...actually, weight wise the road bike in the mag was only 9kg odd.....pretty fair i woulda thought for 30 years ago & made outta 531 steel.....but the components were absolute crap compared to todays...the writer makes some comment about the braking system being 'downright dangerous'....lol...They've got Eddy's track bike that he set the hour record on.....5.7kg....but more holes drilled in it than swiss cheese....Mr colnago was reportedly very worried that the thing was just gunna 'fold' up under eddy's power!
