Probably all of the droputs used by Colnago except for the Shimano ones were
made by Italian supplier Tecnociclo who made them for Campagnolo and make
all of the ones that have the Columbus and bicycle frame builders' names on
them. Colnago and Campy got their dropouts the same way that Taco Bell gets
tortillas--they put in an order with a factory that makes them.
