11 or 10spd alloy Colnago.

Gazzetta67

Hi.
I have a 8 years old Colnago extreme. I am finding it tough to source 10 spd silver alloy parts for a retro build pref Athena or Centaur. If anyone knows a dealer with older parts I'd be glad to hear. Failing that would 11spd work ok on this frame. I have 2006 Campag record hubs.cheers.

11 speed will fit, but you need to check if your wheels are 11 spd compatible, you may need a new free hub.

11 spd will make it a lot more expensive though, I keep looking for older 9 or 10 spd stuff. I not a campag man, but isn't the 9spd stuff supposed to be very highly rated by those in the know, for both performance and aesthetics? You might find 9spd chorus is as cheap as 10 spd Athena.

Campag hubs are compatible with 10 and 11 speed so you are okay on that front.
11 speed Campag parts seem to be cheaper than 10 speed these days so that justifies an Athena "upgrade". 8)

I had 2012 11sp Chorus fitted to my 8 year old Extreme C. No dramas.
