Is this for real? A $50,000 Colnago

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I read more and it's indeed a one off prototype. Should fetch a good buck, not 50K though.

Even though it's one of a kind, $50k does seem like a stretch, especially without a matching fork. But considering one of the 33 track framesets just sold for $12k, a fork alone went for $500, and there's another frameset up now with a $10k Buy It Now price, who knows.

Does anyone know if the the frame was actually handpainted, or if it was silkscreened and then sealed?

Just a quick run to Office Max and for less than 5 bucks you can have a 50K frame too.
