A lot of thought and patience--and some luck--enabled me get the frame and most of the parts this year. I had initially wanted a traditional top tube Colnago C60, and quite frankly I still do; but since I was starting from scratch, I couldn't justify all parts, wheels, etc. on top of the frame price. Secondly, none of the colour schemes really spoke to me. The Art Deco schemes are beautiful but almost a little too subdued for me. Suits are grey or dark blue, cars are usually the same or white or black.. So I prefer a splash of vibrant colour in my bikes.
Anyway, this is not to take away from the Cipollini, as I am 100% in love with it in every way! Merely a round about way of explaining to those on here who know why--despite my love of Colnago--I got a different Made in Italy frame. Without further ado:
