Colnago C59 build questions

[kicker]

After getting hit by a car on my Colnago Extreme Power a few months ago, I have finally received my insurance $$ (thank god my uncle is an attorney) and am in the process of piecing together my new Colnago C59.

I am 186cm (with long arms) and although my EP was a 58 traditional, I'm ordering the frame next week and am probably going to go with a 54s for the new bike (I've read some of the threads and yes, I know you all have strong opinions either way). I'm going to get the MTBK (matte black) frame, but am having trouble finding a couple parts that will compliment the finish, specifically a seat post and a stem. Any ideas?

As of now, here are the parts that I have assembled:

Groupset: Campy SuperRecord 2011
Handlebar: FSA K-Force Carbon Compact 44cm
Saddle: Selle Italia Flite, red
Wheelset: Mavic Cosmic Carbone SLR Clincher 2011 (waiting for my shop to get them in)
Tires: Conti GP4000S
Pedals: Look Keo Carbon Blade
Helmet: Catlike Whisper Plus, matte black

Look forward to all of your opinions.

What about EDGE/ENVE carbon seatpost + stem and unlabel them?

PMP do a matte carbon post which will be on my C59.

Colnago also has matte carbon seatpost.

@majklnajt: is the edge matte, it's hard to tell online (maybe because it's late and I've been staring at a computer all day)?

@jonm: are you going with the MTBK frame color? which stem are you planning on using?

[majklnajt]

As far as I know it is matte. Didnt see it in flesh though, just pics.

colnago do a matt black seatpost with no writing on, i have it on my MTBK EPS
your going to find it hard getting one else where unless your prepared to sand the clearcoat off

I agree that the Colnago matte black post is probably the best bet, so I think I'll be going with that one.

Now I just need to figure out the stem.

[LittleSprinter]

I'm biased about the bars because I have the Al versions of them and I love the bend and they work really well for me. If you go with that bar, then go with an FSA stem (I have the OS115 but the K-Force stem would look the best with that bar). For the seatpost, I would initially say go with a matching post, but I don't thing the gloss carbon/white red post would match well with that, maybe it would, but I would check your shop to see if they have one you can test out. Could go with a Campy post or the matte black Colnago one.

Other option for bar and stem would be the Deda compact bar and matching stem.

Kicker-

Is there any reason in particular you are going with a K Force bar? The bar is pretty heavy...

Do note that the standard Colnago post only has a setback of 15mm, if you need more, would strongly suggest getting another seatpost with the appropriate setback.

I ran into that and had to change for a Deda SuperZero ( 21mm setback) as I couldn't get the saddle far back enough to be comfortable in pedalling.

I know there is a pic on the net of matte C59 with FSA components and it looks great. I think I have this pic stored on my computer at the job. I`ll find it tomorrow...

[majklnajt]

As promised...

[maxxevv]

That's indeed a nice looking one !

[majklnajt]

Yeah, even if its slooping one
I wonder what size is it? 52s or 54s....
