Graphics on this bike are clearly later - at least mid-to-late 70's. Colnago bikes from around 1970 have a decal set that is earlier than the one shown - the bike just isn't what its claimed to be - if it was a true 60's Colnago the reserve and buy-it-now price would certainly have another decimal place.
