Identify this Colnago?
Hi everyone, I recently picked up this Colnago (I hope!) off a site for 100 euro. It seems to me to have been repainted, and there aren't many photos either, but the imprints, lugs, nice-looking frame, and bad day tempted me to treat myself. The owner also sent an original seat and pump too.
From what I've read, it seems to be a Super (with the embossed clover on the top tube), but I was just wondering if anyone could help identify whether it's real, and if it is, the model, year, as well as maybe take a stab at the size, which I estimate as a 58. Did I get a good deal or is this nothing special?

P.S. If anyone's interested I'll update the thread with more pics when it arrives.

Update:
It arrived today, and feels really great. A tad on the big side I think, though that might be because I ride an MTB usually. Here are some pics. I'm pretty sure it's been repainted, and there seems to be some surface rust, as well as a little on the cogs (the guy who owned it never rode it.) I also noticed Campagnolo rear dropouts. Any help with IDing what model it is would be fantastic.

Appears to be a repainted Super from 1976 to 1980ish. Probably '76 to '78.
If the saddle is adjusted to you then yes, too big.
