I prefer the latter but not the steerer tube length. If you want a great frame for half the price, look at Bianchi. Roughly the same height to length ratio as Colnago with a bit longer steerer tube per frame size which will get the bars up a bit closer to the seat for long legged guys like you and me. If you want to race and can stand the paint jobs and price, buy a Colnago.

Well, that other blather aside, sydney has
2 Colnagos , doesn't race(whatever that has to do with anything, other than imply Bianchis might be for granny ladies and geezers) and prefers their stunning artisan paint jobs to Bianchi snot green thank you.
Do you ever miss making a lame plug for Bianchi,whatever the topic...? Must be on the payroll...Eh?
