O.K. DD you can stop that any time! This bike is absolutely beautiful.Was that seat post done on a CNC(almost certain it was) or manual mill? No, I don't want to tear mine down to get painted yet! Repeat..... I just know I will be without my orange Ernie for too long , we are still in the honeymoon stage. I know you have that other very special Colnago in your stable, as well as some other nice steeds , but still , IT'S ORANGE!!! Any way I am confident the new owner will enjoy the heck out of this stallion. I have only sold a couple of bikes , and , honestly , it made me happy to see the new owner ride away with that smile. I have not regretted selling them. Thanks for sharing the "Last Ride" , Joe
