please explain why. is because you love the looks? is it because of performance? based on looks alone (beauty in the eye of the beholder....ya ya ya ya) every one of those calnago's are hideous. I guess if your into the old classic look I can understand, but I have never been one for classic anything.

How about the red one on this page....? The orange one you were commenting on is over the top -- in a way that I quite like, but some may not. The colnago with the chrome fork and lugs and tasteful build? Perfect.

Lots of folks would get excited about that bike.



Just saw this post, which you wrote after seeing one of the bare red/chrome/white colnago frames. Do you still hate the bike that much? c0lnago's build is just beautiful. Especially so for me, who is a classic fan, but most fans of modern cf/al/etc bikes would tip their hats to this one.

still a not IMO. I dont like the fork, seat post or stem. All good stuff but when put together I dont think it flows well together. reminds me of a VW bug with several different colored panels.

Hot. Though aesthetically, I like the B&W theme of the SLX01 even more.

Can't say I disagree but the SLX was like a sledgehammer and the RM is like a lighter sledgehammer with a plush handle.

I hear you. The Race Master is definite upgrade. Though the SLX looks the biz. Plus, I like the the look of the streempost seatpost.

My rationale for the red seatpost is because everything has a red accent.

It has:
3T Funda Pro with red stripe
3T Stem with red stripe
KCNC red titanium botls
KCNC spacers (which needs to be cut)
KCNC red jockey wheels
KMC red and black chain
KCNC seat post

In close up, the red is consistent amoungts all the pieces and brings the bike together nicely, imo.
