    Nice bikes.

    I prefer the old one looks-wise going by the photos. Saying that, the fade on the seatpost on it hardly shows so it doesn't visually work like it's supposed to, I always thought a plain black post was a better choice for this colour scheme on the smaller sizes for this reason.

    C60s are weird because all the schemes look quite different in real life. The pink one looks nothing special in photos but built up with all the kit kept black it can look really good.

    How have you found them compared to the C59?

    Not much difference to be honest for me to notice.

    No point in being brand loyal, they're all made in Asia.

    You really shouldn't come out with stuff like that if you don't know what you're talking about.

    And? Your point is? Most things are made in Asia! Yes, Giant makes bikes for Colnago etc and Enigmas are now made there too (except for custom) but that doesn't mean they are lower quality or that you should not be brand loyal. :?

    this is what colnago would have you believe that this is the only bike left that's made in italy.

    The fact is colnago are known to lie about where bikes are made./ and I don't have the blind faith you do.

    it also does'nt matter to a lot of people

    Lol - the production line for the C60 is in Italy. Just google it ffs. Either Colnago are perpretrating a monumental hoax on the world, or you are talking bollox.

    Looking back at his 18 or so posts he seems to be a very confused individual. Either that or he's posting sub standard attempts at trolling.

    Keep saving your paper round money and maybe you'll own one of these one day.

    It's a conspiracy theory, akin to the lunar landings.

    'aw cmon not this again...

    Colnago imports the usual Toray carbon from Asia and then glue and paint the whole damn thing in Italy with highly unionized communists workers that takes the day off when a football match is on,that's why a Colnago frame is so stupidly expensive..

    True. Some of them (Colnagos) aren't though which I thought is what he was getting at?

    I'm thinking the second one.

    And I like the replacement frame colour better; it's a lovely thing.
