As Lou Deeter so appropriately put it to me, my brain has turned to mush. That assessment I readily agree with, and my students, if polled, would probably agree too. Colnago has the club lug, Confente has the spade. I still would like information on the bike with spade lugs, if anyone can help identify it. If the original message is a sign, I probably will not retain the information long enough to tell my friend, so I will save the emails.

Thank you.

Cheers.

A friend asked if I could help identify a frame he has. According to him, the frame was originally decaled as a Leoni, and it had some "Leoni" pantagraphed parts. I do not know if the "spade" cutout lugs are proprietary to Colnago, but this has the bottom bracket spade lug and the "spade" in the headtube lug. It has Campagnolo drop-outs and Italian threading. You can see pictures of it at the following:

Thanks for the help.
