Colnago ...Here we go again 70th anniversary and in steel. 70 made.

Holding out for the 75th Anniversary when 75 will be produced. Then the 70th Anniversary will be at car boot sales.

he won't live that long

 

[jim haseltine]

He's 92.
I wonder if they sold all 85 of the Ottanta5 limited edition (celebrating his 85th birthday) and if so how much does one go for now?

Specialized current range includes a S Works Tarmac SL8 for £14,500, not much price difference, you can probably even buy as many as you want.

For me a road bike with disc brakes is awful As it’ll have fat tyres to boot
I’m sure they’ll be rich who’ll buy this..but won’t be lighting my spark anytime soon

No mudguard eyelets - unbelievable.

I actually quite like it, but the pricing is barmy. You are getting close to custom Bastion Road money…

Rear mech is fugly, but I like the rest. While I'll not be buying it, the pricing doesn't seem unreasonable given the rarity and brand heritage.

Spoken like an investment banker

I won't pay that for a car

That amount of money is downright immoral. I know it's aimed at proper merchant bankers (rhyming slang) but it filters down.

Saw an article in CW rabbiting on about "reasonably" priced entry level bikes, a snip at €5000. They seemed to be actually serious about how "affordable" they are.

It's a weird concept for a steel build. I don't think it works in any respect, but it will probably be a sell out with the Colnago faithful. I do like steel Colnago bikes myself, but surely it's an idiot, or an ' investor' who would shell out for this? It's pug ugly to boot!
