Tech 00's Retro Build

Just model it @Mlac Peek s colnago That was released in conjunction with the stone roses single "fools gold" as a special offer to colnago owners who simply adore the stone roses. (And the wah-wah peddle)
He snapped it up from a swede in the 2000s on a payment plan after 2 consecutive singles failed to chart. So that still counts right?

Are you the original owner? Such a beautiful bike.

Cheers @leicaman - correct on both counts. I bought the frame in 1996 and had it made up with Dura Ace 7400 parts all of which are still in good working order. Some bits have changed over the years - the BB was replaced with NOS two years ago, I swapped out my old Controltech seat post for a Thomson at the same time, and the saddle is the sleek carbon Selle Italia SLR but used to be a Selle Italia Flite titanium, which I still have hanging around in some dusty corner of my bike room. I have the original wheel sets too (custom made Akamatsu hubs on Ambrosio rims & Dura Ace 7400 hubs on Mavic GP4 rims) but am riding my Visions on her these days.
