    You maybe too late to get a traditional C59, unless you can find one in stock somewhere. On a thread on weight weenies, Ian from SWBB bikes (uk Colnago dealer) posted that Colnago have stopped producing traditional C59 and will only be making sloping C59 hence forward. Also its replacement, the C60, will only be available in sloping.

    By the way, I think you may be better with the 54s. I am 6'2 (and a bit) and ride the 56s with a BB to saddle height of 81.5 cm and a 12cm stem. The 56s has an effective TT of 58cm, quite a bit longer than your BH

    A 56 traditional would be more your size with a 77 saddle and it has a 55tt. Equivalent sloping is 52sloping. 56 sloping is huge and a 54 sloping would be too long a frame, handling would be sluggish.

    56 traditional is now sold out but pm me if you're interested as I have a frameset for sale in mint condition and sounds like we are v similar fit. I rode mine with 76 saddle and 130 stem.

    Velonutter,

    Did you ever put a thread up for the final build in 'Your Bikes'? I've had a search and couldn't find anything.

    6 Wheels link to my bike is hear

    I've just posted up updates to my other Colnagos.

    JoeHoo, you'll need to contact the disty as I think they have disc. the trad frame. I think you'll need either a 52s or at worse the 54s. The 56s is for people who normally ride a 58 or 60 Trad.
