Beautiful C50 with a special colorway. I'm surprised at how good the new crankset looks with the classic frame. Seems to match the chainstays.

It wasn't until I saw it built up under 16lbs that the self punishment began. If it rides good too, that will mean I will need to start a new search. :)

Sometimes even me can appreciate a bike with black bartape and sloping. Awesome :D

as many you of like your wine age or scotch whisky for that exceptional smoothness (sorry not a drinker) this C50 aged really well , this baby ride so smooth that it seems better than my C59 even with a $17 Tubular tires, fast on flats and not bad on climbs too. First ride this morning 46 miles - 2900 ft of climb and fresh like a baby afterwards. It will be my rig this winter season.

That's great, Nismosr! Glad it was a winner.

Just curious - what is your $17 tubulars? And whats the width if you don't mind me asking? Is clearance ok on the frame & fork?

Sorry for all the questions :-)

Cheers

Look565, Vittoria Rally tire - it's training tires the review is hit and miss but for winter season riding I'll take it. I have 25mm in the back might fit 27mm too, and 23mm in the front and plenty of room as well for a 25mm. I will post pictures and it differs too which tire brand.

Thank you Lonewheeler - shes a keeper.
