But red... I still feel "dirty". In a Vegas kinda way.

I tried maybe 10 saddles at my own expense . Then I tried the Adamo and it worked but was 315 grams so I went looking for the same design but lighter hence my choice

Hey I just tried a berk saddle, and it seems to be real good. My question is would you go with white bar tape and white saddle?
Personally i'll go black saddle and black tape.
Thank you

Black saddle, black tape, and can you remove that red from the chain rings?

https://www.dropbox.com/s/s152rww8wyytckx/Photo%2016-12-01%2005%2042%2056.jpg?dl=0Good morning to all,
After a lot of playing with my fitting I finally come to a set up that suit me.
After trying the Spesh romin evo and liking it I contacted Jure for a custom lupina. The shape of his lupina is close to the Spesh. I've asked Jure to add a few mil of padding. The saddle is superb. It is not on the photo . But I will take some. There's no bar tape either because I was playing with the placement of the shifters. The tape will be black. I removed the oval chainring (big ring) and I kept the small oval chainring . Switched the superleggero stem (the width of the clamping area was too small, and it became flexy) to Mcfk to match the seatpost. I have wet sanded the handlebar to remove the Deda logo and finished it in high gloss(same as the stem and seatpost)

As nice as the bora's are I prefer the ´´feel'´ of the Lw.i found them to be less prone to brake rubbing.my LW are 24-24 spokes so they are really stiff. Keep in mind I was a Olympic lifter competing for 11 years at a bw of 105 kilos @8-9% body fat . I push past 2000 watts for 20 secs combine this with my weight of 92 kilos in a surge in a moderate gradient and the boras a rubbing even with the brake release fully open

Looks awesome!
LWs are much stiffer than Bora of course, especially the 24/24 setup. They also match nicely your other exotic components (the Berk saddle, the Mcfk stem and the seatpost).

I may need your help, I tried the MCFK stem but it's not long enough. So I would like to trade it for a nice stem in 110mm and -6 to -12 . (was thinking BOB Extralite) Mine is 100mm -6 deg. I also have a lupina padded brand new.

Does not this frame come with a white Colnago seat post?
I think that would look so much better. Just google or look in this forum for other C59s or C60s in white and you will see.

I know have the seatpost! It is a porker (250g) so I plan to paint the Mcfk in white.
