The Holy Grail of cycling in carbon fibre ...

[gridno27]

... for me it is - A 1999s 2nd Gen. Colnago C40 in Team MAPEI coulours
today it's not a real RetroBike - but it has all to become one

It comes in MAPEI Team specification with Shimano Dura Ace group set, FIR Plusar rims, an ITM front and a Selle San Marco ERA saddle.
The 7700 Group set has been complete with a SP-7410 seat post and a HP-7410 Headset, which has a reamed threading to use it for A-head
with the 1 inch Colnago Star full-carbon fork.

Here a few pics to understand what I mean ... with The Holy Grail

Does this get ridden at all?

Great way to hang a bike, looks good.

Do not know about the complete bike but the rims look as if they have been in use.

Yes indeed - it had been ridden Sunday last week for the first time - I rode it full MAPEI-Quickstep dressed, i.e. Italian Champion Mapei M. Bartoli Jersey
and corresponded MAPEI bib and socks.
