Counter-fente? Do tell (or send me to a link?)

@Barrettscv: Thanks for the ride report - I was sure you'd have a positive experience pedaling that beauty.

Bibliobob, how about some gouge on the Medici Gran Turismo, please. I love the yellow panels and that medium blue colourway, I felt that my Pro Strada would have looked nice with panels in its design of the paint. It looks like the drillium bugs were in your area at some time, too.

The bar wrap color choice on Barrettscv is right with me. Had the same on my pearl white nago. Plus, white is what a team's leader bike would've been wrapped with

I recall seeing bibliobob's c-fente in his bike dungeon. Its neato. Though I've never seen a genuine Confente up close to compare but who cares? It's disclosed as being such and consider it a tribute.

A few pictures of the road-ready Colnago. I've installed 53 &37 chainring set, Super Record derailleurs and 700x28 Vittoria Corsa tires. The bike also has new cables and housings, a Velo Orange water bottle cage and Look pedals.
