New Bike Day! - Colnago Classic
I picked up this Colnago Classic last weekend. Sharp eyed forum members with a decent memory may have recently seen this bike posted.
It’s equipped with mostly Campy Veloce mixed in with some Mirage. She has a few beauty marks but the ride is sublime.

The straight blade fork always takes some visual expectation reset but bike looks nice...
could use a black painted steel stem.

Nice bike. I noticed right away that the colors closely match the colors in your avatar. New bike day, whether brand new or new to you, is always a bit of excitement.
