This is a real Colnago. Bought it in a small second-hand bike shop in Bratislava for unbelievable €200. The total cost of this build is about €600.
The downtube shifter braze-ons and short semi-horizontal rear dropouts date this frame somewhere between 1998 and 2001. More recent models have vertical dropouts and cable-stops instead of DT shifter braze-ons, while older models have long horizontal dropouts instead of short semi-horizontal.
Update 26/5/2012
Rebuilt the bike with mostly Shimano 600 (6400) parts with exception of Dura-Ace 9-speed down-tube shifters and crankset and Tektro A200 brake levers. There is also a pair of nice old-style low-frofile rims Ambrosio Gentleman.
