I guess if your into the old classic look I can understand, but I have never been one for classic anything.

Speaking of steel colnagos I sold off the campy super record bits that came with mine and bought a 10 speed campy group from ribble.

The road feel and handling are second to none IMO. Feels completely different from carbon or aluminum. Haters gonna hate as they say, I've always found colnagos appealing and now that I am fortunate enough to own one I have to say that it has exceeded my expectations. I'd imagine a new one would be even better than my old SL frame. Who knows. Interesting mine is from 1983 and it looks a lot like the new master.

Truvativ elita gxp. It works totally fine but I wish I could afford something lighter and better looking. Weighs 910g with the bb which is a standard sram gxp. Besides that the bike is fully shimano.

you have severely wasted your time, and my power meter levels have been raised to "win".

ravenmore 12-16-11 05:11 AM

I kind of like these as well but will never pay the premium price people ask for them. I also like the early 2000 aluminum Colnagos with the straight chromed fork.

Incorrect. This is far more vain than the other one,

echotraveler 12-16-11 06:41 AM

Guys a bike can be awesome (ex Colnago) but you gotta take a picture that meets the specific criteria for "HOT" its not easy. And even after it might end being a "NOT" if its ugly. Lol

As an example i have a "NOT" bike, it's an awesome bike that helps me go really fast! :)
Someday i will post a "HOT" bike. Until then im gonna become a hot r not police

They are posts from last month. I didn't craft a thing, you set yourself up. I didn't have to go looking, your
trolling is pretty easy to remember.


I thought mods banned trolls?

I've seen guys like him come and go. They usually have a finite lifespan before they do something to get themselves banned.

If I found one for a steal I'd buy one, but for what they typically go for there are just a lot of other competent options for a better price.

It's not a road bike, but its a cycle I use on the road ;) & gravel & anywhere theres a "No tresspassing" sign cause thats where the fun is. (old pic). seriously though, i came to ogle pics & look for ideas for a future road bike build but it seems theres more talkin than colnago pics in here.
