A full carbon frame or is it the Carbon rear triangle and the Aluminium main 3 tubes tubing?

Thanks.

The C 40 was a full carbon frame

Full carbon as Ugo states and as a C40 owner, I just love my bike and hope to keep it for some time (which is not like me ) as they really are a classic.

£599 is not cheap for a C40 frameset though IMO - I have paid just over £700 for two complete C40s off eBay in the last couple of years. I bought my C40 Mapei frameset (the black/blue rather than white/blue, which I'd love) for £430 as I remember last Easter.

Thank you fellas. Was it the Colnago dream or the HP that had 3 aluminium main tubes?
@nocheckmate - I have brought him down a fair whack.

I put in a phantom bid of £600 like you said.

I bet you did. When there's no sale, he will be totally demoralised and then let it go to me for pittance - you done me a favour and BTW - stop stalking me, this is getting a bit spooky and people will start talking.

They're already talking

"Pinarello doesn't deserve a nice bike."
"Pinarello's rubbish at fixing things."
"Pinarello wouldn't know art if it slapped him in the face."
"Pinarello needs a wash." etc etc

You need help STC - a check up from the neck up.

The Colnago Dream was an aluminium frame, although not sure if it had carbon stays or not.

HP was a Colnago design of chainstay, had a sort of diamond shape with a hole in it, at the BB end.

The Dream HP had the carbon rear stays. Dream HP B-stay had the fancy rear carbon triangle.

The Dream was all aluminium.

I had the pleasure of a Dream for a while, brilliant frame!
