Out of water carriers..

All of the three Colnago builds

ended up in apparently similar results: Art Decor Frames with Carbon wheels and Campagnolo outfits. Still, all three are slightly different and each bike has its own characteristics. But there are two things the three have in common: The handle bars, which need no further introduction, and.... the bottle holders: The perfectly shaped Supacaz fly bottle cage. Superbly designed in carbon and hand painted with a flawless finish; a true masterpiece and almost impossible to find nowadays. I was lucky with Tecnos 2 to even get them in an outlet sale in The Netherlands, and with the Master it took quite some time before I finally found a set in black and white in Italy. On the current quest however, these were the most difficult parts to find. I wanted black and red but did not succeed despite endless search efforts. Then I decided to look out for black and white again, as white was already predominant on the 2000.  But with no result. In the end, the last available set was spotted in Spain, but in straight plain matt carbon only. So I decided to take them to exchange the set with the black & white from the Master, where the matt carbon would fit with the wheels anyway.. And so, the last building exercise was concluded..
