KGT, what do you mean?
Sarcastic? Just asking...

The S-WORKS TARMAC DI2 DISC looks very cool.... but as far as I can see also only till 61cm trad....
Dogma F8.... hmmm 92 cm trad....

I go crazy... the more I look, the more cool bikes I see....

Of course s-works is a top frame as well as most modern frames from Cervelo, Cannondale, Trek, Bianchi, Canyon etc. But, still, you cannot compare it to a Colnago. If you do you are not ''ready'' for a Colnago IMHO. Sorry, but I am such a Colnago fan! :D

KGT, I ride a colnago for 4 years now.... so why should I be not ready?!?
Just because I also look at other options...
And you must admit, the choices for my body to a cling c60 frame are limited... I am just scared to buy a 60S and it looks strange....

That's even worse! You ride a Colnago and you consider S-works as an upgrade?!
Anyway I am just kidding, that's just my personal view, buy whatever you like and enjoy it!

That's a pretty valid concern. At 1m92 a 60S sounds pretty big to me. I am 1m96, 85kg. I had a C50 61trad that was fitting pretty good. I did not buy a C60 because the 61trad were not available and I was in between sizes between 56s and 58s. I bought an F8 59.5 that fits me perfectly. The setup of your current C59 seems a bit odd to me but if the contact points are great for you try to find a stock frame that replicates them.

My F8 below to give an idea of the sizing of a 59.5, 13cm stem.

That is a nice ride!
U like the F8? Difference to your Collnago?

I love the F8, it is stiffer, snappier, lighter and descends better than the C50 (that was already a very good descender).

Sounds cool.
Must admit the 59.5 does look great... you're 1.96 and 59.5 fits... wow

Advantage would be; Pinarello seems available within 2 weeks, Collage takes 3 month....

And yes.. I am going to keep the C59! Will take it to Germany (My 2nd home).

Everything considered all the frames we are talking about are great frames. You can start a Colnago collection or mix it up. I know I like mixing it up.

BTW 1m96 fitting on a 59.5 is nothing exceptional. I have a saddle height of 84cm and a 12cm drop. These values are fairly standard. I would rate my flexibility average.

Maybe the 59.5 would fit me...
My saddle height is 854mm... that should fit
Drop 106mm

Don't know but if it helps you with my 84cm saddle height, my aliante saddle clamped in the middle of the rails and no spacer except the Pina headset cap I have 62.5cm from tip of the saddle to middle of where a normal stem would be and a 12cm drop as stated above.

Why don't you just get custom carbon? Crumpton? Parlee? Someone here can name some European operations if that helps.
