nope not mine. i think some say because they don't have clover or a C or both.

if there' s no C or clover than you can't be certain, so I'm saying neither forks nor frame are Colnago. What ever you pay you're going to have it sprayed so there's more expense again....
If you gave me £360 for my alu Fort look alike cut away seat tube low pro complete with very swishy forks, I'd be happy

There's no way that's a Colnago....
It worth £150 tops in my opinion...don't go there! -

Does anyone know what type of Colnago this is?
-
• #33

What's the serial number? Looks like a Super to me.

Don't know the serial number, but shouldn't a master have chromed lugs?

The Colnago Precisa forks which is the look that those forks are copying will have COLNAGO written with a cutaway on the fork crown, and will also say Brevetto Colnago on the drop outs. They may well be pukka, as may yours Dogsballs (although your fame is deffo the real thing....ncie colour too BTW is that original ?), but on the 5 Colnagos I have had all have been exactly the same (Tecnos, sevaral Masters and a Super), I would reckon if they don't have one or the other, they are definitely not the real thing.
RvH, looks like a Super, but I don't know what those forks are off, they are like nothing I've ever seen on a 'Nago, but then they do do some cheaper end bikes for local consumption back in the day, the INternational etc. Yes, Masters will all have chromed lugs and be fully chromed up and then painted. I would suggest that given the age of the red one the chainstay on the drive side should have COLNAGO stamped on the outside and then chromed, if not, I doubt its the real thing. the serial number will be on the driveside dropout on the outside face whne you remove the wheel. Also, usually the guide for the front and rear mech cables usually say Colnago too. There is nothing Ernesto likes as much as his own name !!!
Sorry about the lag in response I have been away.
Cheers

Thanks for everyone's advice; roadiesean - good knowledge mate.
Didn't do it in the end (was coming from France, only had internet images to look at, seemed like a bunch of cowboys; would you trust anyone called Cool Raoul?)
Hmmm.. interesting. So why are some of you sceptical that they're not Colnago?
Is that your pink pistol Dogsballs?
