What road bike do you have?

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

What road bike do you have?

What a nice pair. If I ever go 'new' think it will have to be a Celeste Bianchi.

I've had the lbw for around 7000km now. I'm a Clydesdale with an FTP of 245w so I can put wheels through their paces. These are straight as an arrow and I have not had a single spoke remotely look like it wants to go, fingers crossed. They are light and spin up nice. DT Swiss hubs need no introduction.

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

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!!
2 years later (sponge bob voice) ....

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

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.

Good catch The TCR is my actual bike, the Revolt isn't. I didn't have a chance to take a picture of the N+1 yet so I googled

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.
