This bike – soon to be for sale at Eroica Cicli, was once owned by the Italian Cycling Federation. It needed some new paint, so they fully restored it with red Saronni, white panels and a fully chrome fork & rear triangle and built it up with a complete Campagnolo Record Pista group. See a few more below, and be sure to keep an eye out for the sale.
The new Colnago C59 Disc brake road bike has been stirring up quite the commotion lately. Many are skeptical of hydraulic disc brakes on a road bike, but I love seeing innovation like this. Sure, this is probably causing some old-school curmudgeons to roll over in their graves…but think of the benefits here. You’ll have a perfect excuse to spend way too much money on a new frame and set of wheels…not to mention brakes/shifters.
I can see the argument of the wheels being faster (read:lighter), due to less rotational mass from the lack of a braking surface…although something tells me you’re not going to notice the difference. What do you think of think of this whole concept? I’m still still unsure of the need to make a completely simple machine slightly more complex for minimal gains. I mean I barely used my brakes when I was racing…

I’d like some warm birthday wishes to Mr. Ernesto Colnago who turns 80 today, and my what an impact he’s had on the sport. Thank you Ernesto!

Well, this was for sale yesterday but upon checking out the auction this morning it looks like it’s been sold! This Colnago Master Decor sure is a beauty, I’ve always been a fan of Colnago’s paint schemes.
Take a break and check out the rest of the details below.

Ed Doyle brought a grip of cameras along for our super-last-minute trip to Boston last Sunday and managed to capture this fleet of stunners while we were at Superb.

Nothing like a gorgeous Colnago EPS to inspire a quick ride before the rain hits. – see what Colnago Con Brio has to say about his EPS and also a couple more photos here.
ps. The EPS has been replaced by the EPQ for this year (which is equally stunning)

This looks just like my plan for tomorrow morning. I think I’ll wake up early, make some poached eggs, and take the long route to work on my track bike (I’m serious on the poached eggs too, my friends had some at brunch on Sunday and now I’ve been craving them). Here are a few photos of this gorgeous Colnago, restored by Giovani Pelizzoli-click that to see the amazing process. Couple more below and some at Allesandro’s Flickr.

The M10 is Colnago‘s new monocoque carbon offering featuring a tapered headtube, oversized BB and incredible attention to detail; as expected from Colnago.
Colnago Con Brio has a great review and write up about his M10 (pictured above) and his visit to meet Ernesto himself. See a few more shots below and read that review here.

Anyone have any more photos of this stunning Colnago? I’ll leave you all with this until I can dig up some more shots.

EDIT: Prolly commented with a post he already had in the works, check it out here. I had to add another photo….damn what a fine looking ride.
It belongs to Cooper Ray, a photographer and cyclist from NYC.
Tokyo Fixed has a lugged, nickle plated Colner track frame (a subset of Colnago in the early 1970′s) for sale, this thing is beautiful, check out more photos on flickr.
I wish there were more photos, but check out the others of this stunning Colnago here.
