Structural soldering, the behaviour of the monocoque frame, the possibility of varyjng angles down to a thousandth of a degree, plus Art Decor paint and, most important, unbeatable racing performance, have all contributed to the global success of this professional frame. The monocoque structure of the C40 B-Stay frame means that no joints are required and provides excellent fatigue strength. The absence of a transversal bridge ensures correct distribution and reduced concentration of physical effort. In addition to carbon fibre monocoque joints and tubes, this new version - the C40 B-Stay - has a revolutionary vertical rear stay which provides the frame with increased rear flexo-torsional rigidity thanks to a substantial increase in its section despite lightening the weight of the frame overall. The C40 is the most desirable frame any racing cyclist could wish for. This frame has a patented construction method and has opened a new era in the application of carbon to cycle building. The Carbon Fiber C 40 - Best in the land! Colnago trademarks are highly detailed craftsmanship, exotic paint finishes and unique tubing shapes. Manufactured in Italy since 1954, Colnago is currently the most celebrated frame in the world, winner of the 19 World Championship and 1996 World Cup as well as numerous other pro road races. This means it exhibits itself in public with collective tests which, quite apart from workshop tests (however essential), have won the confidence of millions the world over. Two special aspects need to be mentioned: first, COLNAGO has one production line only, and therefore, the bicycles of top professionals and normal users are produced together, by the same personnel and to identical criteria second - and this ties in with the first aspect - by sponsoring leading professional teams every year, COLNAGO puts its production line on the line. Today's COLNAGO, with its organisation, new premises, machinery and work methods is the logical continuation of COLNAGO as it was 45 years ago.Īlthough fully committed to research and new, technical solutions for its products, whereby nothing stays the same for long, COLNAGO has kept true to its initial outlook, and will adhere to it in future: to produce at all times the best possible quality that technical and scientific progress allows. Across the world, COLNAGO is the byword for quality, leading-edge technology and safety applied to the fascinating, many faceted world of bicycles.
