COLNAGO CARBITUBO w/Custom Delta brakes LATE 80s EARLY 90s

[Jesper]

"NOS" Carbitubo frameset from shop display bike. Stored for 25 years stripped of parts except matching C Record delta brakes. Obtained 3 years ago, now getting ready to assemble after gathering parts (carbon Record 10 group, Ritchey carbon bar and stem); still need desired wheels (have Ksyrium K10, want Cosmic Carbone), pedals (LOOK KEO carbon), and saddle (have many, want ?).

Nice! Will be something special when it's built!

That’ll be a nice build indeed once built

Those deltas are killer with the matching color! Are you keeping them on it or using the Record calipers?

 

[Jesper]

Since this bike is probably my "Grail" bike (and a bit of an investment), and will be rarely be ridden; I will keep the delta brakes with the frame. Those brakes have never been used, and I thought about selling them to help with the cost of the frame and parts since they were about 1/2 of the total price tag. They might be hard to sell (at the value I estimate) given their color and someone else having to have a frame that they would compliment accordingly.

Wow what a stunner! It would be a crime to split the brakes, glad you are keeping them on. A carbon Flite would look superb on this.
