Colnago
President Leonardo da Vinci (LdV) Commemorative Edition Bicycle
Colnago integrates a spectacular performance-enhancing upgrade - a
lightweight, race-inspired high modulus carbon fiber chassis for quicker, smoother
response in the most challenging environments. The overall result is a frame that
weighs 200 grams less than last year's 50th Anniversary frame. Taking a closer look
at the Colnago Leonardo da Vinci and one can see the beautiful woven twill pattern that
signifies the carbon fiber material that lies underneath.
All 2006 Colnago carbon fiber frames will benefit from the
continual pursuit of performance enhancements that have characterized the Colnago Carbon
Fiber Era. The enhancements are subtle in terms of physical properties, but
significant in terms of the frame's performance and feel while maintaining stable
handling for the demands of daily cycling. Keep in mind, the refinements of the
carbon fiber material are a result of extensive testing and development, and working
closely with Ferrari, ATR S.p.A. as well as other top Italian engineers and scientists.
Colnago produces all of the frames in-house (Cambiago, Italy) and meticulously
oversees each step of the production process. Colnago is very proud of its heritage
and ability to provide the finest racing cycles in the world. Colnago is seen as the
unchallenged leader in high-end road bikes.
Paying tribute to the stupendous genius, Leonardo da Vinci, a man of extraordinary gifts
whose fruitful imagination produced images and concepts of unparalleled stature, Ernesto
Colnago designed the President LdV bicycle which depicts some of Leonardo da Vinci's
illustrations and manuscripts that have inspired scholars and have led to remarkable
discoveries. Ernesto Colnago's Leonardo da Vinci commemorative bicycle
exemplifies the unrelenting passion of pursuing one's fullest potential without
compromise.
The Colnago President Leonardo da Vinci (LdV) is
now offered as a frameset which includes frame
and Star fork
