Pretty much all done now except for that stupid seat I am waiting on. Here a few more pics.

Cateye Strada Slimline speedo sensor siliconed onto the inside of the front fork, first I put some 3M clear protective tape onto the fork and then stuck the sensor ontop of the 3M tape so there are no cable ties on the outside of the fork
Image

My speedo magnet mod, with Colnago symbol : )
Image

Bottom bracket area, absolutely love the air brushing and Colnago made in Italy sticker
Image

Top tube with Italian tri colori cable donuts
Image

Head tube, cabling detail
Image

Headtube, also showing how shiny the front brakes are now that I polished them
Image

Colnago chain saver, hopefully it will never get used!
Image

Finished bike so, pending seat........and then later pedals.

As fellow Colnago owner (c59) I appreciate almost every colnago. Ernesto knows what he is doing.

Yours is in a league all of it's own even within the ecosystem of Colnago.

The groupset, the frame, the traditional geometry, the wheels, the tires - this bike is perfect. Please take more pictures.

My next nago might be 60cm traditional rather than 56 sloping.

Yes, there are people that know how to properly build a bike and others that have not a clue.

Your's is just perfect!

Thanks guys, it's a shame because the bike looks absolutely incredible in person but I can't convey that in photo's as I don't have a SLR camera to do the bike justice. In my opinion the photo's I took make it look a little average but in real life its truly stunning. When the sun comes out I will try and get some better shots.

WOW!!! That looks very very nice Mastermason11, nice build, I like it a lot. You've been able to capture the depth and gloss of the paint better than I have. Do you have any more shots that you can share?
