Colnago C60 goes out in style

It might seem a bit silly to get sentimental over a modern bike, quite a recent one at that. But this isn't just any bike, it's a Colnago, and the C60 didn't take long to find a place in our affections.

With the launch of the C64 this is most likely the last new C60 we'll be building, but what a great way to celebrate this extraordinary frame.

Full Campagnolo, including Bora One wheels, is a suitably Italian way to dress the "PLOR" (Matt Carbon/Orange) Italia disc frame. Even the bottle cages are Campag. And 3T contact points continue the theme. Handmade in Italy, this is a frameset that really deserves to carry that Ernesto Colnago signature on the top tube.

Here's to the C60, as it takes it's place in Colnago's rich heritage, and we look forward to seeing many more lugged carbon masterpieces as the C64 takes centre stage...
