Oh no... I just looked at the Colnago website. Oh dear. (I've wanted one since I started riding in the '70s)

Anyway, I got a custom titanium Seven a few years ago, and I feel like this thing almost rides itself. I had custom wheels made, and I think it's the wheels that give it the nice ride. The thing rolls forever. I pass my "ballast assisted" friends on descents. Smooth wheels. Custom is a great option, especially if you've had any fit issues, but it takes a while to get the bike, and there's a lot of work up front to answer all the questions.
