Colnago
Cristallo Carbon
Though other framemakers are offering carbon fiber
framesets, Ernesto Colnago is credited with designing the first high quality carbon fiber
road bikes. It was his idea to show the world the advantages of carbon fiber road bikes by
putting his top pro cyclists on the road and to the test. Despite its unparalleled design,
one look at Colnago's carbon fiber material and you know this is no ordinary carbon fiber
frame. The lure of the Colnago carbon fiber construction is certainly more than just
hype. Colnago uses the finest carbon fiber material available in the world.
While other framemakers settle for Asian-made tubing, Colnago uses carbon fiber
designed and produced in Italy. Furthermore, Colnago is one of the only bicycle
manufacturers worldwide certified ISO 9001. ISO (International Organization for
Standardization) is the only world-wide organization that guarantees and certifies the
attainment and maintenance of quality standards in design (the safety and quality of
materials used in production) as well as in every element of production. Once a company
attains ISO 9001 certification, it must be maintained year after year, requiring a
continual investment in resources and process management. Colnago carbon fiber frames are
authentically Made In Italy; not only for the great design, but above all
for the technique, material and technology one finds inside each and every one.
Named after the magical Mt. Cristallo region located in the
mountainous area of Veneto, the Colnago
Cristallo features a monocoque carbon fiber front
triangle which reduces torsionial flex. Combined with its oversized carbon
fiber chainstays, the Colnago Cristallo's performance will thrill you just as much as its beauty.
The Colnago Cristallo’s seattube and toptube have a unique shape that
offer ultimate comfort & control without sacrificing performance. With an
exceptionally high standard design, the Cristallo’s ride will captivate you and ensure crisp
handling.
The Colnago
Cristallo is available in six sloping sizes - 45, 48,
50, 52, 54 or 57 cm and several color choices.
