Colnago C50 - NL12

[kgt]

I would never sell a C50 in order to get this Trek but... whatever...

[cerro]

oh dear, this thread is quickly going downhill .....

Went to the bottom I think Close it and start a new for the new bike majklnajt, please.

Cool project.
I like the idea of building one of those old dream bikes (i have a couple in mind myself, i would love to build)
I actually had one of those old style madones some years ago. Imo one of the best looking, and most aggressive looking frames ever, nothing really looks like it.

Happy hunting/building
Looking forward to more Madone

[majklnajt]

Hehehe, thanks for those and other comments...

Will start a new thread when I`ll have more parts...
For now, only this..

Those old Madones are pretty classy in their own right. Here's my build in the 58 cm size. Thumb up!

[majklnajt]

paddy and others, lets discuss it here:
(paddy, how high are those rims?

I must inform you that the buyer and now the new owner of my former C50 frame, received it half an hour ago

Dam, I took a chance with purchasing the C50 and I have to say it has been well worth it!

You have just made my day, what a beautiful frame! You have been a man of your word and you have been a gentleman with it.

Thank you very much!

He will join WW in a couple of days and will maybe continue this thread. This might be sort of a reincarnation

Sell a C50 to buy a Madone?

You have to be crazy

[mihai]

I like more Madone

[majklnajt]

I will comment when I try out the Madone
About the looks... I am much more satisfied with how the Madone looks. But that`s just a personal opinion.

[zadagado]

Thanks!


markyboy, those are Solist TWO wheels. Xentis 58 mm rims with DT Swiss 240s hubs and DT Aerolite spokes.

They look nice with the tyres

tes they do

[Zakalwe]

soooooo.... How's the OP getting on with his Lance inspired Madone replacement for the C50 these days.

I'd probably have jumped off a bridge, personally

[majklnajt]

See my signature. They are both sold now.

But I bought another Madone - my new project.
Madone is much better than C50.


Go jump, who cares.

[themidge]

But I bought another Madone

ooooo yes! Please do a build thread (and don't sell it )

Go jump, who cares.

I miss this attitude. Nice to see you're still around.
