Dale, I emailed the seller as to whether it was a respray and he would only say it was "original finish" which may mean not a respray....or may mean a respray in stock color. Interesting comment on your getting a nasty retort from him to a question. He is parting out this bike and has a number of parts for sale on Ebay. I tried in vain to get info as to whether a headset was UK or Ital. thread pitch (not an earth shaking question and takes but a simple answer). I had to ask the same question several times without ever getting a direct answer and finally got the same kind of testy response you received (but still no answer to my question).

sold already, but something's not setting right with me ...the downtube graphic, cutouts in the fork tangs, brazeons? Could it be a later, re-sprayed frame? Good money on it for the seller (who incidentally sent me a pretty nasty reply to a question I asked about dating a bike like this.)
Colnago experts, you all rode today, whaddya think?
