Correct me if I'm wrong, but shouldn't a wider rim flatten and lower the tire height vs. a normal width rim?

The build is perfect.
Really nice color.Maybe the best along with the Art decor
Any idea about ride differences from the C59?

I swapped out the brake cables in the end and they are now much smoother. I have also re-routed the shifter cables to the inside of the bars. As I had to fit some new tape, I thought I would see what black looks like? And with some different wheels.... :wink:

I have only had one 20 mile ride so far but I definitely like the feel of the new Campag groupset. The bike feels solid, smooth and rattle / squeak free but I would expect that from a new build. I need at least a couple of longer rides before I can add more by way of a comparison to my C59

I guess C60 will immediately feel stiffer than the C59. Especially around the bb. Or not?

I like it better with the black tape Rich! Very nice.

I'm also in the process of building up a C60 Italia black gloss - your earlier pic was in fact what got me interested in the RSCG scheme :)

Hey are those Deda Presa bars? Any issues with shifting now that you've routed the cables internally?

Awesome setup!

Looks fab. Original build was about as good as it gets, but this aces it IMO with the black bartape. Chapeau.

I think black bartape looks better. Perfect build. Wouldnt do anything otherwise.
