I'm thinking of going modern campag Athena (alloy of course). Had entertained thoughts of c-record, but would have to be NOS to match the frame

Yes, the dropouts have been checked and it's all good - I did need to prise them open slightly which is what cracked the paint and chrome.
In the meantime it has been ridden super hard in the Canberra Road Racing and Criterium Series. So far the results sheet looks good with a D-Grade win in the Australian Defence Force Road Racing Championships, a couple of Crit firsts (snagged another tonight which paid $50!), and many Crit 2nd places.
A simply magnificent bicycle that at 7.9kg in race trim, is every bit as agile and quick as anything else in D-Grade!

Well done on your fine race record riding your Colnago International - Just goes to show that you can't keep a good bike down (although you might be a big part of the winning formula). It's a very nice bike and I do recall the original post.bpmhigh wrote:1980-something Colnago International with full Dura Ace 7700.

It's good to have a choice.munga wrote:no idea if it was originally specified with the force fork, but that's how i bought it.

I'd love to read your comparison of forks using the same frame. That would be very interesting information.
