    No, no, no, not until someone cuts a bit off the front brake inner cable.

    I thought all images of beauty had to use a spanking clean kitchen as its background

    wow Scrappy600, talk about pissing on people's shoes! your opinion may not go down well with others, IMHO, the colnago in question is nothing spectacular & I have to agree with you.

    Much prefer the matt black C60. Earlier one had me in a state of "meh."

    i love colnagos but the art decor look (particularly in the purple) is at odds with the particularly modern look of the sculpted 60 lugs. the block colour suits the frame better imo. Overall though i prefer the C59, think its a far superior colnago aesthetically, more elegant than the more angular c60.

    Not cracked about Colnagos myself. I must be a youngster with no refinement or class, but I find them a bit boring for my tastes.

    I only liked the art decor paint jobs on the thin tubed steel frames.

    I completely agree. They are generally quite bland IMO. I couldn't give a steel Colnago frame away in the early 2000s, wasn't fashionable enough yet.

    The new aero Colnago is not bad looking. I like my carbon bicycles to look unique.

    still an outstanding bike by any accounts, but when I was in the USA, any italian bike was frowned upon if it didn't have Campy…… http://seacroftwheelers.myfreeforum.org/archive/classic-colnago-with-shimano-right-or-wrong__o_t__t_734.html

    but that;s just an opinion and campy is not as popular in Ireland as in the USA….. I'll swap you :)

    I asked as I wondered where you were coming from that's all ..
    Bikes not actually mine but a friend who prefers shimano for years ..
    Im a campy fan ... A die hard one..
    BUT .. I have a c59 and I too put DA 9000 on it as after riding it I was blown away by its performance ..
    I think if your spending the coin my pal did on the 60 you'd be better served putting the best you can afford on it .. And right now I reckon that's DA ..
    I had SR on my previous EPS and in all honesty it wasn't as good as the DA ..
    It's that simple for me in my old age ..
    ( I do have a c40 with campag though ;-))

    That's good to know, I am very happy with the DA on my bike as well, even the Ultegra 6800 on my winter bike is great , but hearing it from someone who has had both makes it a good decision-I guess its more like bike poser stuff, but you've explained it and justified it for me :)

    The c59 is a beauty too drool……


    Post a pic of the c40?
