Very nice bike... is that a power meter added to your crank, or just a sensor for cadence? Does your Colnago have Campy parts or Shimano? I can't see enough detail in the pics... but I see lots of carbon fiber

Yes, cadence sensor…
There are NO components but Campagnolo for my $.

Colnago C50 STSL
Campagnolo Record 10
Mavic R-Sys wheelset
Fi'zik Airone Wingflex
3TTT Ergosum Carbon 42cm
3TTT ARX Team 120mm
Look Keo Carbon Cr-Mo

The closest match for the car seems to be old Ruby polarized…but I’m open to suggestions.

Suxoticca....... Booo

I thought they were oakleys and because of the shield size the yellow hue appears where it usually doesn't. Oakley or not they look great.

Thanks, they are very similar to prizm road. I’ve ended up with a few pairs of rotors with aftermarket lenses just because they are very inexpensive and offer a bigger selection of colors. I did a little digging on the internet and since Luxotica merged with Ellisior the vast majority of all shades on the market are owned by one company.

A manufacturer respected as much as colnago can't go with anything else than campagnolo.

Beautiful bike! From your frame geometry, I would guess you're around 6 ft 1 in tall, or in the neighborhood. How close am I?

The easiest match IMO would be an Infrared Jawbone with Fuse Chrome lenses! My Vette was slightly older. I sold it years back. It was unnerving grinding the front end of the car against almost every driveway I encountered HAHA

Except, the entire UAE team including 3X TDF winner Tadej Pogačar all use Shimano and other custom parts on their Colnago bikes... and they could use any brand parts they want, as money for gear is no object. Maybe Shimano offers better support with their parts? Campagnolo are definitely high-end and boutique, but maybe they can't offer the back up that Shimano can?

If you look on Colnago's website, you can choose Campagnolo for the groupset, but all of their "stock photos" show the bikes with Shimano or SRAM parts. I think it's odd that Colnago doesn't promote the fully Italian version more.

Sponsored Pros might use their bikes for a season or less, and get a new one for asking. In MY experience, for those of us mortals buying our own gear, Campy stuff will outlast anything else out there, and I’ve formed that opinion through advanced age and mileage.
Yes, we despise speed-humps!

The proof (of Campy's enduring nature) is in the pudding. Your bike looks great!
