic looks like my 82 that I sold last year.

Fun project, great price.

Love the color.

Camera angle.

Looks fine from that pic but post some more when you receive the bike.

And, correct me if I'm wrong, but there is no headset in that picture to hold the steering tube straight in the head tube.
