80km : Ride of the Vintages
1991 Colnago Master Piu with full Ultegra components (me!)
1994 Pinarello Team Banesto with full Campy Chorus (Mr.Alu)
1996 Colnago Master Olympic with mix Campy Record/Chorus (Mr.Olympic, formerly Mr.Ti)
Nice ride (no rain! luckily!). We got to try out each other's bike on this one so we really took our time. Comment from Mr.Olympic is that his Master is actually faster than the previous Ti bike he had despite being a little heavier. I find mine faster than the Saronni as well, smooth up a lot of ride fatigue and managing higher cruising speeds with lesser effort.
I could not really judge which bike is better in what sense cos' they are all setup differently anyway so naturally, I'd find mine better than the rest! However, did try out the Campy stuff and must say that its quite good, but Shimano is better hahaha! Matter of preference I say.
The multiple upshift option can be asset as well on the Campy but the thumb shifter position does not feel that natural to me compared to the full lever shifting on Shimano.
Here's a pic of the Colnago's at Jalan Bahar Shell Station.......
