    thank you for putting that pic up rozzer, my limited IT skills wouldn't allow me to do that!

    its a 52 sloping glasgowbhoy, usually ride a 56 traditional, this is effectively the exact same size. I also agree the black and white ones are very nice too! What i particularly like on this one is the contrast from the lime green to the matte black.

    I love that colour scheme, if I hadn't have fallen in love with my C59 150th, then I would have gone for this colour.

    I also have a CX1 in the matt, but it's a bugger to keep clean, how do you manage it?

    I keep coming back to this page. I really shouldn't....

    I think Declan sums it up perfectly - My reaction suggested to my wife that I was looking at something online that I really, really should not have been....!

    Looks really nice. That frame looks even better in the flesh, the green really pops out.

    How are you enjoying the frame and wheels?
  • joe.90

    initial impressions of the frame is that its really smooth! feels very fast and agile.

    I havent rode much with the wheels, but first impressions are good, very good on braking, im hoping the bearings will bed in a little bit as they dont roll as smooth as my corima aero +'s.

    Beauty of a Frame/Bike Joe - How did you find Mike to deal with ? A lot of the windwave colnago dealers dont like him as he undercuts them. Bought 2 colnago's & a ciocc from him and have been great. Get yourself a set of Vittoria or Veloflex Gumwall tyres the bike deserves it 8) This makes my Colnago Saronni look old...enjoy.

    Mikes a top bloke. The amount of bullshit floating around about him is unreal. I will say to anyone to ignore it all as he is as genuine a bloke you will get. Tells is how it exactly how it is, which Is refreshing! In terms of waiting time It's more based on when you order. If your ordered at the start of the season your gonna be waiting a long time, but end of season not at all. The factory now processes orders throughout August now, ready for production when they start up again in September...which has apparently speeded the process up.

    Thanks for the suggestion with the tyres, il have a look at them!

    Its 2012, I ordered the bike mid July, they stopped taking orders for this colour scheme sometime in August and switched to all the 2013 colours. Which was pretty lucky as I particularly wanted this colour.

    Glasgowbhoy i haven't got round to it yet mate, but I haven't forgot. il message you when I've done it.

    Yeah sometimes a frame can take a few months to order and he always says it could take longer. Best time to order a frame is about this time of year. Does mike still have his shop in Bognor or do you have to collect the bikes from his house now ? . He must be doing something right as he's had adverts in various cycling mags since i started 30 years ago.
