a few weeks ago i posted asking advice regarding the Colnago Primaveras that wiggle were selling cheap only to miss out buying one when my size sold out. however just over a week later i spied this frame and forks on ebay for the givaway price of £150 plus p&p ( £130 cheaper than the Primaveras ) within half an hour of it being listed it was mine! anyway ive built it up with bits i had on my previous roadie which i will be upgrading when things wear out. i know the pic wont impress napoleond due to the lack of available white garage doors locally so i apologise for that in advance!
take a look.

Nice.
Like the Rabobank colours. Like the tyres too (veloflex?)0 -
they most certainly are, good spot! had them ages and only had one puncture well worth the money imo.who cares?0

I`ve got a black Ramarro too, that`s what they were called at first, in 2007 when sold as a whole bike with Tiagra components.It`s the same frame as the Primavera. If you don`t mind me using your thread here is a photo, note it says Ramarro on it.

How do you find the Veloflex? I'm thinking of getting some of the black sidewall ones but am I bit concerned about durability (they'll be used for sportives, training rides, very occasional race / TT's). I'm 80-85kgs, I'd be hoping for a couple of thousands of miles out of them!0 -
the veloflex tyres are excellent and well worth the money imowho cares?0

ive been busy spending money upgrading a few bits on the `Nago up to the point where im going to leave it as it is for a while, just fitted an isis fsa carbon pro chainset with a crank bros cyan ti bottom bracket, a prologo naga saddle and some gipiemme pheonix wheels shod with wtb solaro tyres and yes that is a mtb rear mech (its the only straight rear mech ive got!) it will be the next upgrade when i can be bothered

Nice bike dude! The white saddle has brought it to life IMO...or is it the wheels?? Whats the gearing on her?Find your limits...and then exceed them frequently0
-
50-34 up front with a 12-27 dura ace cassette as im an unfit fat bloke who cares?0
-
I`ve got a mounain bike rear mech as-well and I had a 32 ring until recently, now it`s just a 28. It`s nothing to be ashamed of.Smarter than the average bear.0

i was thinking of of using a 12-32 bit like the new sram apex but a whole heap cheaper, i can imagine a few people scoffing at the idea of a compact and a wide cassette but at the end of the day its my bike and if it helps me get up hills who is to argue!

Exactly....depends where you live of course...Where I live, no matter which way I ride I have a hill....so I ride 53/39 x 12/28....as you say....ride what gear gets you up the hills :PFind your limits...and then exceed them frequently0
-
Is that the saddle position you ride with? :shock: The nose is pointing down massively - can't be comfortable?Carlsberg don't make cycle clothing, but if they did it would probably still not be as good as Assos0

i think `massively` is a bit of an exaggeration but i find it more comfortable that way ive seen a few saddles much steeper than mine by a long way.who cares?0
