Ferrari cx60 full sus

[1997BlackC5]

Does anyone have any experience with a Ferrari cx60 frame design by Colnago, I have been offered one new for £500, it looks like a good deal but just wondered what the people in the know thought?

It's no Ferrari...

Pretty basic parts for the RRP. 90% of the price must have been the name, which I would peel off before daring to actually ride the thing.

New for £500is probably worth it though. Just.

If its the one i think it is, then the only thing if quality is the name.

Dont know why they did it nor why lamborghini gavectheir name to be put on crappy bso in argos catalogue.

Post a photo to confirm.

Car branded bike = Lame!
The only exception I can think of are the Lotus 108 and 110 carbon fiber bikes from the early 90's. Those were cool, everything else was lame.

A quick look on internet shows new price about 1500 but was for sale, heavily discounted, at 680.

500 for complete new bike, go for it, too much just for the frame.

Doesnt look too bad tbh.

It will look awful once the stickers are peeled off.
And unrideable with them on.

Re:

tbh not a fan of the Ferrari stickers either, but XT rear mech, LX front mech, deore hydrolic brakes, suntor epicon front fork, new bike £500, lets face it I won't be taking this thing down hill racing I figured what better spec would I get for £500 on a full sus bike?

I thought 500 eas just for the frame, if it is complete bike, new and correct frame size, as you state correctly re compinents, you wont buy better.

Go for it.

Spec doesn't make a bad frame good.
