No Colnago in my opinion. Only thing that points in that direction is the clover in the bottom bracket, but that one doesn't look like a genuine one!

Agree completely - definitely not a Colnago clover and I've never seen a Colnago with an RD drop as on the bike in the pictures, not to mention the tubeset and lugs, which look most unColnago. Judging by the front fork, it's got a late 80s/early 90s look to it and, if that guess is close, Colnago would at that period of time never have put a frame on the market with a rear brake bridge that required nutted brakes.

Having had my say, I must also admit that I have no idea what the bike is.
 
I think so. This bike is probably converted polish Jaguar Special. Jaguar's never had dropouts like this. I have never seen dropouts like in this bike. In Poland in the 80-90' copying of legendary Colnago was very popular. Maybe someone drilled this logo at bottom bracket shell and replaced rear dropouts.

Yep, Bartglod - I think you could well be getting close to where this bike comes from. Although I had no idea what it was/is, my first "gut-feeling" was that it could well be an East German frame :(
