Stratton,

Thanks for outing these bikes. The Pogliaghi REALLY blows my dress up! My size and everything. Looks like a beauty and the color is the same "electric blue" that Colnago used. I hope Paulie can land this one. Needless to say I'm not going to be bidding; but if I were in a position to stick my neck out you'd see me stretch like Rubber Man.

Never mind what I just said. The bike is crap. Stay away ;-)!
