No glue on the frame yet and I still need to add cable bosses and a brake boss. But the weight is 837.6g with derailleur hanger. ImageImage

Just needs brake boss and cable bosses. Should be a 900g frame. Exams loom though. So progress may slow a bit now. ImageImageImage

I am sure Colnago uses some much more advanced tech. But the basic idea of the frame is "Colnago inspired"

@euph can you provide a write up of the whole experience when you are finished? I'm curious to see the impressions of ME student learning to build with CF.

I am building this for my Individual Project module of final year. So I am writing a dissertation on it. I can provide you with the abstract when I have completed it if you want? But I will try to do a write up on here when I finish. I just worry that some people don't like big walls of text.

@euph judging by Calnago's threads, people are totally fine with walls of text (no offense). Don't worry about that, surely no harm can be done by providing an insight into such an interesting topic.

As the past owner of a C60, I doubt it! :P
