    They look great until the first spin in the rain. I put some on my bike in November, they’ve looked filthy all winter.

    Seatpost and stem a step too far maybe???? I'll forget I even saw the front derailleur and enjoy what is a lovely bike!!!!!!

    EDIT: Are there any of the other big bike manufacturers making lugged frames these days? Can't think of one.

    While talking about questionable Colnago's.........what's worse that a bike with a disc, a bike with two?

    Behold the Colnago v3rs-dv ("double ventoux")

    Hard to see this as anything beautiful, so probably not the right thread...

    this house proposes the motion that bikes look better with smaller frames.

    Then your house is incorrect.

    I don't mean super big frames. All bikes look best in their M/L sizing. Anything Between 54 and 58cm, frame dependent.

    that *does* seem to be a tiny frame on that colnago. one size up would be the sweet spot, i suspect.

    Probably not to everyone's taste but my son appeared with this today not having been on a bike in almost 20 years. It's a Schindelhauer city bike with a belt drive and a fairly well concealed electric motor in the rear hub. Lots of other nice details too. Hope to go out for a spin with him next week, something I'd almost given up on ever happening again :D

    New wheels for my long time cinq á sept. :) Cassette installation pending freehub swop.

    A relic of the past now really with only 10 speeds and rim brakes so it barely functions as a bicycle in the real world and it's missing that extra 3kg of aero-solidity of the modern superbike. :pac:

    Looks nice though :)
