New Bike Day! - Colnago Classic

I picked up this Colnago Classic last weekend. Sharp eyed forum members with a decent memory may have recently seen this bike posted.

It’s equipped with mostly Campy Veloce mixed in with some Mirage. She has a few beauty marks but the ride is sublime.

The straight blade fork always takes some visual expectation reset but bike looks nice...

could use a black painted steel stem.

Very nice, congrats! 👍 I agree, a black stem would look better. 🤔

Nice bike. I noticed right away that the colors closely match the colors in your avatar. New bike day, whether brand new or new to you, is always a bit of excitement.

I do have a Bell's Oberon jersey which should look great with it.

I saw that posted and pondered the internal conflict I would endure if it were a 58-60. Fine bike!
