Thanks for sharing this find.

This model of NISI rim seems slightly early for a 1979 machine.

Are they Sludis?

Pretty bike, are the spokes tied and soldered with brass?

I would have a hard time not putting a Brooks on to match the hoods and tires, but that appears to be a nice race saddle.

Looks like tubs, if so good call in not going with the cheap Rally tires, the green Logo would have matched but they are horrible tires that always flat and get lumps.

Nice!
I can't recall ever seeing a Colnago in green before.
I like it!

the saddle looks like a hide-covered Unicanitor, and probably just the type saddle for that bike. I rode one of those on my first Raleigh, in fact, it left the bike shop with it in place of the padded metal-pan saddle that was shipped on the bike.

And yes, Brooks to ride, Unicanitor to show

now we need photos of the crank and stem pantographs

text book definition of bicycle porn, I've never seen a Colnago in green before such a beautiful machine.
