Are you using that 70 gram lead brick of a Colnago fork expander?


You mean that metall thing in the fork tube? :D

Anyone wants to buy this 28 mm seatpost?
I know it sounds sick, but I have to lower my sadlle and the colnago sign will vanish into the seat tube... :roll:

But you can also talk me away from selling it :D

I was aware of that when buying it.
In the modern days - you are right! :D
In the old, classic days - the frame is perfect.

In the look of a weightweenie - the frame is enormous. :D

Practically, the frame is too big, when you cannot put the saddle any lover and/or even with the shortest stem, you can`t reach the levers :D

Personally, I like it, because of the classic look.

Kupi SlR sedež in boš lahko dvignil sedežno oporo za cca 1,5 cm, bo takoj bolje izgledalo.

Buy SLR seat, so you can lift seat post 1,5 cm higher.Bike will look certanly better.

Hvala, ampak SLR mi niti malo ne odgovarja. Kot, da bi sedel na betonu. :wink:

Thanks, but I dont like SLR. It`s like sitting on concrete.

Frame size looks perfect.

How have those wheels held up so far? Is the breaking surface as durable as they say?
