I got a master because of the simple fact that none and i mean NONE of the of the other brands were in stock anywhere in europe except cinelli and those were only in stock in colors i didnt want (wanted red).
all other makers and retailers had a 40-120 day delivery period.
F that S imo. But colango was available in my size and color right away. so a colnago it was! colnago obviously know a bit more about doing biz than the rest of the the bunch, and therefore have distributors with stock at hand for immediate delivery.
edit add: I just saw that R&A has the same design/color in stock in size 54
"you cant sell from an empty cart."
and thats how it works.
Yes, I did notice, but didn't put two and two together. Should have figured Colnago dealers might have something in stock - they do seem to sell pretty well.
p.s. Just noticed that R&A has the same frame, same color in stock in size 54.
