All things Colnago

If Colnago are speccing bikes with Shimano, doesn't that make it "ok".?

 

Keep in mind that I have neither Colnago nor Campag. LOL

 

if its deeply wrong and your soul knows it is ...it will never be "ok". :unsure: 

 

shimano and sram are never "ok" on anything italian .

 

doesnt mean it doesnt happen ..just saying .

Sell the Shimano and get 10spd Record for your C40. Yes, the pro teams that rode C40s to WC and Roubaix victories were specced with Shitmano but that was paid for by the sponsors, doesnt make it right. When Europcar and UAE brought Colnagos back on world tour they had Campy. That being said, each to his own. Shimano is good but I'm a Campy fanboy and would only spec Campy on my Colnagos. My EP has Super Record and my C40 is getting 10spd Record.

This groupset sucks, #NoDeltas.

for those with some cash to burn

 

 

Just as a matter of interest, those bottle cages, were they Campy ones? And were they part of the C Record groupset? Titanium? I've never seen those, and would like to know more.

Hey guys, trying to find the right headset for a C40 B-Stay and other than 1 NOS Record headset on ebay, this is the only other one I can find in stock anywhere.

 

https://www.merlincycles.com/chris-king-nothreadset-1-headset-100886.html

 

Is this the right headset fot the bike in terms of type?

 

You'll also be glad to know I put the Shimano flamesuit to bed by getting another super Record 11 Groupset.

 

I also made a thread for this build so I don't clutter this one: https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/177007-colnago-c40-b-stay-build/

O man I love this thread.

 

Sorry about the theft, that’s a beautiful bike and I hope it’s found.

 

Since I was a kid I wanted a Colnago, a little while ago I finally got the chance and built one. I don’t ride road anymore so selling it but I still love it.

 

If anyone is keen here is a link to the sale. https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/309814-colnago-clx-30-price-drop/

 

Here is a pic, been the best road bike I’ve ever ridden.
