After last night's "awesome" post and super lame day(yes hanging around football all day was getting boring after a while), I got some great news today from the shop. As of today Creekside Bikes is the newest Colnago dealer in the state. That makes us 1 of, I believe, 4 dealers in the Denver Metro area. The initial stocking order has been placed, and we should be seeing the bike rolling in towards the end of next week.
The coolest part is that we're getting a World Cup CX frame in to build! Its a 2011 model since the 2012's arent ready yet. The key differences in the 2011 model and the 2012's will be the rear end spacing. Last year's is the standard 130mm road spacing sans disc tabs. The new 2012 will be 135mm spaced and will come with disc tabs ready to go.
The downside to all the new disc ready cross frames will be the ones like this that come 135mm in the rear. If you have an older bike, you wont be able to swap wheels out with the new frames. Overall, Im glad to see disc here and personally hope it stays.

We're also getting a new SRAM Red 2012 group in to build one of the Colnago's with. Stay tuned for pics on all of them. Please know this...Colnago's arent super crazy pricey like most people assume. Understandable that there's the assumption they are...afterall its one of the great pedigrees of bikes around the world. However if you compare to Pinarello and Merckx, they are right in there. Just a lil FYI...
Stay tuned!
...boots out.
