Hey, I would do buy-it-now for $1750 on that blue Ebay Colnago, just so I can tell my non-bike friends I ride an ASSO.
That Pinarello looks great. Any Italian bike with any tricolore paint scheme looks great to me.

My LBS had one sitting around for a about a year...I'm pretty sure a collector left it there to be shown off. It was okay up close but I couldn't imagine walking into a shop and saying "man I want a colnago and gee do you have one that is painted up with random crap that is reminiscent of DaVinci?" but then again I dont' see myself ever walking into a shop and wanting a Colnago...they just don't do it for me except for the all steel Master series

I absolutely love my Pegoretti! I've put almost 5000 miles on it in about a year and a quarter....the only draw back is that it is heavy. Even with mostly record components and some decently light wheels my 56 cm comes in at 20lbs. Doesn't matter though because at 225 lbs I don't need a 15 lbs bike.

It looks like a nice set-up.

i think the sunflowers are interesting to look at, but i wouldn't wanna ride it
i kinda like the Da Vinci
i've seen the Jet up close. i think it's cool as hell. 'course, i'm biased
the Good 'N' Plenty bike just looks fuzzy to me. like somebody covered the whole thing with shag carpeting
