something like that - the ISO9000 certification caught my eye.

On a C50 that I built up for a friend last week. Left hand side of the lower part of the seat tube....

I was making a joke about the location of the sticker (which is clear from the picture) perhaps I should have included a ;)

I don't have that label on mine....

How about thses? And also I can't read the serial # because the front der boss mounting plate, where the serial# is stamped, is painted... I can see it's under the paint but i can't make it out..

I got it, I just feel compelled to answer wise guys with sincere, earnest responses. ;)

I have the first one, same as yours.

But I also have a serial number applied to the back of the derailleur braze on (second photo.) Odd. :confused:

I definitely don't have serial# sticker on the der boss plate... it's actually stamped on the plate itself but can't make it out since the plate has a good amount of paint on it. Unless I take some of the paint off the der boss plate I just don't know the serial # of my frame(!?)

When I saw that "made in Italy" label I just thought the label looked unfamilier and sure enough mine didn't have one....

I got mine from Maestro and it could be the difference of EU vs US version labeling....?

Maybe they started adding stickers on top of the paint to solve the problem reading the number through the paint.

Or maybe yours came from a shipment that was on a truck that was hijacked in Trieste by a gang of Slovenian gangsters. Might make a more interesting story?

I have one the very first USA models thru TrialTir -- no label, serial no. on der. mount, mine is pretty legible, as I recall from filling out the warranty paperwork.

mine is just an earlier made frame like yours with a bit too much paint over the stamped serial # on the der hanger.... the serial # sticker and made-in-Italy label is something they've started to do later...

You would think they have the system down as afterall they've mfg'ed enough C40s over the years....but then again they are Colnago if u know what I mean...finding their seriel # on their different model and year frames is like looking for Easter eggs!
