Description
When Ernesto released the Colnago C40 he started a revolution.
Before, carbon fibre has been seen as the future of cycling and there have been loads of experiments going on since the 1970s. But to that point, no carbon fibre bike proved so safe and light at the same time, that it was suitable as a standard professional team bike. Well constructed enough to equally compete in the mountains and the classics of Flanders.
This Colnago C40 HP is the very last evolution of the C40 model. Still constructed of profiled carbon fibre tubes fitted together by well-proportioned carbon fibre lugs, it clearly distinguishes itself by the chainstays with a diamond cutout, a solution which resulted in better lateral rigidity while making the rear triangle more vertically compliant. The front fork is also made of carbon fibre by Colnago and with its straight blades, it refers to the iconic Precisia forks from the 90s.
Our C40 is equipped with the best parts possible. It has been equipped with a Shimano Dura-Ace Groupset
It's now clear that the carbon fibers are literally woven through the whole bike. The aero Cinelli handlebars and Colnago seatpost are also made of this material. It is clear that this is a top-notch bike was built without any compromises. It is furthermore in exceptional condition.
Legendary Colnago model equipped with the finest parts and so well preserved, that it's hard to find similar anywhere else - certainly a good choice for serious riders.
