Steven Maasland hits the nail on the head. Indeed, Colnagos marketed in Europe featured different graphics than used in the U.S. market. This has been discussed previously on the CR list. The Colnago that is listed on German Ebay has correct and original transfers from the '74/'75 time period for a bike sold in Europe. I own a NOS '74 Colnago frameset that was found in Belgium two years ago and it has identical graphics to the Colnago on German Ebay, but in a different color scheme. It seems that there are two other CR members living in Europe who own mid -70s Colnagos w/identical graphics.
