haha- got to love a bit of branding: just in case somebody doesn't know its a Colnago

Probably not for all tastes, but great piece of work IMHO...

That's lovely had it not been for the stupid cheap shite on the bike.

on a track bike I don't think so, road bike (tv cameras!) yes

That would be the nationally televised Track Champs weekend just past then?

Tidy one, built on the Yamaguchi frame-building course.

Look odd and zero rake fork, but I like it.

Zero rake forks are objectively awesome in every way. I brook no discussion about this.

MDCC will back me up on this.*

*Almost definitely a lie.

it wont look very cool when it flexes and the front wheel jams on the downtube sending the rider into the air

Totally depends on how he lands. On his feet, running, arms extended like a plane, and you're saying that isn't cool?

Bullshit. Zero rake posse RECOGNISE

Rider?

0 rake forks are for photo'ing and smugly pushing rizla papers between tyre and down tube.

Why would someone want to ride one?

Toe overlaps are objectively awesome in every way. I brook no discussion about this.

Eh?

Obviously the ugly Paul crankset isn't cheap, and I mistook the hubs for the cheap system ex/amboriso/sjs etc.

Ah, fair enough. Paul chainset doesn't really do it for me either. Otherwise straight up winner!

The bent chainstay and the horrible rim colour isn't for me.

Toe overlaps...
:-P

TOE overlaps? Pedal overlap more likely. How the hell does one ride it?

Strictly in a straight line, I presume.

Ok, but does it barspin?!

the horrible rim colour isn't for me.
They are wood rims from Cerchio Ghisallo.

*"These robust wood rims are artisan made by Antonio Cermenati in Magreglio, Italy. They are constructed of aged Slovenian beechwood, assembled in thin laminations that are joined by 2-part epoxy in a proprietary process that the Cermenati's have been perfecting for over 60 years.

Wheels made with wood rims have an unmistakable liveliness and exceptional shock absorption, yet surprising strength and damage resistance." *
