Colnagos have a special place for me (raced against a guy a lot that we would battle in Sprints)
Nice whip!

Does he have the SL or SLR? Iām spoiled by the color, and with so many awesome new bikes coming in Blahck or matte colors, its just such a depressing world out there anymore.
That C60 is sweet.
FWIW - Colnago will provide the current frames for rim brakes but it is a special order. My shop just ordered in a C64 and is building it with Campy SR. Beautiful machine (not mine).

He has the SLR
In the Pacific Northwest where long, steep, wet descents are a common occurrence I have to respectfully disagree that disc brakes are super unnecessary. Disc performance has been a game changer here. But I do covet the lines of rim brakes, if i lived anywhere with consistently dry weather Iād likely be on the rim crew!
I bought the same frame and built it up with existing 11sp etap I had. I added Dura Ace brakes and also went with the aerofly bar. I really, really like the bike and when I put HED black wheels on it donāt feel like Iām giving up much in breaking compared to my disc brake gravel bike.
Yeah, havenāt convinced myself of the need here in San Diego. My dura ace and Ultegra rim brakes are just fine.
Now resigned to my winter/ inside trainer bike after succumbing to the discs a couple of months agoā¦!
Re-built my gravel rig earlier this year. Had a lot of fun having my Trek Crockett re-born for some rad gravel adventures. Custom blue color with purple flake.
Specialized for years, but changed it up this year. Edmonds SLR, Disc, AXS, 12 beautiful speed cassetteā¦ Really enjoying the bike, and still getting used to it. Now I can keep my Sworks rim brake bike on the trainer and no more tear down. Loving that the most.
Slight tangent, but how do you find the elaston saddle?
For sure. I had 4 sets of wheels I wasnt willing to just blow out to move to disc brakes. I also dont like disc to much as the ones I have had on other bikes always I mean always seem to make noise alllllll the time.
The grass needed a cut in this pic - sorry
Probably my last rim brake bike but I love riding it so iām in no rush to āupgradeā
I like it a lot!
I have been using a Elaston Saddle for 2 seasons now and I have never gotten a saddle sore with it and it really engages my sit bones. I ride the saddle level with the nose just hair up and its great.
I actually run a Power Saddle on all of my bikes minus my TT/Tri bike that has the new Sitero Pro on it which also works great for me!
I recommend the saddle a lot!
I like the Canyon line a lot - I see a lot of people run pink accents, I just dont think I could pull it off!!!
Thats great! I got into Gravel this year and love it!!!
I am with you - I still have a lot of rim brake products.
That is a fantastic looking road bike! I like the looks of Ridley, they have never really been popular in my area though.
Very nice! I historically have only had Trek in my garage and started mixing it up.
I really like the new stuff they are doing with the storage integration/lights etc etc its pretty cool.
