Not. jealous. at. all.

I think my super record 2012 grouppo would look ok on that frame ;-)

Looks like it will be sweet, but I would have gone with black hubs and spokes

Looks ok, but the C60 is nowhere near as nice a frame aesthetically as the C59. And defo black hubs.

This is going to be very good!

Nice very nice, well jealous, remember the complete photos.

That's going to be some bike. Look forward to seeing the finished article.

Yes its very nice saw one in the flesh sat at sigma sport, but I think the tubes are to big.
I was going to order one soon but will stick with my c59 for now.

Fantastic build but give it some decent tyres! Veloflex, Challenge or Vittoria with latex tubes, a bike like that deserves proper tyres.

Where the hell did you get bike "stand", from?!

It even has it's own vital signs chart clipboard thingy!

Oh, nice bike too...

antlaff

Damn...damn....damn...love it...but not the spokes!!

Devastazione

Nice bike,but by canning the C59 for this Colnago made a huge mistake IMO. Very few used C59 available now and their prices stay solid.

tlw1

I like that!

Philly8mt

Love it so far ... Incl the spokes!

Ya lucky bugger

pippi_langsamer-2

I think the hubs n spokes look ok. Showey? Of course! But you don't buy a frame like this for the understatement do you....

One of our guys had a new C60 on our Sunday club ride; all white frame with the exception of an italian flag on the seat tube. Looked pretty stunning, but spoilt by putting Dura Ace Di2 on it.

Hi any chance of a final build weight check, will surely be around the the 6kg mark if not below with those wheels ?

Crozza: that is about the weight I am anticipating, given spec-wise thats a near identical build, but I have slightly heavier clincher wheels

Velonutter

I'd also be surprised, I have 2 C59's and the SR equipped manual version with Bora Ultra 2's and 3T ARX LTD finishing kit comes in at just under 7.0Kg, the SR EPS one comes in at just over 7.0Kg, so I think 6.5kg is a more realistic figure.

Weight makes no odds with Colnago's anyway as they are just beautiful to ride, enjoy.

ilm_zero7

were are almost there - the stem is a temp, whilst waiting for the Colnago white stem to arrive.. Wegiht inc pedals 6.81 kg

Super cool

It would be nice to see a good set of photos of this, the rearward angle is pretty unflattering. Can't make up my mind whether this colour scheme looks great or a dog's dinner! In real life does it seem dominantly white or light silver by the way?

Yeah, but side on photos don't tell the story and it looks plain white in that photo. It would be nice to see a bunch of well taken photos from different angles not just some tweaked promo shots.

ilm_zero7

there are things to change still - the stem to a colnago one, and I'm not happy with the bar tape, but 'built' pictures a re here - Apologies for the 'fog' its 60% humidity

Get in!
