This seems to be getting more debate going;
Hydraulic discs on a top end road frame. What we all need or a step too far?

Wow - Would never have guessed Colnago were so forward thinking!
I ve gone on record many times here saying I think that Hydraulic brakes and electronic shifting are the future, so much so that I rekon in 10 years, every GBP/EUR 1000 etc bike will have them. i think the benefits far outweigh any negatives and personally I look where I'm going when I ride my bike rather than down at the axles so I'm not bothered how it looks.We're in danger of confusing passion with incompetence

Tho not a fan of Hydraulic brakes on a road bike as am prob old fashioned as it spoils the "looks" of the bike - I do find one benefit, All of us who like the old "gumwall" tyres like the Corsa Cx`s, Veloflex, ....you wont have all the cr*p off the brakes now to dirty your sidewalls of your tyres. I see a upsurge in sales for the gumwalls now

PS. What a horrible paint job on that Colnago ....Is that Italian navy "Battleship Grey" ????0 -

All of this plus Shimano on a Colnago? Sacrilege! (From a Shimano user too!!). It's got the potential to be a very nice looking bike with a decent paint job and Record groupset!0 -
Shame the C59's frame construction is so out of date! Runs and hides... 0

It's still a lugged frame, hardly spaceage.ddraver wrote:Wow - Would never have guessed Colnago were so forward thinking!0
