Pretty sweet bike, I mean really...a great bike, but the fit looks off.
I live in your area...what Spec. dealer did you use to get it?
I know a couple of local people who went to Endeavor Performance in Nashville to get their bike fitted to them after they popped for an expensive race bike. https://www.endeavorperformance.com/i...icycle-fitting
I think that bike you have is nice enough to make the trip. My bet is that you will walk out of there very satisfied.

I have a Hot or Not question: Why is no one insisting that the wheel stickers be removed on this set of wheels? It seems that most if not all high profile wheelsets here are dinged for not removing the stickers. IMHO, I like a good set of decals on wheels.

I guess if it says Campagnolo, it's automatically cool and good looking.

dat's right....he gets Italian matchy-matchy points with that set up....
personally, I don't like the spoke-paired look of Campy wheels, period...but this Colnago is undeniably hot....

So, titanium and Campy - what is there not to like about this bike? The frame and steering tube is a bit unusual with such height extension and a small frame in addition to so may spaces. I wonder if this is just too small a frame or the rider and we are looking at compromises?
