00:00Is this the ultimate bike for an Alpe Dues attempt? My colleague Ed is trying to go under
00:05an hour and we kicked him out with this Colnago V5 RS frame set. Now, if you think about going
00:10uphill fast, then naturally you think of Tadej Pogaccia. He uses the Y1 RS, but Ed probably
00:15won't be going quite as fast as Pogaccia, so we thought a climbing bike would be just
00:20the ticket. And check out this paint job. Look at this head tube. It's sort of a bluey purple
00:26marble effect. It really does look neat. And look how slim this is down here. It's also
00:32got a one piece Colnago cockpit on it and all the latest kit that you could possibly want.
00:37It's got a threaded bottom bracket and a UDH back here. Let me know what you think of his
00:41build down in the comments below.
