At first glance it looks like an OCLV; the paintjob looks like US Postal colours. However I am 99% sure it isn't; the welds at the head tube look like aluminium frame welds; the OCLV has very sooth joins here.
Not many details in the listing. I would personally avoid and pay a bit more for a genuine OCLV, if you are going to havng 7700 Dura-Ace onto a frame it would have to be something special.

I wondered the same after a bit more looking and sent a message which confirms it is indeed aluminium.

Colnago C40 in Mapei colourway. Iconic bike, iconic times and the team bikes wore Shimano 7700 proudly.

If it helps, I've seen in the components sale thread, user scant is selling an OCLV carbon frame , size 56

I was going to say a Colnago master, but I owned a GT Edge in steel. Fillet brazed in Colorado. Lovely bike. They made a titanium version as well as an alloy. The Ti. would been a sweet ride with Dura Ace.
