It's all about MONEY$$$ But then he has been after one of EDDYs old>>>>>>CO LNAGO built bikes! Through the grape vine this info came to me. On another note, when purchasing a batch of CHESINI framesets from FRANK Hoste, fo rmer SUPER CONFLEX / DEL TONGO team member! I asked, during your days wit h DEL TONGO, did they pay you well? His reply, I only rode for them! Th e mafia man paid me direct! I asked who's the MAFIA man? He said ERNESTO! On another note: While doing business out of HOLLAND, I was listing COLNA GO framesets on ebay! One day ebay pulled all of my COLNAGO listings off of ebay for the U.S.A>>>>>VRO program. I then contacted the then distributor for the U.S! I told them fine, you can pull these listings but you cannot stop me from selling COLNAGO on my web-site, formerly RENAISSANCE CYCLES ! I told them I will seek out all of the older stocks of COLNAGO here in HO LLAND & BELGIUM! And there was a lot! I know of hundreds and hundreds of fr ameset, shops owners are offering their complete older COLNAGO stocks to us. In fact I do remember purchasing 4 or 5 framesets from one dealer on th e day of my pulled ebay listings. I told them, OLDER stocks are everywher e I go! 6 here 3 there then 8 or 9 here and there, I can get these things for cheap! From my web-site I will flood the U.S market with these cheap f ramesets, thus killing ( putting a dent in your U.S sales ). I can scoop up these framesets and go from there. I waited for a day or 2 for a reply , nothing. I then contacted them again via email>>>>>>>>.No reply. All 4 OR 5 framesets were relisted and sold. Not some wild hair story, Cecile w as there rolling her eyes as I was blasting off these emails to them. July of that year, we sold 70 plus COLNAGOs. Just another day on the job.
