Here ya go. If one of you buys this, you are the OCP God for eternity!
Seriously, I would see if State farm or Geiko could insure this.
Would a sane person even dare ride it?

Downtube shifters, quill stem, aluminum bottle cages, polished hardware ... I'd say their trying to go for the contemporary/retro feel ala 2005 Mustang - Problem is, overall bike design (aside from materials) hasn't really changed much over the past couple decades... My girfriend wouldn't be able to tell the difference between a bike made in the 80's and a bike made in '05...

It's not new, it's a '96
Only 3 pieces worldwide!
The Ernesto Colnago dreambike is new and unused, 0 km, it was own for the last 8 years by a collector and it is in good order and condition.
Here a cuple of facts:
Colnago C35 Roadbike by Ferrari with a Full Carbon Monocoque Frame, complete Campagnolo Record Anniversary Saphir 7speed 24 Carat Goldplated.
You bid on one of the most rarely and exclusively bicycle in the world.
This bicycle was exclusive from Ferrari engineers developed.

I dunno... Late Testarosa's remind me too much of Miami Vice... Don't get me wrong though - I'd take that thing in a heartbeat!

I'm sorry, but Colnagos are the dumbest bikes on the planet. They WISH they were like Ferraris. The only people suffering from that misconception (besides some of the people that own these bikes) is Colnago.
My friend's Colnago BiTitan (a titanium Colnago c. 1994 or so) was the biggest piece of crap ever foisted on a big bucks bike consumer. It broke in 90 days. Looked dopey, lasted less than 6 months.
But lots of people LIKE these bikes. Hey, don't listen to me. I ride a friggin Cannondale. I'm sure all the Colnago owners hate Cdales as much as I hate Colnagos. Whatever floats your boat I suppose. To me Colnagos will always be the poster boy for foo-foo bikes.

You need to have riden a c40, when they were still new. If you have and didn't like it, I can't understand how. It was a incredible frame, could do it all.
I remember there was a older woman, when I was in my teens (1986-1987) that would always ride along the coast past our place on a black Colnago w/all gold plated parts.

My big concern is the way that the inner tube valve seems to be hindered by the wheel. Seems like it would be difficult to attach a pump to that. Is that how all carbon wheels are set up?

I don't have to 'back up' my remarks. My hatred for Colnagos is purely visceral and illogical. I think they're ********. Just like some people hate Cannondales.
They remain, and will always be, foo foo bikes. That's like a foo foo restaurant where they serve the salt and pepper in little plates with miniature spoons instead of in shakers.
