I realize it does not meet all the staging requirements I was just bored at work and snapped a couple to keep the bike pictures coming. Now that I've been on it for awhile I'm wanting to get the bars a little lower. Should I move a spacer or two up or swap the stem for something less than the stock +17?

Okay, my first post in this thread. Let me see if I understand the "rules":
Colnago = HOT, but need to fix the crank angle and lose the space above the stem, your valves are not at 6 o'clock (in this picture they are, but weren't in the first), and having a computer on top of the stem is apparently gauche. How'd I do? But still, it's a Colnago, so again, HOT!
In all seriousness, that bike is hot, and I love the paint job.

I love these rims. They are pretty light at 450ish grams, which is about the same as other 23mm width rims. The biggest thing about these rims is the wide profile. You can really feel the width in cornering. The worst thing about these rims is that it is pretty sad when the anodizing wears down on the braking track.

@Fiery - The other thread is also shut down right now… It's sad when grown adults resort to name calling and pot shots over… bicycles?!
Anyway, like the bike, but not hot imo. Too many logos. I think there's a logo on every available tube except for the wheels. I don't care too much about the staging as I actually prefer a more interesting background like the one you've chosen. Bike just doesn't have enough oomph for me to rank as hot.
