No C-50 that was imported to the US in 2005 was ever imported without FD hanger and Colnago did not offer that as an option to the US distributor. To me it sounds like it was either a mistake or one of the frames made for the then newly available compact cranks that didn't work well with the rivetted FD mount. Since Colnago quickly came up with a design that worked with the compact cranks, it seems odd that a frame would be made on spec without the mount. So my gut feeling is that it was an error and that explains why the frame was still available 4 years later...
