Well im another step closer to building my dream machine.I was recently cotemplating on buying a fondriest status carb frame/forks but after doing more looking around ive found the one that i remember drooling over when i was at school.See my freind was a cycling enthusiast then and ill never forget looking at it for the first time(it was beautiful) it was a colnago frame with all the top gear on it at that time and my thoughts then were that ill never get the chance of owning something like it.My dad and i run a painting and decorating business together now and we work very hard (especially when we want something new )so consequently ive been saving hard too.(basically im trying to say i think i deserve it)....yeah i do....i know i do....dont i???I have bought mavic kserium sl wheels and yesterday bought a colnago dream frame and forks and i think its beautiful(to look at anyway,because i havnt ridden it yet)the paint job is a work of art(nearly as good as i can do it )and its just different from anything ive seen.Im sure there are other lovely bikes out there but i had to share my excitement with someone.I was up untill after midnight just looking at it...touching it...stroking it(im sure u all know where im coming from)we watched tv together and then went to bed(bike not in the bed) .Can anyone tell me 1st hand how it rides??I love cycling and i think its a great thing if we can have a bike that excites us when we think of riding it when the snow disappears!roll on summer.Oh but ive got to save more now cos im skint,dry,no more money.Have opted for dura ace groupset but im now a little worried if it will be ok to put on this frame.What do you think?does it really really matter if its not campy??Is it an insult to colnago to put shimano on it!?Too late now rly cos my wheels are for shimano!Make me feel more at ease please!Anyway im going on my bike now because the sooner i get back the sooner i can look at my frame again.Thanks for reading!
