Colnago’s 2013 showcase pieces are quite impressive. The admiral ship of the Colnago road bike series is Colnago C59 Italia. In 2012 Tour de France, the frame won the King of The Mountains’ Polka dot jersey with Thomas Voeckler of Team Europcar.

The C59 Italia is the pin­na­cle of the 2013 Colnago range. C for “Colnago”, and 59 for the 59th anniversary of the Colnago frames. Ernesto Colnago, the legendary Italian frame builder has been producing bikes for 59 years.
