Colnago C59 ADAR

[lovestheclimb]

love the look of this frame. probably the best c59 colour way along with the Europcar one.
looking forward to seeing it built up.
whats your lead time now to get it?

[tabmaster]

Well, I've transferred the outstanding balance to Mike & that ought to happen on the 2nd of April, so I should be able to pick it up anytime after that.

So?

exciting!!!

[tabmaster]

Yes, I'll admit to being just a 'little' excited! It's more than that, though, as I have known Mike for more than 12 years, so it's like seeing a good friend too. Mike's son, Marc, has a coffee shop in Chichester so I'll be visiting that on the way there. It's all racing, really, as Marc use to live & race in Belgium and I've not seen him for a very long time - I'm looking forward to coffee as much as the frame!

Well, I went & picked it up:


I'm sure I ought to have weighed the frame, fork & seat post before I started assembley. I'll likely do that over the weekend. This is WW, after all!
Would you all like to see a step-by-step build with better than iPhone pics as I go?

Paul.

[Quinn039]

Yes. Yes we would.

[tabmaster]

Consider it done!

That is superb, Colnago are the only firm that do beautiful paint jobs, all others look industrial or designed by a gcse student. To me that harks back to the rabo bank design of 1999, is there storage for the blood bags?

[PSM]

That is cool.

Hope you don't need spacers other then that conical one...

[kgt]

Great! The horizontal top tube is a wide choise.

[tabmaster]

Apologies to all, I'm still playing. I did a 12 hour shift today & didn't have time to do much else!


Paul.

[lovestheclimb]

looks great already Paul, this is going to look great once it is done.

[tabmaster]

Still playing! Sorry! I'll get down to business on Sunday.


Paul.
