For Sale Colnago C40 SRAM Force 57cm

Hello all,

Selling my C40 I bought on here a few years back. 57cm square.

I had to make a lot of improvements to the spec I received. Unfortunately the steerer tube on the original forks were cracked so had to replace them immediately just with Columbus minimal. I still have the original forks which I think can be fixed professionally. These will be included.

Handle bars and stem are Zipp SL corsa. Replaced the headset with Chris King no threadset. Original Colnago seatpost. Fizik Arione VS Saddle.

Curiosity got the better of me and I replaced the DA7800 (a lot of the components were fried) with new Force 22. Think I prefer the shifting of Shimano but it has been a great upgrade. Compact (50/34) 11spd (11/32).

Cosmics very recently replaced. New wheels have seen about 15 miles riding since being built up for £375. DT350 hubs on Kinlin XR 22T rims. Sapim race spokes. Apologies for the tires...

Really nice frame as people who have ridden Colnago C series bikes will know. There are some chips on the frame and wear which is pretty much unavoidable over 20 years. Nothing serious, no cracks.

Look pedals won’t be included but will provide some Shimanos .

Struggling to price this one, spent a lot of money on it so will go £1,500 ONO. (Now £1,200)

Let me know if there are any questions. Collection only (for now). Located Archway, North London.

Love this!

Lovely bike! I have a C50 in the exact same colour scheme - GLWS

As do I on a Dream. Have a free bump.

Pics of the crack? I might be interested in frameset if/when you split.

Might be too big though...

Hi Anidel, there aren’t any cracks. There is a chip near the cable guide which is pictured above.

Wednesday price drop as this needs to go, eventually.

Do you have the original forks ?

Yes, as pictured on the original thread (link in the main description). They will need to be repaired as the steerer tube is worn. See photos. There is a very small grove halfway down and a chip in the top.

Looks quick. I wonder if it would be possible to mask off the 'Colnago' logos thus emphasising the 'Force' ones ....?

Think I’m going to keep the frame, forks and cockpit.

Does anyone fancy taking the wheels for £220? Details of the build above.

In case you wanted the star carbon forks.

Legend! Thank you

Your C40 will be 1 inch steerer not 1-1/8 , later c50 was that size

Quite right, only had eyes for the price on my brief review
