I straddle both worlds.

My Carbon Fiber Colnago has a distinctive vintage look.

And I still have the very vintage Colnago.



I must admit that I really like riding the new ride. It just feels right.

I don't wear the fancy jerseys, and don't always go fast, but there are those moments when I can make it move quickly.
