It's more of a "bucket list" sort of thing, having the chance to ride some amazing bikes. That being said of course, I am expecting the LBS to give me a significant discount for a "bulk" purchase
.
A Colnago has always been on my bucket list as a bike to buy when I retire. When that day came, I was all set to get a C59 but alas, ran into fit issues. Being a bit vertically challenged and having a short torso, the race and endurance frames were way to aggressive a fit so I ended up with their sport frame ACE. It may not be the high end Colnago that I wanted, but it's a Colnago and that's been scratched off my bucket list. After riding that bike for a year and a half, I wouldn't give it up for any other bike on the market.
