The fact that Colnago and Shimano are long term partners in the pro cycling scene does not mean that Shimano is better on a Colnago aesthetics wise.
Building a team replica bike is interesting as well but this is not the case either.

I've run bikes with Shimano and Campagnolo and honestly I've had highs and lows with both and will continue to buy both I'm sure.
In the case of NS's build I just think the silver and black finish of current Dura Ace sets the Master frame and particularly the AD4 colour off a treat and in a way I don't think the carbon Chorus / Record / Super Record sets would. Of course you could have silver Athena but I think that would miss the point of this build.
I like the way that NS's build isn't trying to be retro. To me it says bang up to date and best of breed with a steel frame. It says experience over fashion that just happens to create a very lovely bike.

I said it was a valid option, I did not say either one was better.
But if you want to hear it: In this build I can't see a Campa build being better. It's aesthetically a fine bike.
I disagree but that is what a forum is: discussing different opinions on a subject.

Beautiful build and LOVE the DA9000 on it. Looks absolutely fantastic
nice build....that Deda Superleggero stem just looks correct matched with the small steel tubes (are you sure you can't make it work with the bootleg shim you used?). I think most people with threadless steertubes on steel bikes often make the mistake of using large/bulky stems that just don't look right matched with skinny steel tubes (e.g. Enve, Easton, 3T)...I think this new Deda stem and the Ritchey 4-axis are the only stems slim enough to use on steel bikes.EM3

wow, love it. such nice details (colour of the pedals!). wheelset goes great with the frame, not to deep!
