Fixated's Colnago

Does this bike/write up leave a weird taste in anyone's mouth? Or is it just me....

the stem and the cranks are just plain wrong

irish wheels!

WHAT!!?
Exactly what part of the bike has been designed?
It's messy. I agree with Ed on the cranks and stem and the bars and seat post look hand painted.
Front wheel is tooooo small and I didn't realise Reebok pumps came with SPD"s ;-)
It's all a bit "how good is this bike".
Absolute nonse sense!

...Oh I see....it's for sale!
I wonder how much...

am quite tempted to send that dude an email...
"so it's for sale? seeing that you've ruined a colnago can you take all that crap off i just want the frame, forks and headset."

Hah!

Would you sell just the saddle?

Todd I didn't realise Reebok pumps came with SPD"s ;-)

me neither, you live and learn.

straight off the bike and onto the B/Ball court mo-fo

Don't gimme dat jive!

oh yeah there the new design team, i read about it on trackosaurusrex.
designers from around the world, leaders in there fields etc etc

it really is very wrong

the stem reminds me of the stock one that comes with a fuji track. and i bet it is.

I think someone made a more comfortable bike

form?....function?......prick!

don't beat about the bush aidan, say what you mean man!

.....i know, its like im learning stuff!

He wants £2K for it according to http://velospace.org/node/5981

fc9k.. I saw that ep just the other night.. you are so right!! hahaha!

shame the saddle has a different green, otherwise i think its quite cool

its normal to put a smiley face at the end of a sarcastic comment...

I don't suscribe to this theory.

I think it kind of kills the joke...

then again, it's hard to convey this kind of deadpan humour on the internet...

i was also being sarcastic......i was questioning what kboy had said.because it looks shit!....i really should have put a smiley at the end.

aidan i think lpg may have been excercising sarcasm in his comment. This comment, however, may also be sarcastic. :(

[cite]Moron[/cite]-a one of a kind custom job, The bike was built on a crazy 1980's salmon pink Colnago pursuit frame. Constructed from Columbus SLX steel tubing it is designed for flat-out pace. every part has been hand sourced paying attention to pedigree, performance and of course aesthetic before refinishing, reupholstering and redesigning to make that wild frame pop!

"reupholstering"

By that.. I think he's saying it's running a big gear..

Good luck getting 2k for it. I'd not like to be sitting on that saddle the way it is in the pics.

I'm no designer but in this case the saying "red and green should never be seen.." really should have been used!
