The Colnago is an Ovalmaster. They don't make them anymore. It has an ovalized down tube and the top tube is also shaped - like a diamond with the sides pushed in. I got it almost 6 years ago. It's seen a lot of miles. It's Campy record 9 speed with the racing T triple crank (because that was before Campy made a record triple - and now I hear they've stopped making them again!). Since it's just a 9 speed and I know that I will need a SUPER granny gear for long brevets, I plan to get a smaller ring on my triple. I spent an inordinate amount of time in my granny gear, on the flats mind you, during the 600k last year.
Yep glad I got my new bike while the Campy triple was still around. I was shocked when I read that they wont be making triples anymore. Whats with that??

Mate I cant imagine pedaling for 600km in any gear. You are an inspiration to those of us that are feeling nervous about 200kms.
