Colnago Master Piu Neoretro Build

[@jamesdelgado2009]

I just finished watching your re-build of this bike to Athena and have to say, I could go either way - this setup here looks awesome. But all silver does as well but that's the easy way to do it. This build with the carbon parts is a bit more daring, and it works too.

[@kap4001]

Nice bike! I like the neoretro concept. In fact, I‘ve built something similar, classic 1970s steel frame with modern wheels and silver components.

[@biketailor]

Yeh, I had a different Colnago a while back that I built up with Campag Athena and it looked retro, but was 11sp and rode beautifully

[@gmadruga]

Beautiful bike! Those brakes are a piece of art!

[@biketailor]

Yeh, I love them, functional art. Thanks for watching!

[@jamesdelgado2009]

I am thinking I need to add a steel Colnago to my stable... Subscribed!

[@biketailor]

Cheers 🙏

I'm now 70 and own a work of art. The frame is Serotta (1982) with Campagnolo, Dura Ace a Mavic crankset and a well-worn Brooks saddle. I wonder what will become of it when I pass. (has a really old Campi seat post - the most beautiful seat post ever!) I should probably sell it to someone who would appreciate it - rather than just die and let it fall into uncaring hands.

I only do white tape and saddle on my bikes so kudos. The black bits looked really good, and im presently doing that on a DeRosa nearlybthe same blue….new build looks great, but makes the black Crankset a bit of an eyesore on an otherwise great looking setup

[@biketailor]

Thanks for the comment John. Im starting to feel that way about the crankset too. might swap over to the 10sp group soon. Your DeRosa sounds great!

[@jamesdelgado2009]

Forgot to mention, back in the day, the 80s, when black stems and bars kind of came into vogue, it was not uncommon to see all silver groupset with a black cockpit. I don't remember many black seat posts except for the carbon Campy seat posts of the early 90s. I think American Classic had one back then. I never did this personally until just recently. I used a black 3ttt stem and bar combo with 11-speed carbon Campy SR controllers and and rear derailleur with the rest being silver 11-speed Athena. It came out great and is the only black stemmed bike I own.

[@jadur]

The same here. I got the grandis from 90-x on 8 speed record/chorus. Thinking that turning it to Modern group will be a distraction

[@JohnCollins-th8hm]

Cool vid.

[@ilhamhabibie215]

Really love to see the current set ups! Great job!! Question. Did you cold set the rear axle width or is it already fit the 11 speed cassette?

[@biketailor]

@@ilhamhabibie215 it was already at 130mm spacing. Not sure if that was from when it was built or if someone before me had it re spaced 👍

[@ilhamhabibie215]

@@biketailor Cool!! Thanks!

[@vittorioqwerty]

nice vid! i feel very weird weather i like it or not

[@biketailor]

fair enough. aesthetics are a very personal thing. For me, the gumwalls and matching saddle/bartape with the downtube logo are what i love. It rides so smoothly and solidly. Loving it. Thanks for watching.

[@gjmob]

That bike came out with a black 3ttt Colnago stem and silver 3ttt handlebars.

[@jamesnarlesky4622]

Black crankset is a distraction. You asked for comments, nothing personal. Cheers.

[@biketailor]

Yeh, I’m thinking the same the more I’m with the bike. Probably will change it when I have a 10 speed chain and cassette. Cheers for the comment

[@neilvdo]

Does the Force AXS crank work well with the 11 speed Force drivetrain?

[@biketailor]

It did, but when I had it on the piu it was running 12 speed

[@mufc7753]

Is is it for sale?

[@biketailor]

I hadn’t planned on selling it, but will consider offers. Send me an email at [e-mail]

[@mufc7753]

@@biketailor Probably way too high for me.

[@waltertao9367]

classic frame should have classic groupset

[@biketailor]

Haha, I knew I'd upset some people. Best part of a classic frame is how easy it is to work on and swap parts, so maybe ill start looking for a full Campagnolo C-Record groupset and swap it all over at some point. Thanks for watching.

[@petergiourelas3753]

The black looked terrible, sliver and alloy only on classic bikes
