Milram Colnago C50 Crono

Colnago first breathed life into the idea of using carbon when he collaborated with Ferrari to create a carbon Colnago/Ferrari bike in the late 80's..

Colnago's top end Italian bikes feature carbon lugs and tubes. The tubes of Colnago frames are: made in Italy with the highest quality standards. The tubes are the sum of overlapped layers of unidirectional carbon and then glued together,

Milram bikes are completed with a Shimano group, PRO wheels, with ProLogo/Colnago saddles, FSA bars and Panaracer tyres.

Rabobank Colnago's are almost identical, but can be singled out by a splash of orange and Selle San Marco saddles, Vittoria tyres and Pro bars and stems.
