Can anybody date this Colnago Dream frame?

Devout Dirtbag
Hi all, new to the forum and just bought the bike in the pics. I'm trying to work out year it was made; currently it's got a more modern campag groupset on it and I'm trying to get it back to the right spec for the year.

I thought it was 2003 at first but the soft Art Deco paint is more like a 1997-1998 frame. Any ideas?

Re:

Looks better to me as it is now, just needs a black seat post. It looks barely used, I hope you are going to change that situation :).

Would love something like that myself but baggy shorts and a beer belly just wouldn't cut it. My lycra days are a distant memory!

Hehe. Never too late :)

I'm putting period chainset and wheels on, the rest is staying as is for now.
