    Some may not like the new campag crankset but I wanted to go 52/36 I must say it does look stunning in the flesh
    just waiting for my enves to be built up to complete the changes for next year.

    Nice one Mark! I love all the naysayers who dismiss the new crank. It's not until you see it that you realise it's a bleeding work of art! :-)

    I've seen it. I will concede that it looks mildly less hideous in the flesh than it does in pictures...... :wink:

    This is beautiful. Colnago paint jobs are the best imo. They're all different and look fantastic.

    That is one very pretty frameset!
    I'm a fan of more interesting paint schemes- and that is smoking hot!

    Very nice.

    Can I ask how you have found the EPS? Any problems or faultless?

    I run Record EPS (on Mark's old C59 frame :-)) and I was sadly one of the unfortunate folk who got a duff Power Unit (issue now resolved and also non existant on the V2 PU). But after a replacement was fitted it's been all good and I got some quality milage done on it this year.

    Such a beautiful bike. I am a Colnago convert (I have 3) but have none as beautiful as yours.

    Well done

    I'm curious about the saddle and seatpost combo. Is that a carbon rail Antares? I'll be building my C59 at some stage (a Polka Dot 52s) with the standard Colnago seatpost and didn't think I could use a carbon rail saddle. Any clarification appreciated.

    It works fine. I run a San Marco Aspide carbon saddle on mine. Before that it was a San Marco Concor Racing Carbon FX.

    Righto - thanks for that. Might have to reconsider the Kium railed Aliante I bought. Hmmmmm.

    Thanks again for the confirmation. Just thought the curvature of the standard seatpost jaws was too tight for the larger diameter carbon rails. I'm guessing it's a bit "pinchy" on the rails, though.

    Nearly bid on a 52s AD10 on ebay today. Seller never built it up and was looking to upgrade to a C60. Very small lacquer chip on the top tube. It was at £1240 with minutes to go, and ended up at £1750. A good buy for someone, and a nice colour scheme, but I don't need another.
