Everything I need and nothing I don't

ilovecycling

I disagree. Looks nothing like a Caad10. To a degree, all bicycles look pretty much the same. It's the subtle differences that differentiate the nice ones from the not-so-nice ones. Lugged carbon construction with a traditional (or sloping if you prefer) geometry is a completely different animal than the welded aluminum Caad10. In my eyes, the Colnago c59 is the epitome of a beautiful bicycle. Then again, beauty is always in the eye of the beholder so it's impossible to prove one bicycle looks better than another.

i agree. it is much like my aluminum bike. ok, mine is black and and campagnolo equipped but i would describe it as clean simple and attractive. not hot but it gets the job done and looks good doing it.

I can guarantee you that my Colnago is one of the cheapest bikes in this thread. In fact, I only bought it because I wanted a cheap carbon fibre road bike with some decent parts on it, I just got lucky is all. Assuming that a person would buy a bike only because it is expensive and flashy shows your own insecurities, not ours.

This one was cheap too, I wanted to give titanium a try and, again, got lucky.

this thread reminds me of this website where members upload pictures of themselves and have people vote whether they're hot or not....I don't know if it still exists..

Velo_Tut

You lost me. What does expensive bikes have to do with someones sense of security? Riding an ugly bike wouldn't make me insecure, in fact I think too much "flash" can often create a poser, Fred, etc.

Lowcel's is hot.

JoeyC68

Looks nice. Is that a Ritchey Logic crank, or Truvativ?

abstractform20

dream frame...i will own one, one day.

bianchi10

please explain why. is because you love the looks? is it because of performance? based on looks alone (beauty in the eye of the beholder....ya ya ya ya) every one of those calnago's are hideous. I guess if your into the old classic look I can understand, but I have never been one for classic anything.

Velo_Tut

^^^ Are those new frames, i.e. 2011-2012? They look dated.

abstractform20

blasphemy. all of it. when your carbon explodes in the sunlight, you will understand...unfortunately it will be too late.

bianchi10

I dont have a carbon bike, so I'll still be riding 1 bike length ahead of you I kid I kid

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.

abstractform20

what a loser. a grown man finding old troll/half-hearted posts, and using them to craft his golden moment of revenge.

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

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.

ravenmore

He did kinda get you from what I could tell.

UCIMBZ

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

echotraveler

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

thirdgenbird

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?

Only the good ones, he hasn't made it past noobie troll status yet.
