Colnago Formula 1 or something else?
Not sure this is actually a Colnago; never seen one like it anyways. Someone is asking for a value on the CABE site. Frame looks kind of rough as far as condition, but bad photo.

Hard to tell much from those blurry photos but my guess is a very cheap bike with seat stays crimped at both ends and bolted to the seat lug and the chain stays. Chains stays also appear to be crimped.

There are many depictions of the Virgin (even an Eskimo one, super cool) and this one appears to be the Virgin of Guadalupe, so that narrows it down to the Americas. I am thinking it's a Colnago factory one off for the late Archbishop of Mexico?

Thank you for your input Brent. Apparently the seller does not want to provide more or better photos since the CABE post has not shown anymore. I kind of feel sorry for the guy/girl who is selling it if they bought it thinking it was a Colnago. Now they may not be too pleased at receiving news that it is not what they thought it was, and probably will not get close to what they thought its value was if it had been authentic.
