One of the many new 2010 Colnago is the Rock mountain bike frame. The frame is made of carbon monocoque with aluminum rear dropouts. The short head tube houses a series of steering Colnago C-HS 1 inch and 1/8. Recall that the specificity of this series of integrated headset is easy to replace it, something not possible in the other headset. The tube is a good section, while smaller is the size of the bottom bracket. The vertical tube houses the seat from the classical diameter of 31.6 mm. The tube is proportional to the size of the rest of the tubes. The rear pipe has the size not particularly exaggerated. The frame is offered in white/red version and carbon/white. Four sizes available. The bike is offered only in frame kit version which is priced at about 1700-2000 Euro. Very high price which puts him in very high-end market. A price partly justified by the build quality of the frame, but also largely determined by the blazon "Colnago". A half then addressed more fans and admirers of the brand rather than to those who look only at price performance. The increased price of this frame, then, is not intended as a higher quality than other products and services offered around the level of 1.500 Euro. In defense of choice good assessment of the Colnago bike market.
