Hi - I`m new to this ,so apologies if I don`t get all the protocols right. I have recently bought a "Colnago CLX " on a well known auction site for a few hundred £`s. After closer inspection when cleaning it up I noticed that the black paint had been sprayed on over a base yellow and filled in the serial numbers on the bottom bracket. made me quite suspicious. the vendor assures me that he bought it new from a dealer and has never had a problem with it. as it is only an entry point Colnago I don`t think anyone would go to the trouble of faking it - and I read on forums that having several coats of paint is quite common on Colnagos.
Anyone help me with a view ? whatever,I can ride it as my "wet and Winter " bike,just curious. I found serial numbers on the bottom bracket : "M ( or inverted W ) 1283 x 1 " and "W" or inverted "M" opposite - see pics.
Thanks
