OK, what I wrote was way overstated, opinionated, confrontational, biased, ill-thought-out. To those of you who love your late-model De Rosas and Colnagos (and every other brand I slighted by implication), I apologize.

Those brands maintain a consistently high level of framebuilding excellence that, even if I'm right that it's not as good as it once was, is better than most in the world. And they still have their unique style.

And it's unfair of me to slam Colnago for what the guy in the video says - what he says has nothing to do with the craftmanship or the ride, and I'm only reacting to the (probably bad) translation anyway - I'm sure it sounded better in Italian.

I still don't like carousels though...
