tubing type(s) for Olmo and Colnago? I'm assuming Trek is 531C, but confirm if that's correct...
Hang on: Is this just a "composition" or are you actually trying to "decide" between the 3? (I'm sort of literal, sometimes...)

This is just me funnin with the camera. Only decision to be made here is which one to build first! I'm leaning toward the Olmo but sloar's Trek haunts me from the closet on a daily basis. The Colnago is an Alan Wanta respray and it is just too damn gorgeous to put a wrench on just yet.

If you're looking for a title I would call it radioactive.
As far as decisions, print the picture, pin hole the center and give her a spin!

You have a selection of bikes to ride so it isn't like you need to have one of these three to ride. I vote the Colnago first, then the Olmo.
Which 700 is the Trek?
