Nakoota Posted May 24, 2018 Posted May 24, 2018 The bug bit... bad. After being fortunate enough to get hold of an immaculate C59 team edition from a fellow hubber, I still couldn't shake the desire to get my hands on an original art decor C40 (After this I will be getting a titanium Colnago too). After looking at the ad for weeks - telling myself I mustn't, I shouldn't, the money is better spent elsewhere. I said to hell with it and bought this from another hubber:
Nakoota Posted May 24, 2018 Author Posted May 24, 2018 I have a few current questions:Any way to tell titanium BB from aluminium other than trying to guess if it's colour is silver vs dark grey metal? Anyone have a secret source for 1 inch headsets as I only have the record headset cups. Any idea on what this paint scheme was designated, I can't find it on another b-stay model on google, only on the mk1/mk2's with slight variations. Regarding the paint, I want to leave the art decor as is - bar some minor scuffs on the drive side chain stay and one tiny scratch near the b-saty logo it is otherwise perfect. I do however want to touch up the black around the dropouts and touch up the clear coat in one or two spots. Thoughts on this?
Cippo Posted May 28, 2018 Posted May 28, 2018 Ask these guys on Vleisboek as to paint code. They usually answer within a day.https://www.facebook.com/ColnagoOwnersPCP/

I said to hell with it and bought this from another hubber:I may have a headset for you in my stash - you say 1 inch. I had some extras. I have a C40 BStay which i bought from Alan van Heerden for about R 18500 in about 2000 or 2001. I also want to get it touched up to original. My colour scheme is similar - will send you pics if you like. Its running 10 speed Record on it at the moment.

Let me know if you do have a headset as I was not able to find anything other than a chris king from overseas.

Nakoota Posted June 3, 2018 Author Posted June 3, 2018 Got a chance to clean off and degrease the "new from The Hub" groupset today. As costs are escalating quickly I also opted for my existing Arione rather than a new one - the cover just needs a slight touch up on the white lines otherwise it is good. I have an incoming order from merlin with the Chris King NoThreadset, look Keo 2 Blade pedals and new Super Record italian thread BB cups.
Nakoota Posted June 3, 2018 Author Posted June 3, 2018 Nice did u buy that grouppo from a hubber in CT? A very nice hubber in CT
Kalahari Vegmot Posted June 3, 2018 Posted June 3, 2018 Isn't it sacrilege to build a C40 with anything but Record Titanium 10s?
Nakoota Posted June 3, 2018 Author Posted June 3, 2018 Isn't it sacrilege to build a C40 with anything but Record Titanium 10s? I think I might just be ok with sacrilege. When i find a decent 10s Record groupset I can always rebuild classic.
