Colnago Extreme POWER! Update pg 3

Work in progress. After years of lusting after one since they came out a few years ago I've wanted a Colnago Extreme Power in ST01 paint. I've been checking eBay and classifieds almost every day.
Finally. FINALLY! One came up. In my size. In my budget!
It came today and I'm SOOO happy.
Frame/fork/seatpost Colnago Extreme Power size 59
Group- Full Campagnolo Super Record Ti
Wheels- Wheelsmith built. IRD cadence road rims, extralight front/Campag record rear hubs. Cx ray spokes. Weigh just over 1400g not bad far a set built for a big guy!
Tyres- Veloflex Master with latex tubes
Stem is a 3T Arx Team, bars Deda zero 100. Undecided on stem, fancy a deda superleggero, and front end needs to be dialled in.
Also need to fit bottle cages.
Speedplay pedals.
Need to fit chain, cables, tape too.
I also have some Wheelsmith carbon tubs- 50mm gigantex rims, pmp hubs, cx ray spokes.



Photos don't do the metallic paint/bare carbon justice. As is usual with Colnago paint jobs.

Deda stem and seatpost would be a good choice
Make sure you post some pics up!!

My Canyon Ultimate AL frame arrived today, I feel a right Cinderella in comparison.

Get a thread started.
I have literally (and I mean literally) been looking for one of these used in this colour/size since 2007 at least once every other day! (it originally had a different, red, font and a splash of white)

I just like the way that you couldn't wait to post it completed, kid in a candy shop.
Heh, I started putting the parts on as soon as I'd got it out of the box and inspected it. I would have ridden it too if it hadn't been for those meddling kids, err, missing bits.

I will do, no laughing though as it's circa 1996!!!

Fuoriclasse super extreme nero bicicletta.
That's a bike.
But! Didn't particularly rate the BU2s for the money despite them looking stunning and whilst the classic bend looked good the RHM bar is far far more comfortable for me since my back broke.

I've ordered a Deda stem

Good good, we wouldn't want to have to cull you now would we

Surely a Colnago is like owning a supercar.. who cares about how practical it is!?!?
I'll reserve my judgement until its built up fully though - bars might look better with tape on etc.
I found the BU2 flexy and the breaking poor. They weren't even particularly light for carbon tubs. The hubs were a thing of beauty though and they look cool. The Wheelsmith built tubs I have are much better wheels.

EDIT: just looked again. Love it!
