some vintage colnagos I stumbled upon...



This one's definitely a pursuit, but take a look at that fork/double stem combo! so coooool!



Entirely over-the-top and frankly pretty ugly, but one of the first uses of carbon monocoque technology. Check out them colnago disc wheels too.



Super over the top, but still has discernable top/down tubes - check out the faring over the rear tire



UGggghhhh campy discs.....

Also I watched the Flying Scotsman - a movie about Graeme Obree, a scottish "outsider" track racer who beat Francesco Mosers Hour Record in 1993 (then Chris Boardman's - who beat Obree's record a week later - in 1994) in on a bike made from discarded bmx tubing and washing machine parts, in a super weird riding position that revolutionized cycling twice. I recommend it.
