Classic Colnago

  • Owner: wornsaddle
  • Country: Australia
  • Brand: Colnago
  • Model: c50
  • Posted: 10 May 2010

About this bike

– Colnago C50 frame, 57cm
– Record QS Ultra [limited pro edition] groupset
– Prologo Scratch Pro T1.4 saddle
– 3T Rotundo Team Carbon bars
– Mavic SSC Paris Roubaix 36h rims (mid 80s) on ‘08 Record hubs
– Vittoria Corsa CG Ultra P-R rubs (early 90s)
– Fulcrum Speed wheels

In a fire I’d tuck my son under one arm, and this bike under the other.  Two wheelsets to show how a C50 pulls off both racing and heritage looks.  The frame and Mavic rims starred in the ‘08 Rapha Swiss Alps Autumn/Winter shoot (http://www.rapha.cc/rapha-rides-the-swiss-alps).  Also, both frame and groupset were second hand eBay finds - it’s worth being patient to avoid full retail price.

thank you for making this COLNAGO looks so rad and not convert it into a fixie scene…

It is amazing how the heritage is so present with the low profile mavics fitted.

the swiss alps ride is a bit like a dream and ben always tells such great stories with his images. definitely one of his better collections.

The Paris Roubaixs look great on it - maybe its the gumwalls - but its nice to see a modern bike look like so classic.
