The frame lettering and bar tape is already enough white IMO. I'd really like to get some 303s on this thing, but that isn't happening any time soon.

I used to miss your caad9 but this update changes everything.

Do you still have the bora wheels? If so, quit thinking about 303s and get proper pictures.

Just washed her.
Also, for those that care, stem may drop in the near future.

Hot, the really tiny size makes it look like the front ring is huge

That Colnago is nice, but it's white, so a Not in my book. Why white?

The Look is HOT.

The white and black color scheme on my Colnago is paint code PR99. It is a special edition color scheme to celebrate the earlier Masterlight frames. Even the shape of the top and down tubes was designed to commemorate the earlier Masterlight frames.

To be honest, I have never been a big fan of white frames. My other bikes are red and white (Bottecchia), Celeste-white-black (Bianchi) and orange and black (Cannondale). But the moment that I saw the Colnago in this particular color scheme I HAD to have it. It looks a lot better "in person." The white is so glossy it almost look like the paint is still wet and the black is not really black, it is nekkid carbon.

I understand your comments, but remember, white is the new black. :)

I think that if you saw this frame in person, you might be smitten--like I was.

HOT.

details on the build? Ti frame or Stainless steel?

maybe take a red magic permanent marker/paint to the yellow VP one plug on the bebop pedals to give it a tiny red accent?

wow... just wow...

EDIT:

I just wanted to add a picture of my bike to possibly have the first, and probably only, time two bikes that have bebop pedals have been presented sequentially, in this thread:

This thread keeps getting hotter and hotter! WOW!

Normally I'm not a big fan of panels on Ti frames, but it goes so well with the other black and red bits on this build... awesome...

Hot. The only time I've seen a seat bag be sorta cool. What brand is it?

How do you like Bebop pedals? Was thinking of some for my cross bike.

well, other people seem to like this....but NOT hot in my books. Ugly paint scheme and brown saddle bag...that seat looks ridiculous.

Hot!!!
My only gripe is the color of the saddle bag, it's removable so "no points deducted". ;)

If you gave this bike a "NOT", then you have to post your bike...It's a must!
