I love the colors, for me it simply works.
Here's another one, but a little more subdued.
Here's their '07 catalog for those who haven't seen it yet.

And what's up with the lugs? (If my eyes are not tricking me)
Are they too cheap to make seperate molds for each size?

I've said it before, I'll say it again: Colnago is the Vegas Showgirl of high-end cycling.
I have no idea how it rides, but I'm quite sure that the required tufts of chest hair and large gold medallions would make my jerseys fit weird.

After staring at that frame for a few minutes, I think the part of the design that totally throws it off for me is the fade-away white. If they'd just done the green and red on the carbon without the white, it woulda been hot. With the white, it looks . . . um. . . . well. . . . garish and UGLY!

Being the altruist that I am, if any of you get this bike for christmas, a birthday, or an anniversary, I will gladly take it off your hands (i'll even pay shipping!) so that you don't have to put up with the hideous colors.
Ain't I a nice guy?
