Maybe you are right grey!

Anybody has pics of trad vs sloping C60? Cant find any sloping...
By the way; Collage only offers 5 trad sizes vs 9 sloping... guess they see future in it.

Hi,
I would have thought it would be tough to find pictures of traditional, not sloping. I wanted traditional 56 for C60 but as you say, sizes are limited so it was 55 or 57 and my fit on current 52S feels spot on to me so I stuck with that (plus that way I didn't have to wait for 3 or 4 months).

Re: Bora's I am running 2015 Bora One 35 tubs and they are really great. Especially hubs which seem to roll for ever.

What size bike are you coming from? Also do you have a picture of your current C59? I clicked on your imgur account (in your signature) but nothing.

I've been riding a C59 sloping with DA Di2 and Lightweight Meilenstein's since the 59 was launched. Great bike. Just upgraded to the C60 with the same componentry. Admittedly I've only one ride but I can't fault it.

From time to time I flirt with other brands but I always end up with Colnago. I'm not suggesting for a minute that they are any better than the sea of amazing bikes produced by all of the major manufacturers but I'm sure they are within a small margin of difference.

I guess I'm sold more on the brand, it's heritage and what I perceive all that stands for.

Buy yourself a C60. If you're anything like me you'll never regret it.

One more...
Now I ride the c59 61cm trad. Stem is 130mm
Seems I have a choice between 58s, 60s and 61 trad....

Looks like all of them could be a choice?
What is the big advantage of sloping?

Your current setup has a ton of spacers and the saddle is pushed back on it's rails so it does not seem that the current frame is a good fit for you. You may want to look at a bigger frame.

I think the 58s is already larger than the 61trad. A 60s even bigger.
