Re: New Colnago Arabesque Build

I have a great LBS that is both a Colnago and Bianchi dealer. My LBS is even going to hook me up with a pantographed signed Colnago vintage seat post from their personal collection to go on the bike. How is that for customer service? :xmas-big-grin:

Re: New Colnago Arabesque Build - Small leap forward

Just got the custom seat and bar tape in from Texas as well as the Athena crank. Slowly moving forward. Nadia at the LBS says frame in by January.

If you can get it for that price, I recommend you jump on it. They are significantly higher elsewhere. I was able to get a similar price, but that was VAT free and the fact that Cambiago is just down the road.

Re: New Colnago Arabesque Build

I would seriously look at this as an investment for the future. At least tell that to the wife. Once those lugs are used up, I believe that's it for the Arabesque and the market will dictate the price from now on. I don't think they will ever go down in value.

Re: The Arabesque has arrived!

Yesterday, Nadia called and said come to the shop and check out my new frame that just arrived. To say I was gobsmacked is an understatement. It is absolutely gorgeous and pictures don't do it justice. Even Mario the master mechanic could say nothing but "ballissimo" about the looks of the frame. I should have all the parts together this week. I will definitely post the pics when complete. Can't wait to get her on the road. The weather here in Italy has been beautiful lately.

Cheers,

Larry
