Rob,

Great series of photos (taken by Christine I assume) of all of the Colna go proceedings. You have some really cool collectors items in addition t o that. I really think Ernesto what having a good time during the whole event.

I particularly like the photo of me sitting in our booth with my track f rame in the foreground. The one that looks like my head is sitting on to p of the headset of the frame! ;-)

I know Matt Gorski has some more photos of the dinner and book signing a nd some of Ernesto's' visit to our booths. I believe he also got some ph otos of the local color at the event. It was a great day for sure. Looki ng forward to next year. I wonder if Ernesto is going to make a habit of showing up. He is personal friends with one of the people who organized the event. But I understand he was in the States because they are setti ng up "Colnago USA" in Chicago to distribute Colnago bikes in the US.

Great write up on the Gran Fondo from Brian. To follow up, here are some photos covering the event.

http://www.wooljersey.com/gallery/robozoner/GranFondo/ Ernesto was scheduled to be at several locations during the week,

I had a visit with him Friday at a local bike shop where he enjoyed seei ng my early 70's Super frame and signing it. On Saturday he was at pre-registration and I had more items for him to sign. He really got a kick from the Colnago box model and checked out a ll the detail parts before signing the box. On Sunday we participated in the ride and after we visited the great displays of the vintage bikes. Quite a weekend of Colnago overload.
