The beauty of modular construction is accuracy and precision.

Fabrication and custom sizing

Colnago builds the C72 by joining multiple carbon parts, instead of using a monocoque process. These virtual lugs allow for more sizes and customisable options. Building with an assemblage of smaller components allows better quality control and microscopic build tolerances.
