Saw this Master on eBay--$15k gets you gold plating and panto'd parts.

"FREE Economy Shipping"

There was a time when I would've scoffed, groaned, mocked. But, with what modern carbon artifacts sell for this doesn't look unreasonable. It's at least beautiful.

He does need to tighten it up on the cabling though. That rear brake cable is way to long and ATMO connected to the wrong lever.

At least he is giving free shipping, some sellers for 20k are asking like 200 more for shipping :)

Hope goes to a good collector. The bike is so nice that doesnt deserve anything else than going to a museum or to a collector just for showing.

That gold-accented Colnago is very classy, thereby automatically classifying it within the "too rich for my blood" category for wanted bikes. I am guilty of replacing my chain with a gold KMC and it made my white Serrota stand out when biking through the hood.

Well, if you wanna nitpick about the cable length, I'd suggest they use the aero-routing that is an option with those particular levers. And about the rear brake to right lever routing - is that not the most common setup? I know some folks prefer it that way, but I don't think I've ever met any of them.

But the wee ramps weren't plated gold-so fail.
