    Awesome bike - really like the different shades of red on the frame. What's the tail on the saddle?

    Thank you. The 'tail' is the Selle SMP label, it's made of fabric and stitched around the saddle frame. I thought about removing it but I quite like it as it's coloured like the Italian flag and suits the bike.

    Think the colour choice took some balls, but the more I look at it the more it looks like you've really hit the jackpot. It really does look a million dollars. Colnagos have never appealed to me aesthetically before, but with your component selection and colour choice, my opinion has totally changed.

    Thanks for posting!

    Thanks Siamon. I know what you mean about the colour choice I would normally have gone for a black or natural carbon bike so choosing a white frame was a bit of risk as I wasn't 100% sure about the colour until it was built up. Not sure it took balls though, it's not the worst choice one might have to make :D .

    How do you ride such a nice bike?

    I'd be afraid of getting a stone chip or something! :shock:

    Looks amazing though.

    Cool, look forward to seeing the pics!

    I've gone for the europcar colours, lime green/matte black. It's funny I heard all these story's about bikes taking ages to arrive from mike at maestro, yet mine only took 10 weeks to arrive!
