Many of you may have noticed that this bike has 1" tubing in all three main tubes (as compared to the norm of 1 1/8" seat & down tubes). Not sure what the head tube diameter is but it is diminutive as well, as is the tiny headset. Colnago went to fascinating lengths to make these bikes special. Note in the pic of the crank set, look past the crank & see the "bilaminate" bbkt shell.
As Marc says, it is very much like Ralph Carnevale's Colnago shown at this year's Cirque.

Hello Listmembers:
At this year's Cirque, Mr. Carnevale displayed a Colnago with some pretty cool factory customizations including an aero headset. Perhaps you can have something like this if you win this auction:
