how they made the bike:
Road Bike Party 2 - The Making Of Martyn Ashton's Colnago C59 Disc - YouTube
just few notes from comments below the video:
- Martyn, Danny and Chris used just one bike. They only used one set of wheels too
- The wheels didn't suffer any damage at all, Continental tyres and tubes
- they couldn't use the Shimano levers, as Dura Ace doesn't support hydraulic disk brakes. So they went with a separate brake levers and put the Di2 secondary/Time Trail controls on the handle bars
- they all used flat pedals

Don't respray, just touch up, t-cut and polish it. Keep the original fork, stick some 90's shimano on it and jobs done
i am not sure if it is original fork anyway. if i remember properly, they should colour match the frame and originally there was a choice of steel and aluminum ones. look on http://www.vintagecannondale.com/ among the catalogs for more info. frame number will tell you manufacturing date and you can find the bike spec in catalogs. if you want to keep the rear brake, find some top tube plastic cable holders now as they are pain to get hold off. i had to get my ones from finland via retrobike forum but it took ages. the same with wolber rims- i am searching for 6 months now as i try to keep my bike original. great bike- apparently, when they made it, it was the lightest high performance frame available

i did not want to start another thread but not sure how to edit thread subject... anyway- if someone has a spare or unwanted one in good working condition, will take care of it. if at sensible price, might consider buying a pair or upgrade. this is for a budget bike so price is more important than a condition, cheers
