Bob,
you want a colnago super, made from columbus SL or SP. The SL was the
lighter gauge, probably only used in frames 56cm and smaller. You
NEED a Columbus bike because these are simply a little bit lighter
than a reynolds bike, and you'd like to know how the ride feel
differs. The Colnago Super is reputed to have a "magic carpet ride"
somewhat like another bicycle maker of the 1970's that is probably out
of your price range (Cinelli Super Corsa.)
Alternately, why not get a modern cinelli from american cyclery? If
you have the $$$, they still have a lot of really cool colors that are
no longer made ...

A Colnago Super would be great, but I have another suggestion: a Masi
Gran Criterium.
That's what I would choose if I had a choice.
