You got some sweet stuff on

You got some sweet stuff on that frame! Plus for the crank and the derailleurs. Nice with a non Campa/Shimano set-up.

Thank you

I am decidedly anti-Shimano. That doesn't mean that they don't make some good equipment or that I don't have their component gruppos on a few of my bikes. When it comes to my favorite frames or those I purposefully build up I don't tarnish them with Shimano components. With the Colnago for instance I was looking for the best components that I could afford and that complemented the quality of the frame. I am very happy with the way it came out and it never ceases to amaze me when I ride it. It took two years to build and is quite worth it.

A dream come true

Submitted by Ruffinit on 09/22/2009.

The frame took like 3 months after placing the order and then took another 2 years to put together. I'm waiting for my new tubulars to come in to finish building out the new wheels for it. Mind you that I've owned the frameset since 1985.
