Tyres are smooth and roll fast. Only have a couple rides on them so can't comment on duribility

Nice bike, mate! How much does it weigh, without bottles and saddle bag?
I have the same model, but with all stock components. Currently mine weighs about 8kg (which is too much...). I wanna see how much weight I could shave down by making your bike as my reference. Thanks!!

my bike isn’t crazy light, when I built it I just wanted reliable components that could climb or go fast... that said, currently at 7.7kg. To put it on a diet I could run clinchers with super thin tubes on 25s but i traded for comfort and control with tubeless 32s. Yep they fit, but heavy. Only other really heavy component is the ultegra cassette, a sram one piece would shave off over 100g. Happy trails

I have a 1995 Tecnos that had an 8 speed Chorus group on it when I bought it in 2001. About three years ago I found this Record 10 speed triple group (Chorus shifters) on EBay and made the bike more old guy friendly.

That’s a beautiful bike!
Mine is a ‘95 also, bought it new in NYC, working at Toga Bike Shop as a fitter. Still have all Campy Chorus 8 speed. I like your upgrades, could use the same myself. Beside these being beautiful, nothing rides quite like this era of steel Colnagos. Bianchi was a great ride from this rea as well. Abraham Olano won the World’s on this ride!

Latest that I finished about a month or so ago. So Far I've just ridden around the block in the neighbor hood. Waiting to get some good pictures before I go for the "real" ride.

My humble and dependable CAAD8.
My commuter bike (sorry for the ugly stem adaptor), Built it myself from a Giant R1000 chromoly frame that I got for just Php3500 (around $70), and old parts from my CAAD8.
