Black Colnago C60 - Help with build ideas

[tv_vt]

That frame is so nice looking, no matter what you do with it, it's gonna look outstanding. Hope it rides as well.

Actually looks like it could fit me, which is rare for all the Colnagos posted on here. That was a Clean find?

I saw it on FB in Sydney and I do work there, so a friend is bringing it back to the US for me. Lucky circumstances.

If it's too big, will be posted here in the next few months. I can catch/release without too much financial harm. This was a chance to try a brand I always was curious to experience. Next I need to find a budget peg... lol

Have you considered running EPS, Di2, or Etap?

A budget Peg is easily obtained, simply by increasing your budget

I thought Campy was a good starting point and I have a Record 11 set in a box that I have never used. If the frame fits, I may invest more, but there's a chance it's too long.. I ride a 61/62 normally, this might be long.

I'll upgrade if it fits right..

I had Campy SR11 on my C60. I used Deda bar/stem. My impression was that it was a balanced nice riding bike. Some say that a slightly smaller frame with a longer stem creates a more favorable dynamic. I can’t say if that is true for the majority of riders. I hope it works out for you.

Maybe it's just the blurry picture you posted but I have a feeling you will run into trouble as soon as you go to string up the shift cables/housing

That looks like an electronic only C60 to me- no cable stops on the lower head tube lug to run mechanical shifting internally through the downtube.

Elite Link rules, but definitely go black over silver.

A-whatever matches the seatpost and bars
B-Deda

Read the short description, you're all-set! Looks like a super-fun bike and sharp build. Try to keep all-Italian components on it.

The only positive of having too many parts around, is you can pivot if things change. I can switch to eTap 11 if it needs wireless and put the campy on the bike that donates the eTap. I'll know for sure in a couple of weeks...

This. Add a subtle tri-color in there. Just one!

I found the original purchase pictures and took a closer look. This frame is e-group only.

My bad for not noticing when buying the frame. All good, I'll pivot the build.

So eTap 11 (on hand), or...

Find a campy e-group for better looks?
