Over the past couple of years sales of the Colnago EPS have rocketed past the numbers of C50's being sold late in its sales life. Although a magnificent frame, sales of theC50 were starting to indicate that perhaps the market was looking for something new.The C50 had long been Colnago's "Golden Child" a bike that could "do everything well", and the recent introduction of the long awaited Colnago C59 will undoubtably bring the "C" range back to the fore front of the prestige bike market. So many bikes can do well in racing conditions, or for training, or recreational riding, but the C50 excelled under every condition and universally this bike that could do everthing required brilliantly, was seen as being perfect. That was the C50.
Given perfection as a base, Colnago have put 10 years of development into creating the Colnago C59. As times have changed and further developments in materials and technique have evolved, what we now see as perfection has a new name. The Colnago C59. For many riders, a bike that excels as a sprint bike is less important than a bike that can be taken out with the "mates" for a friendly challenge, or compete in the local club races, maybe do "around the bay in a day", or simply taken for long training rides, while enabling us to return after hours in the saddle feeling comfortable and ready for more. The Colnago C59 is designed to reduce rider fatigue. To do this, yet be capable of aggressively competing in any race, even events like the Tour de France, handling impossible climbs or diving through hairpins on a high speed descent, takes great engineering and design. I guess that's why there was 10 years of development that went into this bike. Improving on perfection doesn't happen overnight. Ernesto Colnago insists on retaining the lugged frame, which has proven to give superior ride qualities over the cheaper monocoque construction techniques. Another major benefit is the superior fit possible, due tothe greater variety of frame sizes available using lugged construction. The new frame has internal ribbing similar to the EPS, which gives greater rigidity in cornering, and under rapid acceleration. Complimenting the new frame are the new square chainstays and seatstays which when combined with the rest of the C59 frame package, ensures maximum rider comfort, combined with unsurpassed performance. The straight blade forks are generally regarded as beneficial for performance and handling, but in actual fact they also absorb a greater amount of vibration, so are very beneficial in improving rider comfort. Extremely light, predictable, and without flaw, the Colnago C59 will transform your riding experience.
Equipped with the sensational Campagnolo Super Record it will have the others lining up to admire its sublime beauty should you pause at the coffee shop at the end of the ride. Of course we can build the bike to your specifications regardless whether you prefer Record, Chorus, SRAM Red or Shimano Dura Ace, and usually within the week. But why would you go past the brilliant Super Record? The ultimate groupset on the ultimate frame, which we usually compliment with carbon handlebars and headstem, and Campagnolo Eurus or Neutron Ultra wheels. The legend continues to grow, with the two premier Italian brands, Colnago and Campagnolo leading the way in cutting edge performance innovation.
Join the ride just like Anthony Charteau of the Bbox Bouygues Telecom Team did while taking the King of the Mountains title at the 2010 Tour de France,and see what all the fuss is about. Anthony benefitted from the light weight and responsivness inherent in every Colnago C59. You can too!
