Thank you and looking forward to seeing yours. What colour are you going for? Surrey is also shocking isn't it - I spend a fair bit of my working life there and it's bloody awful.Magnum wrote: ↑Wed May 02, 2018 5:30 pmYour bike looks great, congratulations!
I have a C64 arriving fairly soon, and a lot of my choices are similar to yours. It is the same size too. I absolutely hear you on the state of the roads, I am not far from you in Surrey. It's sometimes difficult to get into a decent rhythm because the roads are so bad you end up crashing into a huge pothole.

Mine is in the all black, PKBK. I can't wait as my current bike is from 2001 so it's been a while coming! My spec is similar to yours - 3T cockpit, Fizik saddle, Bora wheels (mine are 'only' the Ones though). Main difference will be the Campagnolo group as it is what I'm used to.
Regarding the roads, I don't know what I can add apart from it makes you very good at bike slalom!

Never been a fan of Colnagos but the C64 with that paint job and components looks fantastic. Enjoy the ride!

Looks fantastic and well preportioned. The build looks so clean, I can even look beyond the mismatching Campy/shimano parts 
Ride it in good health.

It was worth the mix up just to see some people lose their minds over it 
Thanks man!

One more - this time wearing some Vittoria Corsa G+ tyres, and here with Ultra 35's instead of the 50's
Looks equally good regardless of the shoes. I was never a fan of the sort of "whitewall" look of the newer Vittorias, but they look fine here. I much preferred the more tan color of the Veloflex Roubaix or Vlanderens for example. And I've not seen the TurboCottons for real yet, but from what I see I like the color of their tan walls as well, even though they seem to have a bit more of an orangy tinge to them. Of the two you show... I prefer the look of the Turbocottons. Wheels themselves are a tossup. Nice to have spares to change things up with. Do you notice much of a difference between the two sets of wheels? Probably hard to really compare with two different sizes and types of tyres on them.

I think I prefer the Turbos on colour. They look a bit more ‘business’.
I run the 35’s mainly on my steel bike but it’s nice to have both for each. They’re a little easier in strong wind and a little lighter but there’s not much in it. I could run either and be happy.
I haven’t ridden the Vittorias yet but will do tomorrow. It’s more of a head to head try-out really. Scratching an itch.

Best price, from a legit place, to buy a Colnago C64 frameset? I'm based in the U.S and looking to build the C64 with DA 9150 and Bora Ultra 50mm wheels, similar to the OP. I love the silver and black color.

Soooo - quick shots showing the Enve stem and the steerer cut down to its final length. Bike is wearing Bora Ultra 35's here rather than the 50's previously, and I think I may well prefer the 35's overall. Anyone thinking about Turbo Cottons should get some, these 28's are just wonderful.
I reckon that's it for any tweaks now. The ride is absolutely perfect.

Can’t believe how much I am loving mine, I don’t even miss my C60 now.
It does yes.
Not sure about spacers though. I had mine built for me. I don’t have the box to hand to look though.
