Well done, Fantastic bike at a great price.

Quick question:

 

For the Colnago C59 I have seen two variations of the team edition (12BK I think). One is raw matte carbon and the other seems to have a clear coat (per the images of the Europcar bike below.

 

Would the clearcoat have been a custom addition or did Colnago supply the option?

 

Just asking because I note that the white paint on the non-clearcoat one holds dirt quite readily.

Congrats. Now you need to get a C40 to see where it all started. When you done with that you gonna need a Master for some nostalgic Sunday rides to the coffee shop.

 

Let's not forget the Titanium one too.

I've always admired Colnago's from afar but never really felt the need to own one. The problem I seem to be developing is that whenever I see this thread pop up I have an overwhelming need to open it and drool over the latest (and i must admit I really like the old classics) of what Colnago is offering.

It also doesn't help that my riding buddy can't seem to stop buying them and forcing me to stare at the damn things all through our rides together.

I sense that i may be getting myself and "our" budget into trouble sometime in the future.

Must not look....must be strong...resist.....damn it's pointless  :(

Afaik the team editions were not custom. Their was a white one as well. The only custom ones you could'nt get was the yellow and KOM versions from TDF. If you dnt like the matte finish it can always be redone in gloss without changing the decals.
