what do you guys think of this? It's much more expensive than their regular C68 Ti offering but I think it really does scream premium everywhere, if you had an extra 20K USD just for the frame would you pull the trigger on something like this?

what are your thoughts?

Another marketing gimmick. Most of those bikes will be bought by those who merely want to resell or collect. They are not really built with the intent of riding them; and those that ride them are fools or probably bought 2. They are not worth even half their cost as are most bikes. Bikes are one of the most overpriced items made nowadays. Mattresses are worst considering their level of engineering and materials used. Colnago pulls this game everytime Ernesto has a birthday and the company has an anniversary ending in 0 and 5. Why not do it every year? Those with trash cash will buy them.
I would not own that bike if it was given to me. It would please me to take a sledge hammer to one since it serves no realistic purpose. It will never win any professional race so why build it? For greed. If Colnago gave a damn about their followers they would just donate them via contest/lottery, etc. Colnago is just another company that forgot about how they got where they are now, and who got them there in the first place; those would be small shops and struggling low income riders/racers. Trek is even worse being now a capitalist bully.
