Matias - how do you like it now? Mavic Reflex tubeless hoops with DT Swiss 240 hubs and spokes with Vittorio Cross Evo XG Tubulars.
Visually it looks now more authentic Cyclocross. Two more advantages:
1. They are extreme light and make the total bike enjoyable light too. Total weight of 58 cm frame, Record 10-speed, Compact, 3T carbon handlebar and alu-stem, TRP carbon cantilever brakes, Eggbeater Candy pedals 7,2 kg. It's lighter than my Colnago Extreme Power with autumn/spring tyres Schwalbe Stelvio 23 mm heavy puncture resistant tyres - 7,4 kg.
2. They are really great to ride in soft snow.

Some updates to my White Tricolori Colnago Extreme Power for season 2010.
Last season I updated my wardrobe with black and white Campagonolo 11-speed jerseys and bibshorts. Now it was time to move forward from 10 to 11. Record 10-speed set was to be installed to my new Colnago Cross Prestige.
Another update was to harmonize the seating solution with both Colangos to Selle Italia SRL Team Edition. Know what? I want to book a trip to Canary Islands soon to test drive these improvements.

Some interesting brand history: Cinelli story by Nick PBK.com

Especially Art+Bikes -dimension makes Cinelli unique brand. This is famous art project by Keith Haring, who tuned Cinelli track bike, year was 1987.

More pictures of Colnago Cross Prestige - features for darkness: reflective tyres and Core Bike Wear

MobileMe Gallery - L1070988.JPG

Another great suprice - the ride was even better than the look.
The riding position was great , thanks Velosport specialists. Still some finetuning needed - 46/34 is ok, but 12-25 isn't enougt - need to buy 12-27 instead.
I could even ride on standing position on 5 cm snow without losing the grip of rear tyre. Must be great also on mud. 35 mm Schwalbe Winter Marathon tyres are exellent, they steer, brake and transfer pedaling power to speed.
See how safety is maximised wiht reflective materials on tyre sides and Core Bikewear cycling gears.

Colnago Cross Prestige 2010 finally ready for winter riding

MobileMe Gallery - L1070949.JPG

Here it is. Ready for freezing -10 C° snow rides. I'll get another set of wheels to make bike more authentic Sven Nies Cyclocross bike lookalike - not replica.
Next monday I'll bring them home, Mavic Reflex aluminium rims for tubulars, DT Swiss hubs and black rimms. With Vittoria CC-tubulars the total bike weight (without pedals) was merry 7,2 kg! What a nice suprice.
Here is the link for photo-gallery of Cross Prestige. You'll find some pictures of Colnago Ferrari road bike. (Not mine). With these Campa Zonda wheels and winter tyres the weihgt is 8.4 kg. Not bad at all.

VPCX Cyclocrosscup 2009 Haltialas 12.12.2009 - Upea tapahtuma - Onnea Bat!

MobileMe Gallery - 12.12.2009

Hieno ja kelistä huolimatta lämminhenkinen tapahtuma.
Oma CC vielä pajalla odottelemassa jarruja ja 46 piikkistä eturieskaa. Ensi vuonna mukana.
Ajajien mukaan yllättävän raskas ja vaativakin rata, vaikka näyttä kartalta ehkä helpolsta. Uria, juuria ja upottavaa peltoa. Batin mukaan parinkympin keskari - eli 20 reitti noin tunnissa, useimmilla enemmän. Onnea Kimmo, Matias ja muutkin! Mielekiintoista kalustoa. Katso kuvasato tapahtuman loppuminuuteilta.

Don't hate but not admiring Shimano on road bike or on Cyclocross. Same with Pro, the part brand of Shimano. But but. The difficult choice of parts form my Cross Prestige is now clear. I'll follow the aesthetic style of Sven's bike. Stem, handlebar, saddle, saddle post and brakes. I'll fix some photos later to describe what I mean.

Bike styling. I'll follow Sen Nys with my Colnago Cross Presige.

Why, asks somebody. Fast car is always the most beautiful said Enzo Ferrari. Fast bike is always the most beautifull - so I'll follow pro point of view building my bike under Colnago Cross Prestige frame, fork, saddle post, saddle. But I'm still out of whees, tyres, other set of wheel for winter tyres...
