Photos don't do it justice, I had a light metal flake put in the paint which is only visible in the sunlight.
Regarding headsets, I never noticed the Stronglight in my research, I have had a Chris King headset on order now for nearly four weeks. It is getting custom made anodised in the Italian flag colours.
What wheel set are you running?
I love the wheel set I found. I bought Campag Shamal Titanium, they are a deep V with minimal spokes.
I was told they would take 9-11 speed cassettes but after buying an Athena 11 speed, found out they won't fit.
I ended up buying a Veloce 10 speed, it is identical to Athena just less one gear, I bought it as it is the polished alloy finish. In hindsight I should have purchased NOS Record 10 speed components.
Attached is a link to some photos of my Colnago build to date:

I'm running Campagnolo Khamsin rims with the G3 spoke pattern. They're a basic clincher at just under 1800 grams. And the loudest freewheel I've ever heard

I am riding next years event in honour of my father who lost his battle with lymphoma 7 weeks ago. He was a great dad, a gifted educator, doting grandfather and just an all round nice guy in the prime of his life. Life's just not fair sometimes. I've been totally gutted by his death but I'm determined to make some positive of this situation, and having something to train/focus towards is sure to help me come to terms with this. My fiance, uncle and brother are are also joining me on the ride (thanks guys!).
Now without getting too mushy there's a lot of guys on the forum here who have been a great help to me whilst I've learnt about bikes, and especially when I started my first restoration (Hol's yellow bike) and whilst I've not met most of you, I genuinely appreciate your help.
If any of you could make a small donation in his honour it would be GREATLY appreciated by myself, and my family. The money goes to the WA Institute of Medical Research, widely regarded as being one of Australia's leading researchers on cancer and other malignant diseases.
The team page where you can donate is located here :
http://pr12.conquercancer.org.au/site/T ... am_id=4375
Kind regards,
Ben
PS : I'll be building a new bike for Holly to ride in the event shortly so stay tuned for that .. and finally finishing the Colnago for myself to ride in the event too!

Ummm, being an Ital bike, wouldn't it have an Ital BB threading? Y'know, both sides are standard thread? No gas threads for the Italians...lunar_c wrote:The build had been going smoothly until I got to putting the bottom bracket in. Unfortunately Ribble sent me two right hand bearing cups so I had to send them back, another 2 weeks until I can finish the build!
At least they paid the postage.

now I get itlunar_c wrote:It's Italian thread.. and of course I ordered Italian thread, so with Italian thread bottom bracket you get one (right hand) cup that has no bearing supplied with it as it's pressed onto the crankset already, the other left bearing has a separate bearing, which of course I didn't get. Understand now?
