C'mon, we all know you're getting new ones just to colour match the bike

Yeah the TCR gives me warm fuzzy feelings...weirdly though the Propel makes me feel slightly nauseous.

Don't look at the Giant Revolt then it will have you vomiting Exorcist style. I'll post a link in the ugly thread, it has no place in this one. If ever there was a more aptly named bike.

Just finished (finally) the build on this frame that I got before Christmas.

Frame is Colnago Active with Campagnolo 10s grouppo, mostly carbon, but all parts other than 'consumables' and cables etc are used/2nd hand and there's a bit of mix in there. All parts on her are Italian except for the seatpost (looking for a suitable one) and tiny bits like gel pads under 'bar tape and barrel adjusters. The frame took an interesting path to get to me, but worth it ! The Bikeradar.com forum was a good source of parts for me.

Thanks to a few of the Campag heads on here (@Countrykid, @Letape and @BCMF) whos assistance and advice was much in demand and always freely given.

Very nice BlaaMan love those old Colnago's. Most of the new one's are not a patch on them.

Remember someone started a thread about coloured tyres and he post a picture of his bike and infairness they did suit the bike. Those yellow tyres on that Colnago however ruin what would normally be a lovely bike imo.

eeeee

I associate the blue and yellow combo with high levels of stress

I quite like it, although the fork and seat stays disappear in that photo.

Lovely machine. I think it would look classier with black tires with tanned sidewalls, the yellow is taking something away from it. (I also dont like the saddle but I don't argue with comfort)

Everything seems to look better when it's Campy...even third party conversion kits.

Very nice BlaaMan - best of luck with it. Don't strain the rear mech too much though!
