The Master Mapie is a true work of art, absolutely love that paint job. Can't wait to see your final build.

I used a Deda Newton 31 stem on my master below but felt that it never really matched and looked a little too bulky so i went for the Deda Superleggero stem paired with Deda Newton shallow bend bars and couldn't be happier.

At the end of the day you build a bike they way you like it and will enjoy it the most. Some people will hate how i have built mine but i love it and it rides so so smoothly.

Why Campy?
The Mapei Colnagos were Shimano Dura Ace.


Why campy?

1. it's the best, and anything that has been touched by Ernesto deserves it.-Your opinions, no facts to back it up.
2. it does not appear to be a period team bike that you are building to spec-So he can build it with whatever parts he wants.
3. Colnagos just look and feel better with a full italian build
-Feel better?Many Campagnolo parts are made in Romania. Live and learn.[/color]

You really have no idea how the Italian manufacturing works. Those frames were not made by Ernesto or by his comb over.
Those frames were contracted out to other vendors. Keep dreaming about old Italians making and touching the parts, giving them "soul". What a joke.



All the Campagnolo Record and Super Record groupsets that i have bought say 'made in italia' on all boxes except for the Record cranks that said 'made in romania'. I also just bought a set of Bora wheels and they too said 'made in italy' on the box.
