Colnago C40 Lampre - from classy to modern rage

And whilst this is entirely personal / aesthetic preference, I think this bike would look rad with some moderately shallow trad-bend bars.

I know, but the compacts are comfy :(

Thinking about bottle cages... Titanium or crabon?

King cages, or nitto...

That cockpit shot is pure win for me.

Definitely crabon on the cages.

Deffo Skinny Ti Cages... Otherwise you will overwhelm the bike with modern plastic.

Gotta keep the balance - King Ti.

the Arundel stainless cages are pretty nice and minimalist, a fraction of the price of King cages too

the Arundel stainless cages are pretty nice and minimalist,** cost the same** as the King Cages too.

Ftfy.

Both are awesome cages.

My bad, I was thinking of the Ti ones.

I really like my Lifeline Ti cage. Very minimal and cheap as cheap chips. http://www.wiggle.co.uk/lifeline-titanium-bottle-cage/

+1 on the cockpit, BTW. Nice!

I have already a pair of arundel, best shape on the market for sure, but I'm not sure about the colour, I wish they made them in gunmetal too...

Sweet! Really dislike nago's but this is incredible.

Without a doubt the best looking bike on the forum

What stem is this?

Arundal carbon cages wold look nice

What stem is this?

This stem.
Got Beyond Black model in sale at kinoko, it's -17 90mm.

breso this is a fantastic build.

I am currently doing something similar with a Fondriest X-Status. (modern group/ wheels/ finishing kit)

I also went with Zipp Course SL (Stem and Seatpost) with 4Za Cirrus Pro Compact drops (quite hi tech looking for some).

My vote is for carbon cages.
