it's alive: EPS + 11 = italian beauty

The rap sheet:
Frame/Fork: Colnago EPS MTBK
Groupset: Campagnolo EPS
Handlebars: Zipp Carbon SL2
Stem: Shimano Pro carbon
Wheels: Powertap SL+ Mavic Open Pro
Water Cages: Tacx Tao Carbon
Data recording: Garmin 310XT

I have decided with on how my italian steed will be complimented.  I decided to go with Campagnolo Super Record 11.  I had the opportunity to go for a really good training ride yesterday riding the new group.  I finished the build Friday night.  The groupset is over 1 lbs. lighter then Shimano Dura Ace 7900 and the shifters feel more ergonomic in my hands.  The shifting is crips and precise.  Just as you would expect for the italians.

I didn't have any campagnolo wheels.  However, I don't ride with normal wheels.  I train and race with power, so I didn't need a campy wheelset.  I just bought a campy powertap freehub and I'm up and recording my metrics.

I have to say that this is the best bike I have ever ridden and am becoming a Campagnolo convert. 

Pictures Here. Enjoy.
