Pictures of Colnagos

[fletch62]

I bought the EPS off a Stalkbook group for $1400. Impulse buy, but i've always wanted one and never got around to building the steel '90's Colnago Elegant frame i have. Record 11 and A23/Record combo i had from previous builds. Also have Farsport 25mm CX rims in 50/60 combo to go with Token gold hubs. Bars to be Zipp CSL with red tape and if i like the regal there is a black and green version for sale locally. This bike is going to have colour! Thomson stem is 120 if i can make it fit. Seatpost to be replaced at some point, looking into cheap carbon options or a Thomson if the new setback post looks ok.

As per what I said to Rich, hit me up when you're going to sell it

that is fantastic. pulls off the thompson kit very well

Nice build, except for the "bent" Thomson seatpost. I'd swap that thing for a traditional setback seatpost at the first opportunity.

I have a master that i built several years ago……..just got back stateside to ride…

Majorbanjo - must admit I've scanned about 20 pages of this topic and not found an appealing bike (due to my tastes struggling with Colnago's madwoman's breakfast paint schemes) - until now - your Master is beautiful - well done!
Perfection would be a quill stem or polished alloy ahead stem - but that is my taste and minor in the scheme of things. Is that a Ritchey or Deda seatpost? - matches the bike really nicely. What wheels are you running?

Lovely C40!
although this bent Thomson seatpost is not my cup of tea...

Thanks for your compliments….

It's a deda seat post…..the wheels and the bike were built for me by Tom at GVH bikes in Oregon; I found the frame on his website sent my measurements and we talked frequently through the build……..

For the wheels he used:

White Industries H2/H3 hubs
Velocity A23 rims
Sapim Laser spokes
alloy nipples
weight - 1537g

I agree about the quill stem…..would like to find one that fits the bike and me……I'm hesitant to mess with it…since it currently fits so well….

Thanks Again….

My TWBK Extreme-C updated from earlier in the thread. I upgraded to 11 speed over the winter with an SR Ti chainset and Record derailleurs and shifters. I actually had the older SR11 chainset before with the 10 speed setup but needed 172.5mm cranks. Record seatpost changed to Deda Superzero and new SLR Flow saddle.

I usually ride this with Hyperon Ultra Twos as it is my 'climbing' bike with the compact, but my EP was off the road when this picture was taken and I needed the Boras on for a fast circuit training session.





Weight is 6.75kg as pictured.

Lovely build, Mockenru.

Bike rides like a dream, stiff and razor sharp handling .

How do I attach pics ?

Don't like the later editions of the PR99 scheme?

(but I do know how much you love white bikes )

Agreed...I would have went for a complete Deda setup, but I could not find a Deda stem with -17 degree.

So I went for the Thomson kit. But it looks a bit out of place on a Colnago.
