Colnago C59 Build

Posted on
  • After last year’s ANC Halfords Ex team bike restoration, this year’s plan was to build a new Colnago to add to the collection. I got a good deal on a C59, and so the build commences. Going full Italian. More photo’s to follow as it progresses.

  • Stealth. I like!

  • Yeah, great frames! Looking forward to this.

  • Rad.

  • Super record I suppose. It'll be easy to make a monster out of this... ;)
    I'd like to try a c59 with disc brakes!

  • We built one with Dura Ace di2 for a customer, also completely stealth. They're really nice frames!

  • Saddle & bar / stem arrived - groupset & wheels on order

  • Personally I'm not a great fan of Cinelli's Ram and as well not keen on shiny carbon in all the components, especially saddle and bars (a big part of those will be untaped).
    Apart from this aesthetic note, I'm sure is going to be a great bike.
    So going for SR11? :)
    Which wheels did you order?

  • I’m a bit of a traditionalist and got the older version of the saddle & bars on my C40 & C50, so really this build is an evolution of my Colnago collection. Wheels will be Campag Bora Ultra 35 black label (already have the Ultra 2 50mm). Groupset Super Record EPS. The frame & seat post have flashes of high gloss black so shiny carbon should blend in OK I hope otherwise an expensive mistake

  • Been busy training & working but last week the wheels, and groupset arrived so my LBS are going to have some fun over the next few weeks building it.

    Have gone for Campagnolo Super EPS with Bora Ultra 35 wheels. Best of which are the tubulars, the team I ride for are sponsored by Continental so got my hands on some Competition Pro Ltd

  • Oof

  • Can't get on board with the stem but I'd be willing to overlook that.

    Shall we say £1,500?

  • Bars are Cinelli RAM the sloping top tube makes them look more angled than they actually are, its a pretty low flat front in the light of day

  • Awesome one campag man to another
