Here is what I found on Colnago steel framesets, the master series but not exactly your version. It may be helpful. But notice that the item "J" wheelbase is not measured. I don't know why.

Now compare this with a racing road bike like the current Cervelo R-5. Other bike manufacturers like Specialized, Trek, Giant, would have a wider array of models to choose from, but with Cervelo its basically three basic models for road racing, the R, the S, and the Time Trial bike. This makes it less of a guess work as to their tendency towards a short wheelbase for handling at the pro level. Not that everyone is at the pro level.
