I've been considering getting a Rock Lobster. The man has been building bikes for a while now. He's prices are really reasonable too considering his experience.

A. Your mind was already made up if you honestly could "feel" a difference between the 2 frames.
B. The C-Dale had a better build or better tune.

I had that frame - only mine was red. It was pretty awesome. I cracked it last year in a crash. Now I'm riding a Caad 9.
I like the Caad 9, but I'm not sure it was as nice as that S-Works.
By the way, the S-Works frame is hanging on the wall in my garage - I couldn't get rid of it.

I don't know. I'm in Asia and can't use 1-800 numbers.
I would also assume that that would be an office number. It is production that is in Taiwan now.

2005 Colnago Active Made in Italy
2005 Colnago Active, nice TIG welding and light! Purchased off of CL, used and looks near new!
And, made in Italy! Hand painted, not the usual graphic decals applied like the far eastern frames.

I've heard the Cinelli Xperience has good reviews.

Big fan of the old Giant TCR aluminum frames. Wicked fast and still many 200 mile days on this one.
