So we now know that the bike is not a 30th or 35th anniversary bike, but does have nicely pantographed details. Most of the pantographing was done by Rauler (the company name derives from Raul and "Er"nesto). If you want another example of neat Colnago pantographing at a more achievable price, check out Matteo's neat Colnago auction: http://ebay.com/<blah>

Full disclosure: Matteo is a friend and the bike will transit through my hands to the future owner. Even if I wanted to bid on the bike I will not for fear of people saying it is simply a way of raising the price.

Matteo also has another neatly pantographed Tomassini for sale. As you will have read from the different Eroica posts, Irio has quite an interest in vintage steel frames.
