A HALF-CENTURY OF HISTORY
With over 55 years of building superb bicycles, Colnago's heritage is unsurpassed
From the very first bicycles to bear the Colnago logo in 1954, to classics such as the Master and modern landmarks like the C50 and EPS, Colnago has been deeply committed to advancing the racing bicycle.
Our commitment comes from a deep love for the excitement and energy of racing, a love that goes back to the racing career of the young Ernesto Colnago. A competitive youngster, Colnago realised his talents really lay in building frames and supporting riders as a master mechanic. The story of Colnago bicycles and the story of Colnago’s connections with racing are therefore deeply interwoven.
Colnago has always innovated the design and construction of our bicycles to give our riders a competitive edge. Early in Ernesto Colnago’s career he realised that a shorter, more upright frame design would be more responsive, but bicycles of the time were designed for comfort on poor road surfaces. As roads improved he was able to introduce modern racing bicycle geometry.
