Curious, besides the internal cable routing, what differences are there between the V3 and the V3RS?

Ooh! Does that mean that both bikes will have a similar ride quality to it?

Almost finished.
Weight including bottle cages, Garmin mount and pedals
Likely 6.5kg final weight without Garmin mount and cut seatpost and lowered handlebar (further cut steerer).
Hope that darimo one day brings out a 0mm seatpost without loops like the factor ostro version 😜
In that photo, do you remember what was the height of spacers you had there? Just to link actual height with the visual reference. Thanks.

It's really a stunning bike!

Around 3cm in total (2-3mm headset ring and 5-6mm topcap and 2x5mm removable spacers and 1cm of required transition spacer needed for the cables.
Angle of bar was -7 (used the straight sleeve)

Now I dropped the bar (removed the 2x5mm spacers) and used a straight sleeve so bar is now at -10degree
The bar is really 11+cm stem (advertised as 10cm) but reach is ultrashort. The drop is shallow and really this bar is for me the best I rode. Stiff light and nice shallow drop and not too much real estate to the shifters. The new shifters provide much better support and are a tad longer then my older ultegra di2 shifters

This is the new setup ... so drop increased by 1.5cm. I kept some tube sticking as I'm not sure if I keep it. This was my last position measured with a fitter but is more aggressive then I'm used to. But did already a few 100km and it is nice to ride

It is really the minimum you need unlessyou would remove the topcap and use a uneven sleeve to tilt the angle to -13. That would give you another 1cm drop.

Couldn't fully delete the post...
As I damaged the toptube due to some stupidity (paint damage) it was fixed and took the opportunity to let the ceramic speel slt headset mount for lifetime warranty :lol: :lol:

How did they match the intricate paint pattern in the frozen red when they fixed it?

It's all downhill from here, except for the uphills.

Am I right in thinking the internal cable routing goes through the headset bearings so you have to remove the hydraulic hoses when you want to change the bearings?

Well I have no clue but that shop is awesome. They did the frozen paint scheme already with other colors on other bikes.
I had already a fix under warranty as the fork came in damaged straight from Colnago.
That shop paints a lot for teams and does also helmets etc
Was not cheap though as they wanted the frame stripped from components

Search for unlimited colors in Holland. Highly recommended.

Today did some own weight measurement and shop did it with their Parktool.It seems the shop did not do a proper weighing first
Weight is 6.75(Parktool)-6.8kg(feedback) including bottle cages, pedals and Garmin mount and some heavier bar tape. Still need to cut the seatpost to length and cut last piece of steering tube. I think it will land on 6.70-6.75gr 😉

There seems to be one person on here that did not install either the Colnago stem nor the Deda Superbox stem.... I am curious to know
what the results would be of putting a negative 17 degree stem on the bike. Are there some great photos of "third-party" stems on this bike? How were
both the electronic wires and the hydraulics handled?
Also, can the Colnago seat post that comes with the bike, accept oval seat rails?
