Her new blue dress (C60 PLLB)
Moderators: MrCurrieinahurry, maxim809, Moderator Team
The Ventoux are beautiful to look at but I think i wouldn't ride them much due to paranoia. I think the Boras look killer on there and I've still got to throw on the 46s.
For the WW wheels, I'm on the fence abouy rebuilding the 32s onto some lighter hubs (though they're already lighter than Ventoux). I've looked at a couple newer options but rhe wider rims mean system weight will end up higher.
Then there's the temptation to grab another set of CCUs. Thanks to RyanH for planting that seed.

That's a beautifully built bike. The blue color really pops and the Campy parts are right at home.
Thanks, folks. Last weekend on a ride something happened with the Campy and it is now noticeably easier to shift the rear. Its made my rides lately even more enjoyable as there's just a silkiness and sense of controk with the shifting. 9100 may still edge the SR in performance, but theres certainly something to be said for the "soul" of Italian mechanisms.
Today was all chores and no riding. While I was at it, I threw on different wheels I've got around.
I'm surprised the 58s look as good as they do. Still on the fence about whether to offload the 58 or 46.
For sure, if I keep the 46, I need to replace the Roubaix with some Arenbergs.
Forgive the temporary monster stem. Just trying to find the right angle.
I also swapped out chainrings from Praxis to Force for a savings of 31g. Also yanked the Corsas off the 32s so thay I can glue up the Extremes to them - only to realize I'm out of glue. So it will have to wait a few days.

Amazing. The only Colnago I've ever really longed for.

Butter my butt and call me a biscuit, holy cow thats a nice build..very well done! How does the matte finish hold up against the elements?
I'm using the Reynolds blue right now, looked at the cryo's but the cost uptick was way too much to stomach..

I've got less than 90 miles on it so far - so much too soon to speak on durability.
As for the pads, the extra surface area justifies the cost IME. They have tons of power (coincidence?) And also wear pretty well. One exception being an earlier set of 58 clinchers that really just ate through pads.

With my RZRs, I had about 6k miles with a single set of Power Pads and they are not at half life yet. The extra stopping power is definitely worth the premium, IMO.
