Thanks for the clarifications and info about how to ID a counterfeit. In over 30 years of riding, buying and selling many, many bikes and this is the first time I've purchased a fake. Looks like I didn't do my due diligence on this one. I'm going to take the FS ad down now. The guy I purchased it from is local, and because it was represented it as real, I'm going to take it up with him.

I can assure you I wasn't trying to hoodwink any paceliners. God knows this would be the worst place imaginable to sell a fake, as it would be pointed out in about two minutes. Which is exactly what happened.

In all seriousness, Elliott points out the cable stops on the chainstay. They should be external. Also the cable stops at the headtube area are pressed/glued in on a real C60, not held in by the alloy screw. Also check on the underside of the DT where there is the EPS charging port. How many ports? And there should be a Colnago sticker with a legitimate serial number.

Here's a good graphical reference of things to look for:
