ewep Posted March 4, 2008 Author Posted March 4, 2008 Nice bike Mate .... Where do you bolt the ice-box on? :-) It's looking great PeeWee. Not bolt on. I had a special Venter built for the application. No, thank you Engelsman, for selling it!
GreyOwl Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 I've said it before, and I'll say it again... Colnago is the bike God rides on sundays. End of discussion. Everyone else just wishes they'd bought a Colnago. Am I right Delgado?! Cambiago, Modena...its the same righteous heritage!
AndreZA Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 EWEP...Whats it like' date=' knowing that as a Colnago owner, you are more superior than any other bikey?! It matters not how fast you climb, or how far you can ride...at the end of the day, you own a Colnago. And a damn fine Colnago at that. I salute you...[/quote']GO, it's the BEST feeling, pitching up at a ride, knowing my bike was handmade, in an Italian factory steeped in tradition, on 1 "assembly line" and then given the approval by adding Ernesto's signature. Then sitting on the bike, knowing it was handpainted (no robots invoved!) and that my bike is number 576. EISH, it's like owning a Bentley. If you don't have one, you won't know what a masterpiece it REALLY is! The tubing 10 to 1 came from America. The "hand paintedness" came from a spraygun not a brush and was powered by a machine that was made in Taiwan. The airbrush that was used also came from Taiwan as it's only them and Americans that makes them. Cliff from Cycleart just left here and he showed me a repainted Colnago and it looked just like it came out of an Italian factory painted by an Italian craftsman not V-town painted by a rooinek .

'para, actually not. The small "boxes", the Mapei logo and the Ernesto signature is done by hand! The rest, I concure, is spray painted. As for where the tubing comes from, who cares!!! It was built in Italy. O ja, and NO recalls on Colnagos built in Italy, EVER!
GreyOwl Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 Preach it EWEP!! Face it...Colnago is the shiznitz...

Spinnekop Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 Thanks WW' date=' I'll take that as a compliment!!! (You see Spidey, people do like me!)[/quote'] But WW is nice.....just like your mom.

GreyOwl Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 True Holy, he rests on sundays because of the Colnago! To explain the relevance of a Colnago in a heathen world, one must fully understand the importance of the Creation itself! It, like Colnago was divinly inspired!

I am always amazed at the analysis of cyclists trying to justify why they don't ride top of the range hand made bikes with state of the art groupsets. Just admit it!!!!! if you can't have the best you need to settle for the rest, and live for the moment that one day you might own one of these.After all you surely don't believe you will be a mampara all your life!!!!!!
Haga Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 Hey Ewep Nice ride buddy, now all you need is a Pinarrelo sticker to cover that Graffiti, and it' will be extra fast. Enjoy & many happy chamois hours. D

GreyOwl Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 Ok...watch this. (I'm sorry EWEP, not trying a hijack, just proving a Colnago point) This is genuine, so treat it as such please! I have a Colnago C35 frame & fork 56cm. Never ridden, or even built up. It is Ferrari red, with the official Ferrari decals. Its a display piece in my house. I am considering selling it, albeit is a very VERY rare Colnago. Any offers? (Genuine!)
