DJRs Colnago C40 Project (2016) The spark: Sometime in 2015 I noted that my youngest D (15 years old) suddenly started eating like a whole cycling team. Just about an entire loaf of bread, a bag full of apples and 2 litres of milk would disappear in one go! Then, the next morning, I could swear that he had grown four fingers taller! New shoes and pants lasted no more than a few months and he was outgrowing his bike at an alarming rate! Luckily, there were also some positives! Yes, his next bike size would be exactly my own and I already knew how to go about solving that little problem! Give him my bike and get a new one for myself! What a beautifully simple and elegant solution! On top of that, my wife, his mother, minister of Home Affairs and Finances, voted for it too! (As long as she could buy shoes without us boys asking uncomfortable questions.)
