Quoted on a case-by-case basis. These are in high demand and limited supply. That's what happens when your bikes win every major race.

Why we carry it

Ernesto Colnago's shop opened in Cambiago and the company is still there, which counts for something.

It helps that a certain someone has won every major race on one of these for the last five years.

What can be ordered

  • V5Rs — the all-rounder, and my personal favorite.
  • Y1Rs — the aero bike. Pure speed and a unique look.
  • C72 — the lugged carbon flagship, still built by hand in Cambiago. The world's preeminent fondo bike.
  • Steelnovo and Master — steel, for romantics.

The V5Rs and Y1Rs make fast feel easy. The others make it feel like floating.
