Colnago C40 Geo restoration completed. Picked the bike up last Christmas and had a new clear coat layer applied (which took 7 months) cleaned all the components and switched saddle, stem and handlebars (and shot here with Extralite Hyperclinch wheels. Final weight 16.5lbs. Now off for a first ride...

Obviously you are a serious photographer and I wanted to say that I love the technical quality of this photo. So sharp that you can read the lettering on the tires. Minimal depth of field but both brake levers are still in focus. The yellow leaves complement the similar color on the bike. Gnarled, rusty thing on the left edge for interest. Beautiful.
The gnarled rusty thing is a work of art by Jörgen Martinsson called "Tre väktare" (Three Guards) from 1982. After 25 years in Lund, I never noticed it before I made this shot.

I hope this one makes your blood run thick: 2003 USPS Team 5900 with 7800 stuff. That big Powertap head unit just makes it dirtier.

Thanks! Yeah, I actually really dig it. 7800 Dura Ace stuff has a different era look, but is a total dream to ride -- and I like having the option to put my hands on the big knobs on top of the levers. Someday, I bet the USPS team will at least seem very much part of cycling history. So it's cool to think of this bike being woven into something so large.

Never been a fan of those handle bars, but the bike looks great! 5.52 is some feather light weight too!

Even 5.60 complete is fantastic! Berk has really come out with some great stuff. Curious how his carbon saddle feels and how durable it is.

@coppercook62, I have to say, one of the best looking road bikes I've seen. Huge fan of the black on blue, well done.
Here's my 2005 Giant OCR 1 rebuild, similar look, much more modest. Converted to 1x10 as a fast, fun urban steed. Don't rag on me too hard, I'm aware my valve stems are the wrong length, haha.

That's a slap in the face to say your bike is similar to Coppercooks bike. Just because it has a blue frame, doesn't make it similar in any form or fashion. In fact, it is different in almost EVERY way.

Last updates before I move most of the parts over to the Supersix Evo. Through a series of trades, I now own a set of Enve SES 3.4 laced to CK R45...
