Mr. Colnago has once again driven the bar higher with his new C-59. I have sold the brand for over twenty five years and have often used the word "passion" to describe our love for the Colnago brand. I was happy to see that very word used in the Colnago 2011 catalog. Take just one look at their new lineup and their “passion” shines through. One bike in particular that caught my eye was the new C-59. It is a bike that can live up to its full heritage, meeting and exceeding the achievement of the C-50.
In the world of professional cycling Colnago's list of achievements is very numerous so I won't list them all here, but I can tell you that in this day and age when everyone is talking "carbon" and promising a bike that is lighter, faster, and stronger; Colnago is at the top of their game. Do you know who made the first carbon production bike that won the world over? Yes, it was Ernesto Colnago. He used carbon when people thought he was crazy and used his friendship with Ferrari to push carbon bicycle frames - he knew way back then it was a material that made sense.
Fast forward to 2011 and you must see the C-59. Although it looks sweet online, be sure to check it out in person. Touch it, pick it up, feel the balance and of course test ride one. Available in a multitude of sizes both sloping and traditional. Once you test it out, you will see why a lugged carbon hand built bicycle from Italy still resides at the top of the list. We will stock several of these and can pre-order your color of choice for an early Spring delivery.
At this year's Interbike tradeshow we were able to see these amazing bikes first hand.Check out the video of Billy Kanzler of Colnago America and the C-59:
