NOS Cipollini RB800

[nismosr]

Got a hold of this badboy RB800 size Small at an awesome deal, I said why not .. fedex delivered it last week. good for a spring project.
Sold my C60 last month on a plan to get a C64 but that frame still hot and pricing is still up the roof, probably wait till the end of the year or early next year.

Build will be parts from the C60 SR EPS, Deda Cockpit, Wheels MFG Ceramic BB and Rotor 3D+ P2M Crankset, Bora One 35 wheelset or the LW Standard III depending of my weight. lol

Wow , that is a great find - and if it was a great price it's even better

[FilmAt11]

That's a really good weight with ISP and the paint/clear coat - didn't realize the RB800 was so light.

Get it built

You should always place the scale on a hard surface. It seems your shot was taken with scale on some soft bench or something.

Ahh thats why, even at 100g more I think Its still pretty good compare to my Colnago’s at 1130g

HT on the Small is way to short to normal frame I ride at 120mm, cone hs cover is about 25mm I think plus I have to add another 20mm spacer.

Nice, so you obviously mounted the battery in the seattube. Which mounting method did you use?

[beeatnik]

Considering you've got that fresh Concept, RB800 over C60 isn't even a lateral move.

That said.

RB800 is (was) one of the sexiest carbon frames ever IMHO. It is a shame that it is no longer produced.

[wheelbuilder]

So nice.

The bottle cage mount did not work so I cut up a hard foam packing material about 6 inch in the shape of the seat tube and cut a hole in the middle and insert the battery, I then push that sucker inside the seat tube lol

I’ll find out soon how it holds up.

Press-fit battery cocoon...really looking good and I think it will be a great ride too.
