I've had the frame for a couple years just hanging around trying to decide how to build it up. I purchased it used with less than 300miles on the clock. The entire build was very inexpensive as I had all the components in my used parts bin except the stem/post.

Colnago CT1 with full carbon Flash fork w/Record Ergos/frt/rear derails and brakes, Zipp cranks, Ritchey WCS "wet" black stem/post, Fizik saddle, BB bar, "vintage" SSC Mavic Ksyriums, pedals will be Keos, bottle cages are Bontrager, bar wrap Salsa, computer will be a white Cateye Strada.

Happy Birthday to me!
