They've already got their own thread.
I want this thread though, more love for anything-but-the-CAAD. :thumbup:

I've always loved the paint on the Colnago Master frames - such artistry and skill.

When looking at frame options I considered carbon - and Ti - but I've never actually ridden a carbon bike and I'm in no hurry to try one. Maybe I don't know what I'm missing out on, but I'm happy with aluminium.

I took these pics on its maiden voyage before I'd notice the saddle had slipped back

Crappy photo again. Red Fulcrum Zeros have now gone in favour of black wheels.

Only the cranks are Tiagra on an otherwise "complete" 105 group. Why waste a perfectly good crank? :D

From the looks on the photo, I'd swear that was one hell of a rusted cassette! :shock:

Recon Ti cassette I believe? :)
