The Colnago C series has been around for quite some time now, but it's not a bike that's necessarily designed to win races. It's designed for the cycling enthusiast, not with ultra fast steering and a super lightweight construction in mind. Si takes a look at the all-new C68 and C68Ti, to tell you everything you need to know about it.

So glad Colnago are going to offer a rim brake version. The direct mounts on my C64 are absolutely fabulous - without all the hassle of hydraulics.

@robertorolfo 2 года назад

It's truly sad to think that rim brakes might disappear in the future. One of the great things about cycling and bicycles is their simplicity. I don't want to be dealing with hydraulic fluid when it comes to my bike (just like I don't want to worry that the battery charge on my drivetrain will go flat).

@jwestpro 2 года назад

@@robertorolfo Rim brakes are far superior from a living with them perspective and there's simply no contest in that aspect. You can hang a rim brake bike on the wall for 20 yrs and just go use it after checking tires. You can cram it or the wheels into your car or travel cases and almost never ever worry about screwing up it's function or parts. I LOVE disc brakes on my mtn bikes and gravel but an analogue rim brake road bike is so simple yet just as effective as the disc versions. in MTB that is almost opposite.

@dhanso928 2 года назад

I have a CX-1. These may have been the 1st c-series, I am not a Colnago-nut, but I love it. I was an avid amateur racer, and I had a couple of high-end bikes going always. I liked buying and building different stuff (used framesets) to see how they rode. Time, Look, Orbea, Ridley, Scott, Cannondale, etc. etc. I had a couple of Durace grupos to swap on and lottsa carbon tubular wheels, also used, but well-maintained. The CX-1 was a team bike with Nor Cal Z-Team, the only way I could ever have a new Colnago. I think they were the 1st monocoque Colnago, 1st sloping top tube, first integrated headset. When I raced and trained on this for a few weeks, I decided I'd found the perfect bike. Not "fragile", like a lot of race frames. Not a butt-beater like my Ridley Noah or the Time. Not twitchy and scary descending like the Scott and Cannondale... The CX-1 has titanium (I think) in the threaded BB, the headtube, and the seat tube (not proprietary) The geometry is 100% right. Not a hint of wobble at any speed nor twitching on rough stuff. I had 9sp DA for some years, now it's 11sp mech...Rim brakes, of course, and carbon tubulars when it's not winter. I have probably 20k hard miles on this Colnago nów. While I'd enjoy testing some of the newer offerings, I don't think I would find I'd want to "upgrade". The only thing that puts me off about riding the Colnago is the fact that they're considered as "snobby dillitante. richy rich" bikes...and the prices mentioned for this new C-68 seem to support "rich"..at least

I can remember when Nags had a clover leaf shaped cut out in the bottom bracket shell. You had to use one of those plastic tubes to protect the bearings from dirt.

@prestachuck2867 2 года назад

BB cutouts were not uncommon on race bikes of the 1960’s, 70’s, and early 80’s. Racers typically spend more time riding in the pouring rain than most other folks, and water fills up the bb, chainstays, and part of the downtube and seatube without the drain hole in the bb. I’ve pulled the crankset from many modern carbon bikes only to have half a bucket of brackish water dump out and onto the shop floor! The cloverleaf shell was just beautiful.

How does it climb ? How does it feel ? How does it ride ? How does it compare ? What did you like ? What did you not like ? You seem to be reciting a text that was sent to you by the manufacturer. You know I expect more than : "Look at the shiny new colors, look at the nice Colnago app". Hope this helps for further bike "in-depth" look.

Ernesto must have waited one more year, and delivered instead... The C69 😂

The world seems so much better when Colnago launch a new bike. Having watched this during the heatwave (with the Air Con on overdrive) I used RU-vid's subtitles. I think the system code must have been written by an ex-Guardian typesetter. I counted at least six different spellings for Colnago [including Carnage, I'm not making this up!!].

Bike is a do all, and made for older folks looking for comfort. For lighter, get the V3RS, same as the pros use.

Quick release?

@rygar4702 2 года назад

I have 3 Colnagos and looking for another one. One thing I was waiting for you to talk about was how did the 68 ride on the road. GOOD SHOW AS ALWAYS GCN.

Let me guess, it’s lighter, and more laterally stiff while being more vertically compliant.

+It's so fast it rides itself, no need to press on the pedals!

Very attractive bike. Italian company knows how to create value by telling story but the story is really nice though.

@rickcski8082 2 года назад

Beautiful bike. I would love to have one, but at that price I will stick with my Pinarello Prince.

@gcn 2 года назад

A great choice all being said!

@odiesdad01 2 года назад

Agreed! The Colnago is a beauty, but the lines on the Pinarello are super sexy.

@shaldon08 2 года назад

Beauty but for me is the very definition of a purchase choice by the heart, rather than the head

My dream was to get a Colnago "Made in Italy" road bike, with no expense spared! I got a load of compensation, so then it was the research for what I wanted, best place to buy, etc. Obviously, I was having top of range Campagnolo Super Record EPS, Bora wheels, etc, and not that ugly, bland, awful Shima(NO!) garbage! I shopped around, got quotes, etc, with prices of over £12,000(without pedals!), but by going to see Mike at Maestro Cycles, getting some great deals on eBay, etc, I managed to build it up for about £8,500!!! Colnago are awesome bikes, and always get the jealous looks, from people who ride "Boring Clone" bikes!
