Colossi Zona frame experience / opinions?

hi,

had my fuji feather for 2/ 3 years now not sure how old it was before i brought the frame and was thinking of upgrading to something nicer and saw these,

but couldnt find much of peoples experiences or opinions on them. Would be commutting on it n just general riding about town, as I use my geared bike for longer distances.

I know its from the far east (my chinese carbon is 4 yrs old n still goin strong no issues) but would happily consider an equivalent poduced locally if its in the same ball park.

I'm enjoying my colossi rambler cx with zona tubes!
The paint are a bit disappointing as it easily chips.

Hey there. I'll do my disclaimer first - I'm a custom bike business and I get Colossi to make my frames. I also act as the UK agent for them but because I don't really hold stock it usually takes a while to get a bike via me. I think I have a couple of the Mondial track frames in storage with Colossi branding on. They're up north but I am up and down all the time. What size are you looking at?

Colossi are one of the industry's best kept secrets. They're primarily a white label builder, as in they make frames for some very big names in Europe and the US. Think of some frames supposedly coming out of Italy or Belgium...

With Zona, the tubing is coming from Italy and Colossi do know how to put a frame together. The Mondial is very nice.

As @daveaa says the paint isn't great. They do a good paint job in house but they don't clearcoat so it does chip.

Any questions, give me a shout. Even about sourcing. Bear in mind if you get it from Germany you'll have shipping and maybe some import fees.

for your use zona would be good enough. better/lighter tubesets are good for for racing as zona can withstand abuse and is more robust.

i have a custom frame made by orlowski from zona tubing and it has been a blast to ride.

Hi jimmy8ball.
Are u still a UK agent for Colossi?
I’m interested in building up a bike and be looking at there “Niteo” or “Venus” frames.
Could you shed any light on pricing, colourways and timeframes?
I'm based in London Hackney. Much appreciated
