The new frame Colnago World Cup is a unique project that shares with the previous model just the name. The frame uses derives by studies on the Prestige cyclocross frame, introduced last year. In fact, much like is the frame geometry and the characteristic of the tube and its conjunction with the curved seat tube. This unique profile makes it easier to transport the bike on his shoulder. The frame tubes are made of aluminum, with a head of steering Colnago C-HS2 bearing 1 inch and 1/8. The frame is then blended with the Shimano 105 group. The group includes commands, gear, the derailleur, the sprocket and chain. The crank is FSA, with crowns46/36. Also FSA are the brakes, the stem, the handlebar and seatpost, all in aluminum. The saddle is custom Colnago. The wheels are standard Shimano WH-R500. So assembled, the bike has cost about 1350 Euro, there is no frame kit. A model that just to get started in cyclocross, a bike with high quality performance and good reliability. The price is correct. In addition to the races is also addressed to all those who want a versatile bike, also do cyclocross, but not all. For a sporting use pays a weight content though not aligned with competitors of equal cost, while the remaining high-level riding skills. Excellent reliability of the Shimano 105 group. Reliable, if not read, the wheels. Perfect, however, his use of recreational use, not competitive, which highlights a great build quality, appearance and excellent personal qualities of leadership already mentioned.
