From dannyq1 "88 Serotta Colorado (Great ride but angles so tight the toe overlap starts getting to 'toes in sopkes', instead of just to the tire). "

I have a 1990 Colorado II ( a very early one with the horizontal drop outs).
It is still an exquisite ride but a bit heavy with the period correct DA 8 spd. (Purchased new by me).
It is a 21 1/2 lbs bike but I am curious if it can be made into a sub 19 # bike with a new Record group.

The toe overlap is only a problem at very low speeds (like at a stoplight or in a parking lot). It descends very nicely; responsive, lively and neutral.
