Hello, I'm thinking of buying this frameset.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Colnago-M10s- ... 3ce0cff2c2

here is the same seller's post from an italian forum with larger pictures and more details

http://mercatino.bdc-forum.it/p-39141-T ... lnago-M10s

Seller has good references and It looks like good opportunity to me.
There are more and more fake frames on the net and I'm a bit worried about it's authenticity.
So I'm asking colnago experts for their opinion. Is it real or fake?
Thank you very much!

    I think you guys are developing a counterfeit paranoia.... a 30 seconds google search reveals that this is a legitimate bike shop based in Veneto, the spiritual home of Italian cycling, just a few miles away from Campagnolo HQ, why would they sell a counterfeit frame????

    Owning an M10 that is the first time I have seen the front braze on not painted, I maybe wrong but check where the serial number is, on Italian Colnagos the serial number is on the inside of the nearside rear drop out.

    On the Far Eastern Colnagos that are built in the giant factory they could be there or on the BB.
