My first good bike was a Colnago Super with Columbus SL tubes way back in the 80's. Everyone I rode with also considered it a good frame, but not nearly as desirable as a Masi, Guerciotti, Ciocc or Tomassini. And if you could actually afford and get your hands on a Cinelli you were a god. I'd like to know when and why the Colnago mystique got started.
My favorite components are the ones I never have to think about.

Built up a C-59 close to three years ago. The bike just feels right. A pleasure to climb, descend and simply ride.
And another positive is that these bikes are not ephemeral, something that appealed to me since I don't buy new bikes often. There are plenty of people riding C-40's and C-50's and doing very well with them.

Ruckus composites did the carbon fiber work to accept the Campagnolo EPS wiring and charging port. They also did the paint
