Bikes of the Bunch :: Colnago C35 Oro

Just before Christmas on one of our weekly “lunch rides” a mate of mine showed up on this stunning Colnago C35 that I’d never seen before.

Bikes Of The Bunch | Spare Parts

Every few years I accumulate enough bits and pieces to create a Frankenbike. It’s a slow process that I manage through donations, replacements and upgrades. Here is my very own “Bikes of the Bunch” five minutes of fame featuring a plethora of spare parts, a few clandestine purchases, and a lot of favors along the […]
