Why the 1960's components? Do it justice and put on full super record instead like it was meant to have during that period. Then you can hang it back. Now it's just like having a Mona Lisa with a crooked smile. Half right!

sick build .. love ur colnago so much bro ! do u ride comfortably with that stem ?
Posted about 12 years ago
Thanks for your reply! I don't ride it bro, i don't want to ruin or even scratch it. The stem is not very comfy, but it gives you a very aerodynamic position.

I know its a bit of a shame, i mean this machine is build to ride. As far as my information is correct, this is a custom build frame for Jan Raas, a Dutch professional between '75 and '85 he won many races incl a stage in Tour de France in late 70s. But he never used this frame, so it was stored in a depot from the Rabobank (till 2012 the most important Dutch cycling sponsor). I bought it from them, yep, they sold is scratch... can you believe it ?

great paint and tubing, really nice

Thank you, tubing is quite unique, never seen an equal framset by Colnago. Ultra thin, the slightest bumb can cause a dent. What i love the most about this frame is the paintjob, very shiny bright blue color with a layer of chrome underneath.
