Colnago Dream

So I decided that rather than spend $3-4k on a new bike, I'd assemble one for a quarter of that cost. I've been riding a Fuji Team I picked up at Performance Bike for $1000 a little over 2 years ago. Its been a great bike,but I feel like I've outgrown it after 5k or so miles. I listed it on my buddy Craig's website for $750 and generated a lot of inquiry but nothing legit. I also had a guy who said he'd give me $650 if I could wait a few months. I decided to throw it on Ebay with a BIN of $850. Some dude in Cali scooped it up 19 MINUTES after I listed it. No Shit.

Let me say now that I enjoy searching for deals online. This usually involves taking advantage of people who either don't know what they have or are desperate for $$$. Long story short, I started assembling the pieces for my perfect bike.
