While the frame may be classic, and the Tecnos was a bit of an instant classic, Marty raced his Technos all over Europe and Canada from 1999 all the way into 2013.

Marty and his Colnago have raced through France, Czech, Italy, Germany, and Croatia, survived Bosnia, seen the beaches of Normandie, and raced some more through Alberta, Saskatchewan and BC, landing podiums and thoroughly enjoying the ride throughout.

And itd be hard not to, Marty describes the Tecnos as the most comfortable and beautiful bike I have ridden to date.

Take that fancy space-plastic Not that Martys is lacking in carbon fiber, with those Spinergy Rev Xs mounted up.

Plus, that incredible colourway that I cant even begin to describe.

The biggest difference is the Precisa straight-blade steel fork on Martys frame, which emerged out of Ernesto Colnagos long running ties to Ferrari.

While it may not seem significant now, but the idea of a straight fork blade was not only innovative when Colnago introduced the Precisa, but mocked by those who thought it would never survive its first Paris-Roubaix.

Colnagos collaborations with Ferrari have produced some unique results, but Colnago credits Ferarri engineers for pushing accepted wisdom in fork design to produce something new and better.

The Spinergys arent Martys race wheels,but they do look sharp.

But theyre not exactly UCI legal, with the longstanding rumor being that UCI developed a new stress test with the sole purpose of outlawing the Rev-X.

Urban myths aside, the forward looking Rev-X still cut a striking profile.

And if youre looking to make the argument that todays Pros are maybe a little over-sensitive, with all their whinging about disc brakes and rolling knives, compare a disc rotor to these giant, rolling meat slicers.
