Colnago Dream

Not mine. Yet...

Just been out on my mate's Dream. I absolutely loved it. He's hardly ever ridden it, I'm hoping to buy it off him. The running gear needs a fair bit of sorting but the paint.... No picture could ever do it justice!

I'm hoping to get it then build it up with Record 11, Deda kit and maybe some shamals.

If I capture the bike I'll update as it goes. Watch this space...

    My eyes, my eyes - they burn :lol:

    I'm sure it's beautifully done but that is one fugly paintjob even by Colnago standards!

    It isn't in the flesh. It's the best I've seen! The bit with Italy is done in the tricoloure :)

    It's all hand air brushed with metallic orange and blue. It is a work of art!

    I think you either love it or hate it. I love it, exactly as a Colnago should be totally OTT :-)

    Well take some better pics when you've worked it over and meanwhile I'll look for my sunglasses!

    I think the frame looks lovely - I really like the colour scheme. The kit is letting it down a little though.

    Lovely. Get it.

    I grew up round that neck of the woods so if I see you when I'm cycling up near my parents, I'll kick you into a ditch and make off with your steed :wink:

    thats close to one of my dream builds as well! In fact i've started surveying around for new old stock parts.

    My grandfather being one of the founders of the early Rabobank, it has some personal connection too!
