I love my Storck, but still wonder if I should have figured out how to make the V3 happen.
I love it. It’s not the lightest machine but it handles well and climbs better for me than my Propel.
I got it cheap because it was a trade show bike and had a couple chips in the paint on the down tube where a wheel rubbed it from being in a bike box. It had never been ridden according to the rep because the Di2 had never been connected or was fully functional. A quick call to Colnago assured me that the bike was new and only had travel/box wear. They warranted it for 3 years.
The paint chips were a $2400 discount on the price and the dealer set it up and fitted it. In fact, they did such a good job that I’ve done zero adjustments to the setup or the fit in the 1200 miles that I’ve ridden it and I’m known to be picky about my fit.
