The cranks on both bikes are f-ugly!!!

For a 50th anniversary bike, I was thinking Colnago would have thought of a really brilliant color scheme for the paint job. The black is just plain and boring to look at. I have no doubt that the bike is dream to ride. I would kill for either grouppo, but come on man its your 50th birthday, celebrate for gawdsake!!!

I wonder how many places you can find the word "Colnago" on that bike

Personally, I find this frame much nicer than either the Derosa
or Colnago anniversary frame. If a builder is going to build a
"retro" or anniversary frame they should build a bike that
reflects the heritage, etc. I think that GIOS does with the
Super Record frame. I believe it is a copy of the 1978 frame
(may be wrong here) as ridden by De Vlaeminck you can see
more of them at GIOS.IT (http://www.gios.it/)

Probably the Giant TCR 100 Once looks better

You spotted the wheels were Campagnolo then ;)

I don't find the other logo's too intrusive. I don't really like the look of aero rims either.
