Just About Ready to Start

[Vamoots58]

Latest project is my 50th B'Day gift from my lovely spouse. Building up a new C59 with Super Record EPS. Waiting for a couple of the final bits to arrive, specifically stem, handlebar, pedals and saddle. Hoping to build up next weekend. Piled up the paint (EPS) and have the canvas (frameset) on the easel, er the rack.

Finally, a frameset where the little red "accents" on SR11 will fit. That's gonna be a sweet rig.

I can't tell which version of EPS power unit you will have. V2.0 seat tube battery pack?

WoW!!

:eek:

Beautiful!

Great bike but I think the comment should be that you're wife rocks to get you that!

Congrats and happy birthday!

[soulspinner]

As good as it gets.

Let me know if the holes for the wires are too small..on the 3 Colnago/C59/EPS I did, all the holes were too small for the connectors..little bit with a round file, no problema but 'may' be an issue. All were V1 battery type, with battery under downtube.

i did notice the 'hole issue' the main difficulty is with the hole in the down tube for the control wire. I did experiment with the file on the magnetic guide wire with the connector and that should do the trick. A little annoying, but oh well! I am using the V2 power unit.

Nice. Looking forward to more photos .

Nice bike, but they come and go.

That woman of yours is a keeper.

Rarely say this....but can't wait to see that thing built. That bike (and the way you've spec'd it) pegs the lust meter!

[jdwertz]

Wow, drooling here. Good luck with your build!

After doing a few of these, stringing the wires is the toughest part by far, even with the Campag wire stringing thing and rod for V2 battery. Tuning it is easy.... Big-big, push 2 mode buttons, blue light, etc, easy

so much awesome!
Happy b'day as well

Gotta love honey-do projects like that. Happy birthday!

That is going to be a molto bene rig- Happy B-day and congrats!

I was pretty surprised how easy EPS was to set up also after watching the Campy You Tube vids. I was too cheap to buy the campy magnet thingy and just taped together the electric connector ends to a end of a campy shift cable to thread them thru the tubes :)

The most time consuming for me was getting the skinny, fragile looking, DTI wire leads were safely tucked/cleanly routed and protected.

Have fun with it!

What a great wife! That thing is gonna be uber sick.

[El Chaba]

Awesome...Have fun building AND riding....

[wallymann]

perfect. as someone mentioned the red accents will complement SR11 nicely.

are the black areas on the frame painted or cleared to allow the CF weave to show thru?

[Vamoots58]

did most of the wiring and component mounting yesterday. I has watched the Campy videos a couple of times and the process was super easy. Should have it put together this week, hoping for a maiden ride next weekend.
