The Frame
Colnago's legendary carbon race machine with original Team Olympus paint job. First generation C40 from 1996/1997 with glossy carbon resin finish and minimal wear. Threadless carbon fork. Exceptional rigidity and responsive handling characteristic of Colnago's racing heritage.
Colnago C40
The C40 was Colnago's first full-carbon frame and arguably the most successful race bike of the 1990s. Carbon-fibre tubes bonded into lugs gave a stiffer, lighter chassis than anything in the peloton — launching the carbon era that now dominates professional racing.
