Colnago C68 - RA Cycles

Colnago C68

The Colnago C68 is the latest iteration of a modular carbon tradition that began with the C35 in 1989 — eight hand-assembled carbon parts joined and carbon-banded by hand at Colnago’s workshop in Cambiago, Italy, then filed and polished to the clean lines of a monocoque. Colnago was the first brand to introduce carbon frames to professional racing, and the C-series has been refining that approach through every generation since the C40. The C68 adds a T47 bottom bracket for improved bearing durability, an updated steerer tube for front-end rigidity, and 32mm tire clearance. At RA Cycles, the collection spans from Dura-Ace Di2 builds to limited-edition numbered frames — including the Rossa and Fleur-de-Lys editions — each one handmade in Italy.

About Colnago

Ernesto Colnago opened his workshop in Cambiago, a small town east of Milan, at the age of seventeen. Within a decade he was building frames for professional teams, and within two decades his bikes were carrying Eddy Merckx to five Tour de France titles, five Giri d'Italia, and the Hour Record. The Colnago name became shorthand for the best Italian road racing had to offer. That reputation has been sustained across seventy years — through the C-series lugged carbon frames beginning with the C35 in 1989, through the V-series aero platforms, and now through the Y1Rs and V5Rs, both developed in collaboration with UAE Team Emirates. Every Colnago frame is still designed in Cambiago, and the C68 and Steelnovo are still assembled there by hand. Learn more at colnago.com.
