Since 2001, over 90,000 cyclist's have joined Cycling Forums to discuss topics from general cycling to equipment, training, racing and travel or vacation destinations (especially in europe during the tour de france). We also feature an great deals in our online store, 100's of articles, classifieds and product reviews.

So here is my dream coming true. At 41 year of age. Better at 42, then never. I guess.
Until last year Colnago C50 was outside my reality. Due to lucky circumstance and inspiration from a friend I made the purchase 2 weeks ago from Maestro (http://www.maestro-uk.com/). Colour is NL12.
It will be FUN winter putting this baby together. Moving my Record 2004 gear from my old frame and a few new stuff, should make this bike an inspiration for next years racing season.

Here's a 1985 Trek Pro 560 frame, with an aluminum fork, wide handlebar, lightweight tubulars and Suntour Superbe and Dura Ace components. Only a 6 speed rear, but I rarely use all of them anyway.

just love this thing to death... building a TT next

you want to build something try looking at these frames www.pedalforce.com (http://www.pedalforce.com) especially if you try looking at the carbon weave in black, if you can purchase yourself a set of bp stealth decals you can save yourself over $600 the frame is identical just less the decals :D

It will be FUN winter putting this baby together
Is it done yet? :cool:

Nice bike! One of the older guys in our bike club (Montgomery, AL) rides a lovely R200 in dark green. Very classy, and I dont see many anymore. I liked it so well, that I got the same color in a bike for myself. It's a Waterford 1100. (I'm a steel kinda of guy)
:)

Is it done yet? :cool:
Not yet. Waiting for the FSA K-Force cranks to arrive. But here is a picture as to so far.

Is it done yet? :cool:
And here is the bike I worked on till now. It is friends of mine C40. I did some make over to it. New FSA K-Force bars and 05 carbon stem, Record mini groupo, new tires, new Fizik Arione saddle and etc. It came out very nice.

Is it done yet? :cool:

Finaly. All set for 2005 racing season. Did some serious training (on my LeMondon mounted on a trainer) this winter.
And with this baby it should be fun summer.
Now all I need is better weather ASAP. Can't stand just looking at it.

Nice Colnago! My winter project was an upgrade of a vintage Trek steel race frame. I put on NOS shimano Ultegra 600 deraillieurs, new Dura Ace bar end shifters mounted on the downtubes, a nice light weight Shimano 105/Matrix wheel set and an 8 speed 105 cassette. It looks good and rides great. See on the road somewhere!
