Oh my, not sure this will be my cup of tea, unless I start wearing shiny silver bike shorts with a Robocop jersey. Perhaps it looks different in the flesh, hope so.
Nor mine. I bet the Terminator would love this frame though when he gets back from the future.

I have also seen one traditional geometry C60 and customer who ordered it waited over 7 months for the delivery

Hi Bratz,
Sorry, cant remember exactly which web or forum I got the picture. Anyway, I suggest you contact your local Colnago distributor or even go as far as sending an email to Colnago Customer service to find out more.
Good luck!

@stang1: I think you're right, it's the aesthetics and cohesiveness that isn't quite nailed. The build itself is great technically with a nice setup. But since you asked, what I would do is:
1) lose the tan sidewalls and go with all black tires on this build;
2) try white tape and saddle as I think it would make the whole thing pop a bit more and tie in the white graphics on the frame, since the blue on the frame is a unique color and difficult to tie in with other components (hence use the white to tie it all together);
3) the stem, while nice on its own is not the best color match. The same stem in the normal (blue accents) or even white, may be better. Don't know on that one.

I think it's all the gloss and matte.. Not working well together.. Yes tossing the gum walls as well.

1 Tan sidewalls not a good idea.
2 This saddle... hmmm. Does not look great either.
3 Last but not least (sorry I repeat that each time I see a modern Colnago): a horizontal top tube frame would look much, much better. Way more classy.

All-black glossy wheelset, white saddle and tape like Calnago said...
Although that wheelset is magnificent it doesn't speak the same visual language as the frame...
