Colnago
C50 Carbon (Strada)
The Colnago C50 is the apex of the Colnago
collection. After several innovative changes to his previous carbon framesets, Ernesto
Colnago created the C50. Ernesto Colnago reshaped and modified the carbon fiber tubing
taking his all carbon fiber lugged frame to a new level. Colnago refines the tubing
so the carbon tubing is completely new and 200 grams lighter than its predecessor.
Keep in mind, the refinements of the carbon fiber material are a
result of extensive testing and development, and working closely
with Ferrari as well as
other top Italian engineers and scientists. Immediately
you'll notice the new twill pattern and shorter carbon lugs on the Colnago C50.
Colnago has been working with carbon fiber for 20 years. Any changes that he makes
to his collection is done to service a useful purpose without compromise on quality.
While keeping the Master profile design of
the top tube and down tube, the C50 features oversized tubing similar in design to the
Dream tubing. The head lug accommodates a 1-1/8" threadless fork. The oversized
carbon fiber tubing improves the overall handling which you'll notice immediately when
cornering or going up or down the mountain. You'll also notice how lively it rides
making your long distance journeys more enjoyable.
Another key feature of the C50 is the HP
chainstays which feature smooth edges to absorb road vibration. The HP design
improves the pedaling force while allowing for vertical flex to absorb road shock from
poor pavement. Colnago has produced the perfect frame - stiffness where it's needed
yet flexible where you want it. The rear anodized dropouts connect to the carbon
stays with a classic internal pivot that penetrates the tubing, and the bottom bracket
shell is constructed of titanium.
