Hey there!

So, basically this is my friend's bike, bought it a couple of months ago. We'd like to upgrade it. A brand new groupset and a brand new set of wheels. Also going to need new bars, stem, seatpost.

We think this should be an italian build.

He has a limited budget, so can't get the top, or lets say the high-end parts.

Groupset would be Campagnolo, Veloce, 10 or 11 speed.

Wheelset would be also Campagnolo, Scirocco.

Stem/Bar/Seatpost maybe Deda.

Color for the groupset and for everything else would be black.

Let me know what do you guys think, and help us pick the right parts for this baby. We are open to any kind of suggestion.

Thanks!

Hi, i had the same problem when building my c40.
I would recommend the campagnolo centaur red and blackgroupset its a great groupset and the red hints make it stand out. I have ran this group on 2 other bikes and it has never failed me.
hope this helps.

I would suggest either a 2015 Veloce/Athena groupset or a NOS Centaur/Chorus 10 speed.
Handbuilt wheels with Record hubs and dark anodized NOS rims (you have lots of NOS stuff in Hungary). In case you prefer new stuff Campagnolo Neutron Ultra would be my choise.
Black Deda parts or NOS ITM/3T.
Selle san Marco or Selle Italia saddle.

Colnago dream was my frame almost 10 years ago. I loved it!

Thanks for the replies, we will definitely look into the said parts. We prefer fairly modern stuff, so the groupset might be, or should be from at least 2013 or even newer. Colnago Dream is a pretty great frame, amazing paint job, and all around nice quality. Keep the suggestions going! Thanks!

:( Black is Cycling's Magnolia.
Someone went to a lot of trouble painting the Frame and you want to make it look boring !!!!!!!
Anodized Alloy bits are every where.
My Master X-Lite is getting Green Anodized. Red Saddle & Trim.
Veloce Group - NOT Black.
Wheels are Black with Green Alloy Nipples and Skewers.
London Fixies are black, so they don't get nicked.
Love your Creation.

Forgot to mention: The Anodized Bits are not only Pretty, but they are Light and reasonably / extremely Cheap.
