Colnago singlespeed...

Just lovely....

That's the most gears I have ever seen on a single speed.

I'm sorry, I think they've completely lost it. How is this any better than the Langster? I've been saying this for three years now, despite the fact that I ride Colnago, the brand is going right down the toilet. They're turning out bikes that are poor apologies for Specialized.

Open up some horrible JPS Lotus 1976 thing for me:

Obliged. Well that's very...........beige. Ideal for your FNRttC trips to Worthing.

Tektro brakes on a Colnago!!???

At least the Master 55 frame looks nice....but not will all black components...when will this fashion end!!!

Indeed, they're having a laugh, though the frame does look nice.

I think road bikes look silly with the brake(s) on the tops. If you're going to fit drops why not have proper brake hoods? It's faux-track posing.

Rob - the frame may look nice (or it may not - I think it looks pants) but don't you remember all that guff about the complete lack of compromise. 'Every Colnago is a racing bike'. You bought a C40 because there was nothing better - if you'd bought anything else, anything at all, the nagging 'if only' thought would always be there.

Well the C50 was a less elegant version of the C40 and from then on the whole craftsmanship thing went out of the window. Maybe the time has gone. Maybe there really is no need for craft. Computers can do the lot. Maybe it would be better if you called it a day, or simply said - 'yes this is a re-badged whatnot, but the badging is the best that you will ever see'. Instead of which you have bikes retailing for about £1200 that are, to all intents and purposes, Giants by another name. And the finish is frightful.

Prefer the old Master paintescheme.
I agree the fixed is nothing special for a large price tag, I'll Take a Condor for less.

The Pista is nicer

It is, but being a proper track bike it won't have a drilled fork so it's not suitable for the road.
