Not sure exactly on dates etc - the norm previously, has been end of year ordering 30 Jun - new year start ordering 01 July
They then go on holidays for August and then start building in September, so expect to see them Oct/Nov

The photo you have there i think is a custom paint job by Colnago!!

Will post the new colours on our Facebook page tomorrow :)

I so badly want one of these bad boys and I simply adore their look and styling, but apparently (note i use the word apparently) they don't hold speed very well and have less aerodynamics than a wheel barrow......

Can anyone confirm the above two things I have heard about them???

@ ardennes777. I ride c59, identical geometry. Nonsense is all I can say. C59 & C60 are race bikes and ridden by pros.

"Hold Speed Very Well"!!! I've never heard such a load of rubbish! It's a race bike! Ridden by pro's! The speed is in your legs!

As the other post says C59 and C60 have identical geometry. The 60 is stiffer but unless your a pro I'd doubt you'd see the benefit.

I love my C59
However, there are much lighter and aero bikes on the market... thats a point.

Ridden by pro's is not an argument.... they do not have a choice, as they are sponsored...
I know for example in the Rabobank time, Rasmussen was very unhappy that he needed to ride a colnago! But indeed... he had no choice.

Pros rarely win because of the bike their on. It's what's in their legs. The difference in performance in bikes used in the pro peloton is tiny. Weight? For the average amateur the difference between the average top end frame would be lost in their water bottles, spare tubes, tools they carry.......What does make a difference is fit, does the bike handle and give you confidence, way more important than 200grms in frame weight.

Pinarello shared the 2016 bikes and colors!

F8 remains same, only other colors added.
But the added also a disc version on the F8....
