This forum is the place to be for Colnago aficionados. After wanting a Colnago for so long, I finally gave in to my bike lust, and ordered a C59 in TSMR from Mike@Maestro UK in November 2012. It is finally home.
Weights: (my scale is only good to +-5 g)
Frame, 1150g, including upper and lower headset bearings installed, and some vinyl protection on the top tube, down tube, seat tube, chain stays (I forgot to weigh the frame before I put on the vinyl).
Fork uncut, 395g, including bearing race, and brake bolt
Seatpost, 220g
Seatpost collar, 25g
I will post more pictures and weights as I build the bike up. I plan to build this up with Campagnolog Super Record, and Enve 65 wheels. Enjoy these pics for now.

I'm 5'7" with a 74cm inseam. Mike recommended that I ride a 45s because I like a fairly low position. I did get the matching seatpost.
I managed to install the SR cups and crank, before bed time. Time to rest for tomorrow's 50 mile ride.
Weights:
Super record BSA cups, 50g, with wave washer and retaining clip.
Super record Ti 50/34 crankset, 585g, with chainrings and Ti bolt.

If your buying a Colnago for weight you don't get it...
Looks like I made a new 90 Proof friend
Then why post it on a "weight weenies" site
I had the top end colnago frame in the shop the day as the local rep is trying to get us onboard to stock them, It was a disappointing dated technology frameset for what they cost, we wont be stocking them.

I understand Colnago frames are the the lightest. If I wanted a light frame, I would have purchased a Wilier zero.7 or a BH ultralight. Even thought the name of this forum is Weight Weenies, This forum has a lot of Colnago fans and fans of bicycles in general. I have learned a lot from reading the posts on this forum. By posting my Colnago build process, I was hoping to share my enthusiasm for this beautiful frame as well as provide more content and add to the knowledge base of this great forum.
