Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I would have said no way, but then I saw the "free shipping" at the bottom. Might be worth it.

The butterfly Colnago comes up every few months from the same seller. For the same ridiculous price. I'm guessing, if nothing else, it drives traffic to his other items? Maybe, someday, he'll find someone that will actually pay 25 G's for that one?? I personally dig it, but not that​ much.

But it has FREE SHIPPING. I have seen one in person and it is a nicely done, but I believe that was a C50 with a fancy paint job. So allot extra for the paint.

According to "The Devil and Daniel Webster" it's worth "seven years of prosperity". Adjusted for inflation, that's about . . .
