Notes:

I couldn't ride the other one, just hung it on the wall to have more beauty around me :-D. But what a pain owning such a nice bike only for "saving it" ...
So there was only one solution: I had to get another one [hehe].
This Colnago is painted in the later dark wine red with the internal color code "PR82". Special features: number hanger below the top tube, three top tube cable guides.
I built it to ride around town, kind of my Colnago city bike :-).
Very individual setup in the details, nearly everything has been customized and is well documented - stealing this one would be like sitting on a powder keg.

Like the new photos, especially that first lead-off sample that really
highlight the geometry and build of that Colnago. Though a larger
frame, that angle and backdrop really highlight that beast. Well-done!
Even though the Colnago was up and down with build quality after the
70s, there is no denying the pull of this bike. I'd love to have one, too.

I have to admit, as individual as the bike is, if I was walking by and saw it, I'd be visualizing get-away routes! Great job, especially on keeping it ridden.

OOPS!

I thought I'd have to protect it from the bike thiefs, not from the bike connoisseurs ;-D
(and then there's the lock anyway ... still, I'm a bit nervous in the prospect of leaving it unattended).
edit: - You're probably right, I should use another bike for lock-up instances.
