I have this ^^^ (just measly Ultegra, but still). Awesome frame, horrid paint, and deserves whatever abuse I dole out to it. I never, ever type in all caps, but here goes-- IT'S JUST A BICYCLE. MADE BY SOMEBODY, SOMEWHERE. IT IS NOT A MAGIC TOTEM! FOR THE LOVE OF CHRIST STOP FETISHIZING SH*T OR I'M GOING TO PUT A GOD DANG COASTER BRAKE AND BUM BARS ON MY COLNAGO AND RIDE OVER TO YOUR HOUSE AND MAKE YOU LOOK AT IT.
Thank you.

:bday:

Bum Bars
 

I'd ride a Colnago with bum bars no coaster brake.

andy, it took me a second before realizing that someone had the same frame/saddle/framepad setup you've got.
then i realized it was yours.
pretty pretty pretty...

that'd be hot. not what i'd do with it, but :beer: to ya.

and nothin measly about ultegra.

I'm all for conversions, but **** I gotta agree with evanyc. I think that Colnago conversion is straight up a shame. Even if its not a "nice" colnago, outfit it with Campy Chorus and have a sweet road bike.

Someone please braze a derailleur hanger onto a "not so nice" Colnago Pista, drill it for brakes, and turn it into a road bike so we can hear you guys crying bloody murder.

edit: damn, late to the party again.

dan - i love that bike.

now back to colnagos... whose bike is this:
http://static.flickr.com/120/255009760_7a430fa99f.jpg

thats my friend chris'

i believe it has different cranks and wheels now. (c-record on both counts). a different seatpost, too. cant tell from that photo but it has the oh so sick square tubing...

nice. yeah, on his flickr account he said it was gonna get all italian parts. sooo hot.

hes got a matching road bike, too. that bastard. haha.

gorgeous

Damn you Dan C. What happened to your GTB?

you raced our 666 race!

I probably drew an upside down cross on your forehead, and had a bag full of deicide until 4am.

translating internet to real life is hard with all these screen name **** and whatnot.

Heh.. saw this on Oink, sans rack.

that bike has a wonderful patina.

An adjustable stem makes riding my fixed gear bike so much more comfortable. I'm surprised I don't see more of them on bikes posted here.

We are slaves to fashion. What is this "comfort" you speak of?

its because if you really jam down on them then they tend to shift out of place

i think this looks pretty sick

I especially like that it is sitting right up against a freshly painted wall, probably still drying.

ok, i know i am way late to this, but i have to say it

i love iro's and i have no idea why everyone who has one builds it up to be absolutely hideous. never mind how nice your components are, i'm talking purely about aesthetics.

and i am pumped because HERE IS A DUDE WHO GETS IT! pretty much the only iro someone has posted in recent memory that wasn't gross.

Yeah that thing looks dope as hell
Maybe not the most comfortable position but...... Style over comfort any day
