What size is that?

Could you maybe snap a picture from the side on a bright background - just to see the geometry even better?

Love the paintjob - but the rotor cranks and easton wheels wouldn't be my first choice on this italian beauty

It's a 59cm traditional. When it's finished I'll get a good picture :thumbup: the choice of easton wheels has come from me using them for quite a long time with no issues but a set of bora 50s would suit it nicely and I think the 5 arm campagnolo record crank would suit it better but I really like the rotor rings. Thanks Tom :mrgreen:

Nice one! I have to admit I never really was into the Art Decor colorways but with time I kinda enjoyed them more and more and by now I think they're just awesome :D Cool to see that you've chosen a traditional geometry, I ordered a C60 PLBK 61 traditional as well a few weeks earlier and can't wait for this beauty to arrive! I'm curious about how your final built will look like :beerchug:

I really believe that since the C 59, Colnagos look better in sloping than traditional geometry IMOP.
Also, not crazy about the blue color.

Can't share the feelings about sloping C60s looking better than traditional ones but however just personal taste

Finally finished the bike today guys! It comes in at a respectable 7350g which I think is pretty decent considering I didn't chose the most lightweight components I could find due to it being a race bike :thumbup: a picture of the finished build should follow shortly but since its dark here it will be another house shot but a day time shot should come on Sunday when I get to ride it. Thanks Tom :D

Sand down you mean :evil: Those are painted on if I remember correctly. But yes, some Bora wheels would look 100x better on such a classy bike
