I agree with you that it is a good looking well-balanced day to day bike and you are absolutely right that not all Colnagos are exactly fabulous (sorry, Saarf). I'm also with you on DI2, I don't get why people want to make their machinery marginally uglier and heavier for no real advantage over mechanical shifting (presuming they have working fingers and thumbs).
Bike porn is a matter of opinion, what is extraordinary for one person is a pig with nice paint for another. Nobody has the right to be right, for instance, I think pro bikes are almost always just functional and single speed off-roaders are bloody pointless, which makes me wrong.....
I also agree with TRAs views on his own bike, he does have a right to them!
Carry on posting, vive la difference!

Well, I chose to post it according to some standards of mine (maybe mistaken) and because it is not another de rigueur Colnago or DI2 equipped carbon bike. I just like the way each detail works spot on (again subjectively) and that it is a fairly modern bike but following the classy standards.
There are a lot of functional bike examples just on the last 5 pages so don't know why this or the fact that it could be built for a grand (like it's chips) discredit it from being posted here.
Anyway, back to the anonimity in this thread, will continue to watch all the same bikes with different decals carefully! :)
