Headset is a Cane Creek one, might consider getting a Chris King one as I think it'll look better, but thats another upgrade for another time. The groupset looks absolutely beautiful and makes me not want to risk damaging it by riding it. It's built up with a Campagnolo 80th Anniversary Groupset, yes I know that the purists out there will say its not period correct, but I wanted something modern (11 Speed) since it had 135mm spacing. ![]() Its an old frame and hence isn't in the best condition, with quite a few scratches here and there. Also, I looked at some other posts about C40 Mapeis and realised that the paint scheme is slightly different (C40 words on seat tube) and was wondering if there were different versions of this paint scheme. If anyone can identify it please let me know. I think its a mk2 or mk3, but can't be too sure. Thought about it for 2 weeks and ended up going back to get this C40 frame. After a short chat, he told me that he had a crash a few months ago and was looking to sell off a couple of his bikes. ![]() Short story behind this bike went to pick up a pair of Ultegra pedals I found online and when the seller opened the room of bikes, I was greeted by a wall of Colnagos, with 3 C50s, 2 C40s, a C59 Mapei and a C60 Mapei. No doubt a holy grail for me, the first carbon frame to win Paris Roubaix.
