The Saronni frame is real but as Drillium Dude stated, this is a hodgepodge of components.
1. The fork should have Sarrnoni pantographing and not Colnago.
2. The "super" decal on the chain stay might be fake, I seem to recall that the Supers (Superisimo's) all had chrome lugs.
3. The Sarroni's had "Saronni" stickers on the down tube and seat tube, this bike has Colnago stickers. Some did indeed have Colnago stickers. (previous error on my part).
So, the correct markings would be Saronni in black font with a white background flanked by a Club. Another Model would have Colnago stickers with "Saronni" pantographing on the seat tube. It is a Saronni-Colnago, not a commemorative model. The Non-Colnagos built buy Technotrat, I believe had a small Italian flag but will update as I confirm.
4. The doves might of been something the seller added and pulled off another bike. It should have Sarroni pantographing on the chain not a dove.
I seem to recall a dove on another bike, but not a Columbus dove. This Dove makes no sense, since those are campy cranks and pantographing refers to the brand of bike not the material.
Also I've heard that 3 different models existed. I own a criterium and this particular model on the vintageveloberlin site I feel is Aelle tubing. I imagine they used leftover decals and used whatever they had, so consistency may be lacking. Since it was not imported to the US, there is no large database on these.
