A Vintage 90s Italian steel Colnago frameset is always a collectors dream
Some may choose to build it up with period correct components to commemorate a unique piece of history
On the other hand vintage steel frames can be absolutely transformed into a performance monster with a modern groupset and wheelset. The accuracy and reliability of modern groupsets, the stiffness of modern wheelsets and low rolling resistance of modern tires complements the revered ride smoothening characteristics of the Columbus steel tubings used in vintage frames.
This particular build adopts the latter approach and attempts to create a contemporary and functional build. The vintage Colnago frameset is equipped with a shimano R7000 groupset and a Fulcrum Quattro Wheelset with Vittoria Corsa tires. The build also includes "traditional" components such as a threaded campagnolo headset and a cinelli quill stem.
