Remember there are older people that use flat bars on racing bicycles because is more simple and comfortable.
FYI - like the Japanese Bianchis, this is just a re-brand for that market. I very much doubt these are made in the same factories as other Colnagos.

Do you think Michael Rasmussen could drop most people here on their "Racing Bikes" riding the flat bar CF5 above? I would think so

Very nice.
Perhaps some manufacturers are finally realizing that there is a real market for elegant non-racing bikes that are not 40 lbs gas-pipe monstrosities with phony suspension.
