I do agree about the crankarms, they are quite unsightly.

Never been a fan of the majority of Colnago's. Still not a fan of this one, but the photo is fantastic. Love that bokeh!

Habanero classic hot, in my book.

Thanks, never quite sure which hobby is number one, photography or bicycling, but always nice when you can combine them.

Would you care to elaborate on what sounded so stupid? Or were you just eager to use a graphic you found today, and simply disagree over the hotness of the bike in question?

Sweet - I like it!

Go pick up an EF 300 f/2.8L IS and that bokeh can be yours, too.

I just picked up a 50mm f/1.8 and have mixed feelings. Its my first prime lens and I'm not used to having to do all the moving to get the frame I want. Though, I am enjoying the bokeh. Next, I'd like to upgrade my Canon T3i to a Canon D70

WhyFi

Take a little time with it but keep in mind that your personal shooting style will align with certain fields of view but not others. Personally, I really like a ~50mm on a crop body, but find it to be limited use (usually portraiture or product photography). ~24mm, on the other hand, I could shoot with all day. ~35mm is another popular all-day focal length. (I'm referring to the focal lengths on a crop body, which would roughly align with 35, 50 and 85 on a FF slr body). Frankly, I wouldn't bother with the body upgrade, yet - it's not going to be a good ROI at this point, so figure out your glass, first.

Good point. I had a sigma 20mm ultra wide for a couple months but NEVER even used it. Sold it to get some cycling gear. I may sell this after I have some time to play with it and try out a 35mm.

WhyFi

Rather than buying/selling primes, take a standard zoom, tape it down at a certain focal length for days/weeks at a time and see if you find an FoV speaks to you. When you find one that does, go in for the prime if it offers you the speed/aperture and/or other IQ advantages over the zoom.

Jeeebus that's a great idea. Thanks

+1 for not upgrading the body right now. (23 yr pro) T3i is a great little camera and should do all that you need. And for me, I'd recommend buying used if you aren't already. POTN is a great source for good used Canon gear… In fact, if you are patient and find a decent deal, you can easily buy your primes, shoot with them for a while and sell them at little to no cost to you.

Hot. Even though I'm not crazy about the color combo.

IcySmooth52

I'd say not; because it's got too much detail flying around.

That's kind of the aesthetic of those Colnagos. That bare carbon/blue-white fade is one of the more subdued schemes and I've seen that frame in person, and it's really nice.
Personally, I would love to own that bike. It's got an old school flavor but still contemporary.
The rider on the top tube is an odd graphic but the entire bike is pretty in that custom airbrush style.

The truly ugly Colnagos are the C-stay bikes, now those looked stupid new and even more pointless and stupid now.

igotyofire

are those Super Six forks?

cruiserhead

Nice, this was my favorite color scheme of this style Colnago. I think Rabobank used the orange one?
This was just before they used those gimmicky and ugly vagina chainstays

Paint looks a little dated, but has that hand sprayed charm. I think it looks great, and probably have even more retro cool factor as it gets older

I really like this bike. I'll be putting some gumwalls on my tcr soon! Can you please post a better pic that shows driveside as well? The color combo is outstanding. 8.7 /10. @ about 98F.
