Colnago Master 55 Anniversary - 6520 gr Pics on Pg13

@NiFTY

Thanks for the comment.

1. If you look carefully (especially visible at the front fork), I forego the Lightweight skewers (especially not on a frame with chrome plating). The skewers on this built are from Mavic Crossmax for MTB (with Ti rods), personally I think they're bullet proof with fantastic clamping force. Weighs approx 80gr for pair. I covered the Mavic yellow logos with black PVC tape.

2. Thanks for the suggestion, though my personal preference are still the Cateye Strada wireless. Apart from occasionally battery replacement, the Strada is maintenance free with a pretty decent size and display.

Cheers!

Rico changed his underwear before the Obermeyer's. So what's left?
This bike saved my day.

That bike needs to be seen in person to appreciate it...

May the watcher beware as he may need a dark set of sunglasses as the glare from the the sun hitting the shiny gold parts of that bike is unbearable and enough to make Mr T blush with envy....

Maverick... shame on you for taking that photo on an overcast day.... you need my wax, then go please retake and repost!

It must look really sweet when the bike is rolling and the gold spokes pass through the fork and stays. Beautiful Mav...

@jimaizumi,
Lol..wax again??

@irongatsby,
Thanks for the comment. Any new update(s) on your Colnago?

Hi Maverick_1,

I love to have this beautiful frame. So, please kindly advise where you did buy it (my size is same as yours).

Thanks,

Longcat

Bravo for Obys!

Now you just need EPS.

2)If you changed to a garmin with outfront mount you could lose that ugly wheel speed sensor on your forks and just run gps.

The wheelset comes with its own embedded magnet. If you look carefully at the rims, you'll notice a "+ "mark right in the picts for the front wheel. You just have to align the speed sensor onto it.
There's no need for a separate spoke mounted sensor.

@anquetil,
EPS on a Master
lol...

@maxxevv
I think what NiFTY meant was the speed sensor mounted on the fork, not the rims. Unfortunately I'm not a fan of Garmin GPS, still preferring the good ol' traditional Cateye wireless speedometer

[maxxevv]

If you read it again, I believe he was referring to using GPS to using a magnetic pickup speed sensor on the fork.

I'm referring using a wireless sensor without a need for a separate magnet on the newer Lightweight wheels as the magnet is already pre-embedded into the rim.
And that there's NO NEED for a GPS based speed sensor.

Minor update, replaced the Extralite OC to Hyperstem @ -12deg, now should I consider putting on MCFK's -17 deg

[danbjpa]

Yees! give a try to see how looks with more aligned with tt
oh, and imo this bottle cage looks a little strange compared to thin frame tubes. but this not affect the overall beauty. [emoji106]

Which veloflex you';re running ?

nice bike

[spartan]

can you give us some feedback on the extra lite stem. stiffness? any slippage of the bars?

[maverick_1]

@danbjpa,
Cages are the original Elite Patao carbon, rather hard to find and I got those used just for this built. Was restored by Berk himself to "as new" condition

@KTCY,
Thanks, the Obies mounted with Veloflex Carbon

@spartan,
No bar slippage so far on the Extralite stems (had a few bikes with Extralites, zero issues). As long as you tighten it to a recommended torque and use a proper friction paste, there shouldn't be any problem I believe. As for the stiffness, no complains either!
*both my Extralite OC stems in 100mm had tolerance issues, it's more difficult than usual to get it onto the steerer as compared to other sizes, e.g 110mm.
