that's better. the logos on that bike are not nearly as in your face.

Sorry about that.

I'm phoning Santy on eeeee and Raam over this, see how you guys like your lumps of coal Christmas morning.

magicbastarder

at least we can't see any details of Raam's hob in that photo, so we can't argue over that.

^^^ dream bike there!

letape

eeeee

Glorious.
And I don't even like pink

The pink one's a babe. The new one is a stunning frame and build ruined utterly by Colnago's dodgy new typeface. Specifically the upper case A and the variation in stroke thickness. It changed, what, two years ago? How have they not changed it again. It is destroying that bike.

they probably brought some marketing firm in who told them 'oh, you need to refresh your brand'. because no marketing firm makes money from telling a customer 'oh your brand is strong, well recognised, and has history, so best leave well alone'.
so instead they tell them to go with a bland, blocky sans serif font.

It's such a disgracefully crude type. That frame... beautiful lugs and top notch craftsmanship with a type that resembles that used by a pre-teen making a poster for their school jumble sale. Unforgiveable and impossible to see beyond.

^^^ I like the blue. Very similar build though.

Hit or miss?

magicbastarder

The stem and seat post matching the frame is ott. Lovely otherwise.

Spoke pattern on the wheels triggering me again

I don't mind the spokes....it's the disc brakes that ruin it for me!

eeeee

Lovely.
Pity the seatpost and stem and maybe the chainstays aren't gold. That'd definitely improve it.
Or turquoise and yellow, 90's bomber jacket style. That'd be deadly.
It lacks logos :P

Put more colour on the colour

Hit if you could find kit to wear that wouldn't horrendously clash.

Except for the fork, completely ..............agricultural ............that ruins it

Raam

Yeah yeah, I know, some of you don't like letters.

cletus

I think I'd object more to the red seat post

The frame is beautiful as but not so much the rest of it. I rarely object to discs but the callipers really stick out there and the spokes!!!!!!!

The spokes? Lad, those are Lightweights!

Despite the lack of logos it's gorge.

ETA probably best without given the Lightweight logo.
