So the ugliness will beat even the Bianchi?
Impossible unless they stick pieces of plastic cable ducting for offices to the side of head tube.

Colnago just posted on their Instagram that they are realising a new bike 9th of December.
Looks like a new aero bike, tagline is "Built to defy wind"...

That's an interesting looking teaser! No more Enve bars (Kidding... :D )

I see Colnago evolving similar to how Pinarello had to evolve with Team Sky. They have to (IMO)
I hope it looks better when we can see the whole bike because it looks absolutely awful in that picture
In fact it's just so bad that the rear of the frame looks like a Steelworks Roadstar steel frame.
New P5 basically looks like that.

Once Pogi wins a world tour on it, it won't look so ugly. Just the way it goes.

If we're to quote Enzo Ferrari “Race cars(bikes) are neither beautiful nor ugly. They become beautiful when they win.”. On the other hand he did also say that aerodynamics are for people who can't build engines.

So how would you mount your headunit in an elegant way on this?

First one to photoshop it to read "Built to break wind" gets... okay, that's stupid, even for me.
Or built to make the Oltre less ugly :mrgreen:

What am I missing? How is everyone so convinced it's ugly based on that picture? It looks like oddly shaped bar/stem. I can see how it could veer Bianchi....but it could also trend S5; which I think is a very attractive bike.

Doesn't look ugle to me either.

I mean, everyone can make the same bikes they have always been making, or someone can try to change the status quo (a bit). I prefer the latter from time to time so that we have more variety.

*I might be required to eat humble pie after seeing the final result! :)

Looks interesting, I can't really roast funky designs given the fact that my bike also has polarizing styling and I've come to appreciate a lot of the non-traditional designs like S5, Dogma X, LaPierre, Seka, etc. I wonder if this will bring back the Concept name, or replace something existing in the lineup.
