Here it is... the crown jewel of my collection. a 2003 C-40 HP B-Stay in the beautiful, rare Geo paint scheme....
Full Record with Shamal's... sub 16lbs. as shown.

Colnago Master B-Stay
This is a cool low volume frame called a Master B-Stay (sometimes called a Master Carbon)
Combines the front triangle of a Master X-Light with the rear end of a C-40
I have seen two variations of this frame one like this with a full carbon rear-end, and a few examples with carbon seat stays.
To my understanding this frame was only sent to the US for 2 years....It seems to still be available in Europe...although I don't see it currently listed on the website.
This model was not well received by steel purists, or new gen riders...The ride is typical Colnago... glorious I really appreciate this bike for combining the two worlds of technology
as built it weighs around 17lbs.

new winter projects....
This winter I have picked up some new plastic....
of course from the usual suspects Colnago and Bianchi.
The first pair is a set of 928's the C2C model is built with full Chorus, and the Lugged unit is done in Record...
I have had a pair of these before but in a smaller size....The builds were not to my liking before either... I am much happier with the way these turned out.
The Lugged is a 59 with a 57.5 effective TT and the C2C is a 58 with a 57.5 effective TT
Bianchi's run small.
I will be posting my New Nago's later...
