The C59 Italia is the previous flagship model in the Colnago range. Replaced by the C60, the C59 is still regarded as an incredible frame, which is handmade, built and painted in Italy. Weighing approximately 1000g it features the classic lug and tube construction which features internally ribbed top tube shaped similar to the iconic Colnago Master frame. The C59 also makes use of specific square section chainstays and seatstays, which translates into a vertically compliant, but torsionally stiff rear end.
For the rider that seeks the modern weight savings and advanced characteristics that carbon provides, but is more attracted to a frame with clean traditional lines, and a more forgiving ride. The C59 will not disappoint.
