Followed someone on a Colnago on Tuesday

[JamesM]

Going out of Leeds not long after 5 on Tuesday afternoon, a guy pulled up alongside me at the lights on a Colnago (I forget the model). Is that a common brand? It's not one I'd heard of before. Looked like quite a nice bike.

I managed to keep up with him on my trusty Specialized CrossTrail Sport until I turned off at Kirkstall but I don't think I'd have been that fast without the tow! (Quite a windy ride on Tuesday - took me longer than it has since I was going almost exclusively on the canal tow path...)

Common as muck. It didn't have a really ugly seatpost bag on it, did it?

No, I'm fairly certain it didn't.

They make some very high end road bikes as well as some pretty ordinary ones. Generally lovely looking though you pay a lot for the Italian name.

The also make one of the nicest looking steel frames you can buy new:
