almost bought an ovalmaster i don't need just for the paint (did not, because i had one and it was stiffer than i liked)

curious what else folks like

Colnago GEO.

X2 on the Geo paint scheme. I lament the sad and unimaginative Colnago paint schemes of today. What happened?:(

I agree, they used to get knocked for being too busy, and now they're boring as hell. Sad, sad times.

I like that Colnago with the Mediterranean map on it. I dunno what it's called. I think Terry has one. I love wild Colnago paint, but then again I'm from NM so it reminds me of the lowriders.

Yeah that one. You know Terry, next time you have a custom done you should have one of our very talented local guys do the paint, I'm serious about that. Colnago style with chiles, zias, an outline of the Sandias, maybe La Virgen if you are so inclined. Ok, probably not your style but maybe consider the option.

A theme based on La Virgen would be incredibly cool.

Just ordered some chile bar plugs today from Purely Custom, a pepper bike would be fantabulous also.

I have to agree w/ the original post. I used to have a Colnago Ovalmaster 6/4 Ti frame w/ the Mapei scheme. It was the envy over everyone in my hood. I sure do miss her. However, I have a beautiful new baby on the way- a LOOK 595 team edition. Not so bad, eh?

more of a classic understated design, but if you painted it primer grey it would still be one of if not the best bike on the road

I'm glad I got in under the window with a NL-4 paint scheme. It's awesome, and I'll never sell it.
