COLNAGO C40 HP B-Stay, Campagnolo Record Titanium, 48cm (2004) – SOLD

In 1994 Colnago started to produce their very successful model C40 — ‘C’ for carbon and ‘40’ to commemorate Colnago’s 40th year in business. Full carbon frame with Master profile carbon tubes bonded to carbon lugs. Ernesto Colnago solved the problem of how to make a carbon frame durable enough to win the toughest cobbled Classics yet light enough to soar up Alpine cols. That’s the reason why the C40 is the favourite bike of all time for so many people — including Sir Bradley Wiggins. Colnago could have created something with perhaps a swoopy, futuristic profile befitting itsrevolutionary design. Instead he kept the tubes ramrod-straight in the traditional style — albeit with the star-shaped cross-section that he had pioneered with the steel Master.

”When we built the C40, we were the only ones to build carbon frames and all the mechanics and competitor technicians were saying that they would be too dangerous to use on cobbled roads, especially with the straight carbon forks. There was a company that wanted to fit suspension forks on the bicycle, but I wasn’t going to have suspension forks on the C40.  The C40 went on to win 5 editions of Paris-Roubaix in 6 years.

Happy to present the latest incarnation of the legendary C40 model: COLNAGO C40 HP B-stay, model with fishbone B-chainstay and  titanium bottom bracket insert to increase the stiffness. This beauty is very well preserved, shinning in beautiful original paintjob, built with Campagnolo Record Titanium 10s groupset, Mavic Ksyrium Race wheels, FSA carbon handlebar. Very low mileage. Ready to ride. 

Fair price.
