There is an Olympic on eBay with 'Soft Paint' written on the top tube. Never saw that before. It's not literal is it? What does it mean/designate?

C-60 frame set I'm drooling over has never been built up. It has a battery charge port. Are all C-60's electric or can you run mechanical also?

thanks

C60s are both mechanical and electronic.

The bits that remain (plugs, guides, catcher) when you go electrics.

I think Colnago Soft Paint means it's a matte finish.

Are you sure it´s not "soft men" ? It´s very high end and comes w/ all sorts of exclusive bits.

'Soft paint' was a paint that was uber 'matte' and almost appeared 'thick', felt kinda funny. DeRosa had this type of paint also. Hard to describe. Almost felt like powercoat, applied really thick and no clear coat to make it dull, matte, looking.

Had one that looked like that but did not say soft paint.
