Yeah the steerer is still too long, I'm just riding it long enough to be sure I have the drop where I want it, then it will be shortened :) The wheels are actually from my Cervelo... the white labels are subject to change as well.

Colnago V1-R I had told you guys a while back that I was building a V1-R as well. I just got it completed. I haven't ridden it much yet, but it feels much like the C60 so far, perhaps a little more "buzzy". Let the Shimano and Ferrari logo bashing begin :) Colnago V1-R by John Cothron, on...

I own an S5... C60 is in another world by comparison, and I really like the S5.

That De Rosa is a pretty bike for sure.

LOL, he must be an extremely busy man then!... having to slap all of his own marketing people :) http://colnago.com/c60-italia-2014-2-2/?lang=am

Yes, that would be the same one. I don't think he has the same level of fitness he had then, but then 75% of it is more than most around here can contend with. He can roll when he wants to. He is a partner in an LBS now.

I don't know if any of you know who Nathan O'Neill is, but I ride with him quite a bit. Not only can he rip your legs off without even trying..lol, but his comment to me one time was that out of the hundreds of different bikes he has ridden in his life/career.. the C60 was by far the best frame...

Thanks! 7.25kg to be exact. That's with cages and everything. I'm relatively heavy at 185 lb., but I can tell you the bike 'rides light' if that makes sense. I like it so much, I'm doing a V1r as well.

LOL... I hear you. I'm just not a Campy guy and didn't want to change now. I stayed Italy as much as I could, although the wheels aren't Italian either.

I'm sure most of you gentleman have far more experience than I do, but I'm posting as I'm a recent convert. I've ridden Specialized, an older aluminum frame that was nice but harsh. I've ridden Cervelo... which is a bike/frame I grew to love over the year plus that I was riding it...
