This is an interesting interview with Ernesto Colnago:

I like what he has to say about frame design and evolution....

Yup, Ernesto want's your hands and butt out there. His geometry had me confused until I learned that you compensate for the short top tube with a long stem. This places more weight on the front end to quicken the steering since headtube angles on Colnago's are pretty slack. I would need a 14cm stem for a frame that would fit me correctly.

Most people on Colnago's that I've seen have frames that are tooooo large.
