We have been a Colnago dealer for over 14 years and remain today as Edmonton’s exclusive stockist. The C40 went on to win 5 editions of Paris-Roubaix in 6 years. But when I heard that there were 4 Mapei riders in the break, I knew I could relax.” It was joined by the Extreme Power and Extreme C, designed for sprinting and climbers respectively, and followed by the EPS. I had to take personal responsibility for what was going to happen, and I spent all night worrying about it, barely able to sleep. Colnago first introduced the C40 with its tube-and-lug construction some 20 years ago, then followed with the C50 in 2003, which pushed the stiffness up and weight down. I told him that we’d done all of the tests that we could on the frame and the fork, and we were certain there would be no problem. Squinzi, the Mapei boss, on the phone to me raising his concerns about using such a delicate-looking thing. The night before Paris-Roubaix, I had Mr. 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. My favorite Ernesto story goes like this: “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. This is the frame that everyone else is trying to measure up to. 14 sizes, 2 geometries, plus custom paint options. The C64 is the Flagship model for Colnago and is still made in Italy.
