Wow this is a thing of beauty... Should be campy, but the frame makes up for it. Fired up to see the finished product

Why Campy?
The Mapei Colnagos were Shimano Dura Ace.

A real beauty. Agree, definitely Shimano - did Mapei ever use Campy?
What saddle will you use? Something period correct like a concor lite or rolls - the modern concor fx could be a go.

Indeed!
Very nice!
Not trying to be smart, but Deda Newton 31 stem is less bulkier than Zero100 stem...

1. it's the best, and anything that has been touched by Ernesto deserves it.
2. it does not appear to be a period team bike that you are building to spec
3. Colnagos just look and feel better with a full italian build

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.

Good morning gentlemen, being offered a very similar build bike , from Milan , would like to dwell on the experience of my peers on what I can quote , Mapei extra light master w, with 2010 super record and neutron wheels , with carbon bars and stem
Request your thoughts
Kind regards
