My rule of thumb: If it's not a car and is branded with a car label, it's probably crap.

I want Mclaren to make a bike. They could actually build the thing themselves, having their own carbon composite facility.
Namedropping 'Shuey' in the advert for this bike is kind of ironic. He would be fast in any capable vehicle, but he happens to drive the Ferrari branded Fiat. He wins because he is skilled and terribly fit. Back to "it's not the bike".

I think you mean "Schumi" which is Schumachers nickname auf Deutsch.
Like most Colnagos, that bike is terribly gaudy. I'd be embarrassed to ride it.

FWIW, it's authentic. The CFs were a limited edition run of bikes made for Colnago at the Ferrari factory. It was not, as the listing said, made on behalf of Ferrari by Colnago, but made for Colnago by Ferrari. The marketing bumf said something about celebrating Colnago's long relationship with Ferrari.
