Colnago C68 Dura-Ace Di2 Disc Road Bike
The new pinnacle of Italian bicycle craftsmanship
Colnago C68 Lugs & Frame: The number of parts that complete the frame is the same as with the previous C series (C64). Even though from an aesthetics point of view, its lines and styling may be more similar to that of a frame manufactured in one piece. There are still some visible joints on the C68 to trace back to our root, while other joints would appear invisible due to the new streamlined design.
Colnago C68 Headtube: The new split headtube is now stronger, lighter and more customizable than ever. The new layout allows stack and reach variations, along with improved stiffness for an enhanced riding experience.
Colnago C68 Fork: The fork changes from the previous TFS 'D' shape with the complex internal rib and the full length bonded metal thread bolt for a much simpler, elegant and lighter round 1"1/8 tube. To run the brake housing inside we have adopted a special patented eccentric headset system, without having to use the larger cumbersome and heavy 1.5" bearing.
Colnago C68 Bottom Bracket : The C68 now boosts a revised bottom bracket, with the switch from our previous TF82.5 to a more "standard" and easy to find T47. The system works the same way, with an oversized bb shell and internal bearings housed in alloy threaded cups. You can assemble your C68 with a standard BB from Sram and Campagnolo, while you can use premium products such as Ceramic Speed, Chris King and many other offerings for compatibility with Shimano 24mm axles.
Colnago C68 Integrated Multitool: Returning to a round steerer tube allows us to put a touch of "we ride too" into the bike. Everyone needs, at some point, a multitool to face every small adjustment that may be required during an epic or not so epic ride (like a flat tire). So we integrated that tool into the headset top cap. Rotate and pull, that's it.
Colnago C68 Other Features: The frame weight for a raw size 485 is around 925gr, just 10gr more (935gr) for the titanium version.
