The 2012 Colnago C59 Italia presents one of Italy’s most storied brands in a package of custom made carbon fibre tubes and lugs constructed by hand in la belle Italia… R&A Cycles presents a closer look…

Two things separate me from cash pretty quickly, my love for bicycles and MotoGP. Combine the two and spending becomes a form of art. This time the Muse is Valentino Rossi. The canvas? Colnago’s range topping EPS!

The Colnago CLX was my first taste of the legendary Italian marque's ride. Delivered in a mid-priced package, it's a great all-round road bike. Pondering what I’d ride at this year’s Giro, this made a perfect platform for some serious component upgrades from Hed, Zipp, Easton, Zero Gravity, Tiso, Blackburn and more…

As a guy with the enviable access to ride a lot of different road bikes, I was long overdue in meeting the Colnago brand on a personal level. I hate to admit that I'd never actually ridden one of the most famous – even legendary – marques in cycle brands. So I was more than thrilled when Veltec Sports suggested I test ride Colnago's new carbon CLX.

We luck out again and get our wish as a nice little care package floats across the ocean and lands in out lap. PEZ roll out a personal fit session with Ernesto and his latest test bike, Colnago’s Extreme Power.
