what's it for?

i love [strike]everything about this. But not the saddle so much.[/strike]

reeeeeeepost

Ugly saddle for this bike
Strange colours thingies at head set / stem
Chain will come off at front
Retroflection stripes in the tyres don't make the bike street legal

Nice picture though.
But put a spade under the front tyre... ;)

Care to explain, pardon my ignorance.

Some Euro countries permit "Reflex" tyres to be used instead of spoke reflectors. Doesn't apply to UK, where spoke reflectors are not required.

Portugal requires reflectors, didn't make the association with the tires, my fail.
Thanks MC_Tester.

"The Colnago Concept was a radical new idea that failed largely because it was too heavy. The bike was developed with help from Enzo Ferrari. Its various innovations included three spoke carbon wheels, hydraulic brakes, and of course the transmission. The transmission was contained just below the teeth of the chain ring. "The transmission was enclosed in a light alloy chain guard shaped to fit closely around the chain rings. From the outside the chain guard didn't rotate at the same speed as the pedal spindle as the gear ratios were obtained from a series of smaller cogs contained within the chain guard."

pretty sweet, huh!

On that last Colnago what is the switch next to his head on the down tube? A joke??

looks like the gear shifter, also the brakes look to be hydraulic, see the banjo connection to the caliper and those brake levers look like they have a reservoir for fluid just above the actual lever, thats just crazy and stupid enough to be a bit cool

Its a gear shifter - the gear mechanism is contained within the chainset

the gear ratio on the ferrarinago is pretty harsh for what looks like a street(2 brakes)/training bike?

Read the post properly, there is a reduction gear in the chainset.

^just seen the shifter, they lifted it straight from a miniature ferrari by the looks of things.

Possibly from a 1960s car, but 1988 Ferraris (e.g. 328GTB, 512TR) had open metal gates
