It is the first time that I have heard about them. It is quite excellent bike. It is better that the one that Generic Viagra sponsored.

Unfortunately, no one has yet to pick Velocity Yellow, although we recently did a CJ in a similar paint scheme in Velocity Yellow and matte black.

Brian built himself a proto-type cross version last week fro the upcoming Rapha Gentlemen's Race, so stay tuned for pics.

I have this frame in person at NYC Velo- the finest shop- and I have to say i am really impressed by it… pictures do not lie but they do not give the significance of the workmanship. While I have never been a fan of the mixed material bike, this frame raises the bar with all the details. Now I just want one sans carbon- all Ti version?

Wow, lots of vitriol just over the question of color and disapointment over lack of choices.

Evidently colors= fighting words.

Colnago Cross,

Why the concern about our quality? There seems to be some underlying assumption that we are moving in the wrong direction, and nothing could be farther from reality.

Please help me understand what's behind the concern.

As for the decision to offer the tiFLW as a limited edition, that's complicated, and mostly explained by the desire to have the brand demonstrate a stronger point of view about who we are through this model. The other reality is that many of the raw materials for this bike are difficult to come by, so it may end up being a limited run regardless of our desires.

Hope that helps.

Indy Fab,

You are right that I do own a few Italian bikes from before I started buying IFs. I was exteremely dissapointed in the quality of my C-50 that used cheap aluminum cable stops etc that corroded very quickly. That's why I replaced it with a quality American Made IF! I see the same potential problem with IF going forward. Let me ask, a question, why limit the paint on that bike if you offer options on all the others?

My initial comments were probably more out of frustration than anything else. I would really like to have a TiFLW but NOT in that paint scheme. Oh well, can't complain too much, life on an SSR is pretty darn good.

I just wish I could afford one.

ColnagoCross,

One model with a limited paint scheme and "only" 30 possible color combinations... yeah, we're dead, oh the drama...

From your name it sounds like you're already riding an Asian sourced bike, so why bother coming here to bring the hate?

FWIW, we painted the Colorado license plate on a bike this week.
