Agreed. I'm sure it is even more beautiful in person. Sure would put that frame to good use.

That looks great.
Mike @ Maestro has had one on his webpage for some time.

Love that Mapei.

^ Is the paint the same as PLAN just with Colnago in red font instead of black?

No, PLAN is an anthracite-like gunmetal grey. This new one (PLCV) is more like a primer grey, similar to the C60s UAE have been riding in the Tour but with red down tube font instead of white:

I see Colnago's website has been updated with these 2 new colour schemes.
Hmmm.... I was hoping for a little more tbh. The UAE team colours look smart and the Mapei scheme, well, I understand the appeal but it doesn't float my boat.
I was hoping for some brighter colour schemes for 2018 really.

Thank you. In that picture it is much easier to see that PLCV is a much lighter grey then the PLAN.
