If you really want to ride bikes, this bike could be a life changer. Have a blast.

Another picture, but yet still from iPhone.
Argon 18 Krypton Fulle Ultegra, upgraded from a Trek 1.1.
This is a lot of bike for my skill set.

That picture was taken from my backyard and I'm glad you liked the view. It's a beautiful place to live.
I love my force group as well. My other bikes have Shimano and SRAM has it's advantages. I also love that Selle San Marco Regale saddle. It's really comfortable on the long rides.

Don't think I've ever posted this here yet. The saddle is about half an inch lower now. I'm slightly afraid that the frame is too large for me.

I was told the frame was a 56, I have a feelings that it's larger. I can't find a geo chart on it at all. I'm 5'11 on a good day.

Here is a very informative article about how to size these frames:
https://www.bikesportmichigan.com/reviews/colnago.shtml
Boil down is you need to go smaller and use a set back seatpost and a long stem to make them fit right. For comparison you can see my 58cm and appriciate how much seatpost it is showing.
Good luck!
