Ernesto Colnago ushered the cycling industry into a new era when his C40 won Paris-Roubaix in 1995. Others had dabbled but Ernesto delivered with his C40. The Colnago C-range has always been manufactured in Milan and the new C68 is exactly the same. Still handmade at the Colnago factory.

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.

    Cyclist & triathlete

  • "The personal service from both Phil and Julian is second to none. They have such a wealth of experience in fitting that they can almost tell at a glance if something is just a little off. It felt as though it didn't matter how long it took to get the best position possible - even for an amateur cyclist like myself. Can't recommend them enough."

    Susan

    Cyclist

  • "Very very personalised service. You arrive, they expect you, greet you by first name, have checked your file from past visits and set out very clearly what the process will be, what issues they're looking to address and how and they are happy to take the time to walk you through everything in layman's terms. Almost any professional service entity could learn a lot from how Cyclefit works. "
