Colnero identification

Retro Newbie
Picked up a 'Colnero' frame on the 'bay for £70. As I understand it these were sold by Diamant of Belgium, either made there or Italy and were generally of good quality.

A few numbers on the (english thread) BB but no obvious serial numbers. It weighs 2.7kg with the matching forks so not too shabby - no decals beyond two wraparound easy-to-peel Colnero Italia decals but I assume something reasonable on terms of tubing.

126mm rear drop outs and by the look of it i'd assume late-80s or very early 90s.

Anyone know much about them beyond that? Is £70 a fair price?

Will get pics up soon.
 
AFAIK Colnero were a Viner copy that used a sort of "cross" cut out of the lugs and not the usual Viner Star................or am I thinking about Colner?
