Winter is coming, and off-road training is a good way to stay fit during winter. Here are Colnago Cyclocross and Mountain Bike 2014 series by the legendary Italian frame builder Ernesto Colnago.
Colnago maintained strict quality in producing fast, safe, and comfortable bikes – road, mountain, and cyclocross, for decades.
Colnago Cyclocross series – Prestige 2014
Prestige is the top-of-the-line model of the Colnago cyclocross series. Developed with input from cycle-cross legend Sven Nys, the Cross Prestige is the ultimate carbon-fiber cross frame. A monocoque front triangle makes it tough and light, while lugged seatstays and chainstays maximize the tire clearance. The unique support between the top tube and seat tube developed at Sven Nys’s request to increase carrying comfort when on the shoulder.
Sven Nys; born 17 June 1976 in Bonheiden, Belgium) is a professional cyclist who has won his most important victories in cyclo-cross races.
Nys is considered one of the greatest cyclo-cross racers ever by his peers and prominent figures of the cyclo-cross world. Nys is the leading man in cyclo-cross in the 21st century.
