ewep Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 Lowracer, read your last post and explain please!
Delgado Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 The Giant factory manufactures more frames per day than Colnago Italy do per year!! Delgado2008-01-15 00:37:55
dirtrider Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 But we all know the italians are a bit slow !
AndreZA Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 The Giant factory manufactures more frames per day than Colnago Italy do per year!! It's because they sleep half the time.
E1A104 Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 Yip, more sleep and no sweatshop conditions would account for the lower output of the Colnago factory.
lowracer Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 Based on a quick search, colnago produced about 13500 bikes in 2004 compare this to only about 500 pegorettis that are produced a year. This will include a huge percentage of custom fits. ewep, I am not saying it is "bad" or "the individual bikes dont get the personal attention" just that it will skew the results. (in a way, it will even be good as the quality control might be way better than a single builder on his own) as far as I know, all of my daccordis are stock standard and not custom fit
Delgado Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 Yip' date=' more sleep and no sweatshop conditions would account for the lower output of the Colnago factory.[/quote'] Ah Hum!!! Handmade v's those pesky contraptions with pseudo arms old boy!!!
AndreZA Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 Do you know whose frame I would like, Bill Lange. He is/was a local guy that build the De 'Lange bikes. Beautifull steel rigs. If you ever get a chance to look at Hannes Koekemoer's black 735 tubing one.
ewep Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 Agreed lowracer, but what do you pay for a Pegoretti?
MAESTRO's Posted January 15, 2008 Author Posted January 15, 2008 Agreed lowracer, but what do you pay for a Pegoretti? The Pegoretti prices range from about R10.000- R18000 frame only.Waiting time 6-9 monthsDario builds about 500 frames a year. Waited about 7 months for mine.......well worth the wait.
Sabre484 Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 Colnago has got beautiful paintjobs....I have seen a few at the club...LOVELY
racman Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 I think someone is multiple voting on the Pinarello
lowracer Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 I think someone is multiple voting on the Pinarello uhm possibly on both the colnago and pinarello... there are way more votes on there than there are people even wanting a colnago or pinarello. There are only 3350 members of which a lot is inactive.

There are only 3350 members of which a lot is inactive. NOPE, EVERYONE knows that they want to ride a Colnago.
racman Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 There we go - my work is done now. I will move on and solve the next case !!!!
