I'm just guessing that either the Colnago didn't have as good an engine as your bike or else its rider didn't know you were racing.

I'm not sure that's even a real photo. Look at the valve stem on the rear wheel, it sticks out of the side of the rim.

Ok, so what's going on with the valve stem? Does it really come out of the side of the rim like it looks?

Did he have a bunch of gold chains hanging down from underneath his jersey? 20lbs worth.

Was this on River Rd. Alpine approach, yesterday on the MS ride? I'm pretty sure I know who it is.
Otherwise, there is a funny, older guy who always rides his Colnago Ferrari around Piermont Bikes on Sundays. He's a legend...

He was coming back from a 6hr training ride with some nasty cat1s and 2s. He held on and finished but didn't have enough for the hill home. Congrats!
