frame is good, but color is sheat

If weight was a driver for the build you wouldn't pick di2. Lighter options with campagnolo / SRAM mechanical. Di2 is over 2kgs.

For a large frame with full di2 and thick pearlescent paint that's a great weight.

DA9070 with an internal battery is the lightest group set Shimano makes. So if you were going for light weight it makes more sense to use this than DA9000 mechanical.

Lugged carbon is awesome.

^^ my favorite colourway... Going to age really well!

lugging seems to hark back to the earlier models, prefer over monocoque

lush and I normally don't go in for the nag wank

c40 c50 extreme used atm carbon i believe, made in italy and use in f1
the term made in italy is used so looosely, it may only mean decorated in italy and the rest done in asia

Noice milling machine.

Visited the factory / museum in Cambiagio last summer and made me really want a c59 after playing with tommy vs yellow one.

C60 seems like a winner, like the replaceable sleeved bb idea. Keen to see how it looks in reality.

@saarf

Colnago's top end machines are still made in house. Think there's a mini doc somewhere on youtube.

constructed in house i know, i question whether the carbon is italian

C60 has been here before, but that is definitely the best paint job of the first lot.

Haven't they been using the same Italian "F1" carbon supplier that's down the road from them for quite a while? On the lugged models anyway. The M10 is made in Taiwan (by Giant, IIRC) and only painted by Colnago in Italy.

Would give my left bollock for one of this in a 58 and internal wiring. The same ones in red and blue are also testicle donating worthy

not sure, I've heard a few romantics bemoan that they stopped using italian carbon after the extreme c, the last true italian carbon,i have seen nothing to say what carbon the later models are, whether the tubes are spun in house, but then i havn't really looked

i question whether the carbon is italian

Nearly all carbon originates in the centre of stars

bmc impec "pirated" luged frames from ernie imo, prefer my c50hp to an impec all day when i tried against each other in a primitive field test

thank you for sharing that, i feel enlightend

That Bicycling piece explicitly claims the crabon manufacture is outsourced to an Italian composites company, and I've heard the same claim for the C59. Though I suppose they could themselves be outsourcing to Taiwan… ;)

this one's a bit sore

My point being, what counts as "Italian" carbon fibre? Does the feedstock fibre going into the pyrolysis process have to be Italian? If so, does the raw petroleum from which that is made have to be extracted within Italian territorial waters? Or is it Italian as long as an Italian factory takes spools of carbon fibre and creates tow & woven cloth from them?

i take it to mean the actual tubes are spun in italy sweetie

So long as it breaks-down with a dramatic a show of passion.
