There's one in my size in that colourway at the LBS. Very tempted.

First ride today and i have to say i am impressed.

To be honest like most of you i did not liked the rear brake position. Dificult to setup but works fine.
I think i can used to it after few more days.
The second thing i really don't like is how thin the top tube is,you can press it with your finger,first time to see this in a Colnago frame.But if Ernesto is happy with it...
The paint quality is absolutely perfect
Despite the above this is by far the "fastest frame" that Colnago ever produced.
It is also much stiffer than the C60,C59 and M10 that i had in the past.
I am 83kg and was not able to take this frame even near to its limits.
It picks up speed easily and responds to power with instant acceleration.

Concerning comfort,is comfortable enough but no way like a C60 or a C59.

I had a chance to weigh V1R frame in the shop today.
The frame-set weight was 1,610g including uncut fork & seatpost, and excluding Collage fork-expander which is 47g.
That's around 270-290g less compare to my M10s frame.
