First two indoor rides with new Deda Alanera barstem, but I am not convinced about my choice. The top is very specific and cruelly narrower than e. g. S-Works Aerofly II.

Can you elaborate on that ? What do you mean with narrower ? I assume that cc is your reference and shouldnt be different. And what about the top ? Too flat ??
Very curious...
BTW what size do you have ?

Yes, of course top flat is very specific, measures are right and obvious. I will try to wrap bar tape around this part and see. 120+440

Smaller hands ? I'm really looking forward to the flat top as I can easily wrap my complete hand around the shifters. And I want to have a bit more support compared to the round bars.
I'm planned 420x100 or maybe 420x110

Hello all, does anyone have real-life weights for the V3RS framesets in the RIM brake option, preferably in the 50s size? Sorry if it's embedded somewhere in the last 30 odd pages.

My 48s Rim frameset was as follows:

Frame + fittings + headset: 973.2
fork: 342

Not a light bike.

What's the typical refresh cycle like for Colnago? ie, when would you guys expect to see an updated V3RS?
Lots of bikes: currently riding Enve Melee, Krypton Pro, S Works Crux, S Works Epic Evo, SL7.
In build: SW SL8

Colnago just produces new frames when it sees fit. Which is refreshing imho

In any case there are rumours of a c64 replacement this year which will predate any new V3RS model.

I have heard that C64 update should be announced quite soon. On the other hand V3RS is not due to update but they will cancel rim brake version for the next year. C64 successor should be both disc and rim.

Some information for users of the Colnago C64/V3RS straight seatpost. They only come with clamps for oval rails.
Pretty dissapointing from Colnago support that they couldnt provide decent help except telling "you need to try if they work for oval rails". Obviously not.
Being frustrated I did some research and found several post with a clamp system similar to that of the Colnago.

Found clamps from Ritchey logic and ordered them yesterday hoping that I could fit a decent carbon saddle instead of buying some cheap steel rail flite boost saddle for my new built

Tried them and they are exactly the same system. So for all who need other clamps for the straight seatpost ofr Colnago. Order the clamps of Ritchey Logic (round rails, old selle std and new selle/fizik oval rails)

Hope this help some others ...

When I ordered my 2021 C64, the setback post was standard and the straight post was a special order. Although not from my bike, referencing the image below, it is the same clamp as mine and I ride a Fizik Tundra M1 that has 7x10 braided carbon rails but pretty sure that cradle design will allow installation of saddles with either round or oval rails as well. So did you intend to say the clamps on your straight seat post only work for round rails?

Interesting to note that several of online stores now show nearly all sizes of the C64 as out of stock, so I am suspecting we are getting really close to the introduction of the new version.
