Hi Everyone,
Long time reader, first time poster!!
I am in process of building my first Colnago (replacement for my older Pinarello Prince 2002)
I should have my frame and all of the components next week, but I thought I will post my parts list first. Items with the "x" next to them have not arrived and the weight is estimated. I will post pictures once this project is completed.

Welcome to the posting world of weight weenies. Your build list looks very classy. I hope that the real weight turns out close to the paper weight for you, as that will certainly be a mighty fine machine! Be sure to post lots of pictures.

waiting for the pics......
I got lucky and managed to buy out of stock, but some places told me 12 weeks minimum (+/- 4). I believe that North American distribution was advised that some sizes could be up to 4 months late ......
......so, I am happy that mine is on its way and I have a tracking number.

Sounds absolutely great, though I'll be very suprised if the frameset comes out at that weight.
You also have to add glue, grease and air.
All told, I suspect the build as planned will come out 100-200g above your current estimate. But that will still be light for C59 build.

I believe that at this moment is somewhere over the Atlantic ocean in the belly of the airplane on it's way to North America....
Now I am on my way to pick up Veloflex Extreme tires from post office. I am curious if the weight is what they claim.

Tires are in and the weight on them is a bit off. They claim 220g, but mine are 238g, 238g and the last one is at 242g.
One thing that I have to say that they look very nice and supple.
