At first glance, that looks fake. But Im not an expert on Colnago

There are a number of things that are not right about that build, if you look closely. I see four right away. Can you find five?

There is the possibility of something wacky about the fork tube/headset/stem set up but it isn't clear if an adapter was used.
For the rest I am lost.

Thanks for pointing this out, the bigger part of the chainwheel looks too large while the cassette looks too small or like part of it is missing, although i do think they did an ok job for a fake bike.

That don't look like any 'Nago I have ever seen. 10 out of 10 would not buy even if somehow that was a real Colnago by some magical mystery that will elude scientists for decades. Also the bike is pictured on the completely wrong side amongst many other issues.
