Actually the frame is cool... just imagine it without those wheels!

The butterflies on the wheels are going to get really dizzy.

I like the frame but not the handlebars or wheels with it - overkill. And didja see how low the handlebars are vis-a-vis the saddle? Ouch!!![]()

I kinda like the frame itself too. Imagine it with a black handlebar and plain wheels, maybe a black fork, too. I'm not much for girly-girl stuff either, but I do like the green foliage and butterflies--they're so beautifully painted--it's just way too much with them on the bars and wheels and the fork.
Doesn't matter though--I'm a few Euros short of the asking price.![]()

I'd feel a little like the Walt Disney Snow White riding that. Like birds were going to come land on my hand and we'd sing to one another.

Girly is for me! I think it is beautiful. The wheels and handlebars are a bit of overkill, but the frame is gorgeous. I am guessing this is the type of bike one would collect, not ride? Having the bike fitted by Ernesto Colnago would be worth the price.![]()

Even if I did have the money to add another Colnago to my collection of one this would not be my choice. Now the Leonardo President is a different story.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
