Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I didn't realized Colnago made reasonably priced bikes, I have previously only heard of the C59 and C60. The Strada costs around $1,700 with 105 parts, which is in CAAD 10 5 territory. Is the Colnago overpriced? Are they making an entry level sub-par bike and using their name as the main selling point?

By what I see in the website the SL is an endurance geometry frame and the Caad10 is a pure-bred race frame. Not sure if there is much of a difference really as I am probably as fast (or slow) on my roubaix as on my TCR. I do think that the caad10 is highly regarded as the best AL frame for the money around. If you want to be different or like the looks then do the Strada SL on Yellow
