slopers only look good from the right side IMHO.......

Also I think Slopers look better with inline(straight seatposts) whereas horizontal TT look better with setback seatposts. (yeah I know use whatever provides the correct fit, but we're talking aesthetics here)

interestingly I note the new De Rosa Idol has gone from a radically sloped(well curved actually) look, to a horizontal TT.

Ignore the negativity. The only challenge is the red on the wheels. I had the same issue on a previous bike. If there is yellow on the frame you have to stay away from red logos. Somebody photoshop in some Cosmic Carbones with yellow decals or just no decal wheels and you will have a wicked looking machine. If the floro decals don't work then white or stealth will work.

Roobay,

I'm surprised by all the negative comments, i think it looks amazing...true i do prefer traditional Colnagos and perhaps yellow decals will look better, but this sloping Colnago looks great, and I believe that doing anything aftermarket to Boras is akin to pollution. Be sure to post pics when you've sorted your position on the bike.

BTW, will be interesting to hear a report of the Garmin (particularly the touch screen) on wet, dirty days....

Cheers

i like it. i would change the colour of the wheels, but you are doing that so meh.

can you please measure the actual length of the head tube (not including either of the conical spacers).
pleaaasee????

What about "ULTRA two" decals in flashy yellow color?

i think it looks great as it is, but the colour coding on the wheels would then take it that one step further to special

I've had both sloping and non sloping Colnagos. They ride the same, just sayin.

the guys doing the decals have sent me a colour check along with a graded tint version to go along with the tinted gray to white campanolo logo
Clour seems to be ok, not sure about the graded tint logo though








Any thoughts?
cheers

WW for me was always going that extra step from just a bike that could be purchased from a shop
i think its great but decals will then smash it up!!
