Identifying potential 80s Colnago model

Hi Redditors,

I have been lately trying to find a vintage road bike that I can use as my bike commuter. Surfing the second hand market in Spain, I bumped into what seems to be a Colnago Sport from the late 80s. The seller is currently pricing it at around 240€, and I am aware that the frame isn’t high-end (as the Sport seemed to be more affordable Colnagos back in the day) and that some pieces have been changed over time.

Nonetheless, and while I have been done some research about it (even consulting recommended guides in other posts and making use of AI services to give me a hand), I cannot seem to fully judge whether this is a fake Colnago or not. The bike seems to be in good condition and it probably has been repainted.

I will be taking a look tomorrow in person and then decide whether to take it home or not. In the end, I purely want it to ride it in town, but I‘m also curious to see whether it is authentic or not, as I wouldn’t like to overpay.

Thank you in advance for your help!
