My "new" Brevet Bike

[8bit]

That's PURTY. And not just because I'm staring at the Record shifters, I swear. You'll have to tell us how the hub and lights work out, because I'm tempted to use the local bike store's wheelbuilding classes as a chance to put one into the tandem.

Now you need some red or blue tires!

Looks very cool.

Notice how the 3rd pic looks like 2 big eyes, wheel is a nose and bars are hair and ears?

WOW what a beauty. The lights look fabulous. Have you had a chance to check them out at night??

What model Col is that?? CT-2??

You are a lucky girl. I wish Colnago still had a Titanium model (LOL not like I could get one even if they did).

Now I just need to see it in person so I can really oggle it.

I have not yet had it out at night. I plan to start doing a ride or 2 in the early (dark) morning during the week so that should help me test the lights.

The Colnago is an Ovalmaster. They don't make them anymore. It has an ovalized down tube and the top tube is also shaped - like a diamond with the sides pushed in. I got it almost 6 years ago. It's seen a lot of miles. It's Campy record 9 speed with the racing T triple crank (because that was before Campy made a record triple - and now I hear they've stopped making them again!). Since it's just a 9 speed and I know that I will need a SUPER granny gear for long brevets, I plan to get a smaller ring on my triple. I spent an inordinate amount of time in my granny gear, on the flats mind you, during the 600k last year.
