with my old group. One of the guys had a 1 year old Colnago Technos,
multishaped lugged Columbus steel with fancy chromed cutout lugs, chromed
fork & stays. I didn't think any of the big makers made bikes like this
anymore, but then, I don't pay a lot of attention to the modern offerings
since so many have gone away from lugged steel. It was quite a nice looking
bike, but I did notice that they air brushed the lug edges instead of fine
pinstriping. Otherwise, it would pass nicely for a classic. Lou Deeter,
