It was a good deal on a frame that I can't pass up, so I didn't really have much of a choice. I got it mostly because I heard so much about the Colnago magic carpet ride quality and want to try it myself. It's taking the place of the Cannondale EVO hi-mod in the stable, and their ride quality cannot be more different judging from my one day commute experience. Cant' wait for the long ride tomorrow and see how it climbs compare to the Cdale EVO which was a super lightweight race horse of a bike. I guess that's all it matters at the end of the day, getting a bike that you can't wait to ride it. Hopefully it lives up to its reputation and my expectation.
