As originally noted, this won't be another garden variety all Campy equipped spec build. IMHO, I'm bored seeing the same matched gruppo's.

Years ago when I acquired new a Colnago Mexico (sadly and later stolen) it was about saving up for select trick components. One would compare all the little details and have more of a personalized bike. Mind you, none of it was cheap but the rich were the ones who could pick a frame and complete group and have it built right away. Envy? Not at all. Those were good days and part of the cycling experience.

This frame size is pushing my fit limits but quite satisfied with it. It has an 80mm stem reach which should quicken the directional transition. I'm not sure just yet how much it'll affect weight transfer or feel over the front. With the 'old school' rake and trail I'm hoping it'll be fine and not dance too much on fast descents. I'll pull the front spoke tension on the GP4 tubular rims to slightly over recommended spec.
