Looks like brand new paint/decals.
Ok, might as well upload the link as anyone who wants it will find it.
VINTAGE LATE 80'S COLNOGO OVAL LX FRAME W/FORKS
Something just smells fishy about this one.
The only reference I can find to "Oval LX" comes right back to this ad.
The Colnago Oval CX and Profil CX both have lugs, and many distinctive Colnago features.
I'm leaning towards a fake. Other opinions?

Maybe they misspelled Colnago on purpose to avoid counterfeit claims?
Judging by the "ambitious" pricing of their other stuff they know full well this is a fake.

It is a unique frame, and could be a nice build (other than the brand issues).

It might be a Nolnogo. Have a look at How to identify a Colnago Oval LX - should help.

The seller probably meant to write: colNOgo
