Defo need more of a setback post really (this is already 25mm) but this is a colnago (well, Selcof with Colnago logos on) one...
I'll see what I can find on the web.

I run Red now and have never used Campy but it's my understanding that's standard for their feel.

My new build: Waterford RS-11
Frame is circa 2001, but was just repainted by Waterford.

This came in the post today.
Only thing I put on were the (cheap) wheels.
I've been after a lugged carbon, standard geometry frame since I got into this road biking lark.
I intend to redo the bar tape in black and get some Vittoria Open Corsas in black on there for now, then think of maybe upgrading the Chorus 10sp...
It fits me like it was custom made for me, I've been looking every day for the C50 in my size at a good price and I think, for the price, I struck absolute eBay Gold!!
I love the finish on the lugs.

Beautiful bike but for the love of god please have someone take a look at your fit and see if you really need the bars at that angle.

I'm a guy, but I ride an old womens 10-speed bicycle--st. tropez 440, black with drop bars. It was only 30 bucks! I think its a french brand, but possibly made in Taiwan (I can't find the "made in" tag.). I use it for commuting--I'm always in a hurry! I've only performed basic maintenance (hub and BB overhauls) and added a longer seat tube. I have to re-wrap the handlebars. I've put at least 2000 miles on it (I stop keeping a close count after a thousand.) and it's doing fine.

I know the bars are angled way too high. I took the pic from a low vantage point. Also, I am trying out new positions before I change out the stem.
