Thanks, cant beat the ride quality of steel! Plus you get less people trying to race you when you're trying to keep to your pace :P

It was all going so well until the Enve's. They just look too overpowering for your C59. 50mm Boras (or the 47mm Lightweights) would look so much nicer and match the bike better as well. Anything beyond a 50mm profile belongs on an all out aero bike imo. The "Gripelfunkensteins" looked great.

I feel the same way! Theyre actually off a different bike and im waiting to see how the new wide bora 35's review. The 6.7 are still great wheels, but anything under 22mph and youre just carrying dead weight, and im below that more often than not ;) Im actually more a fan of wheels in the 30-35mm range.

Freshly rebuilt the C59 after a crash. Frame, group and power meter was untouched phew :lol: Just had to replace the bars, stem and seat. Went with custom painted 3T Ergonova LTD's (38) and an ARX stem. Rides better than ever!

Bora is the perfect match obviously.
