Colnago All New Aero Bike

[cleanneon98]

I still think this looks like something a 5 year old would draw if you described a bicycle to them, it's like a combination of of the unique styling traits from numerous bikes but somehow none of it looks good together and that rear end is just worthy and I don't see how it's going to improve compliance or aero.

No, it's only the angle. Look at the left side of the bar and you can see it's raised.

Makes sense

Right now, I'm really feeling the aesthetics of the frame—it's got a fresh look, kind of like when the S5 came out. Colnago fanboys might not be on board, but this is exactly why the industry and bike brands have been stuck playing it safe with designs. Just like the S5, though, everyone was initially hesitant, but opinions shifted. We'll just have to wait and see, but I think this might be a success. I wouldn’t be surprised if, in a couple of years, other brands start following suit

Which s5 are you talking about? Cervelo has a long history of unapologetically funky aero designs, and the s5 disc was preceded by a pretty non-triangular s5 rim. So I don't remember being particularly shook by the disc s5, at least it supplanted this monstrosity:



It's true that somewhere along the way, cervelo went from dentist bike to racer bike, which is strange because they always had a wt team, but somehow jumbo visma sold the bike in a way that CSC and slipstream never could manage. Or maybe it's just that aero weenie-ism went from fringe to mainstream.

C'mon man. posting a full fred spec version

Cav's 2016 S5

That's not the same bike, as someone else pointed out (and I didn't realize or forgot), they updated the rim brake version. The stack got much lower among other changes. But this supports my original point even more: cervelo evolved towards the current s5 instead of making a giant leap.

(Also the cav version is by and large not what you see IRL, the fred version is. Although the current s5 is harder to fred out due to the greater degree of cockpit integration.)

def flatter bars but makes sense to get bar drop. I'm curious how the rear looks on small frames where that seatpost/downtube intersection starts to disappear.

The seatpost angle is a good bit slacker than standard. I wouldn't be surprised if there is some decent flex compared to most seatposts.

Edit: Holy moly, $7000 for a frameset?!?!?!

priced similiar to pina dogma . what were you expecting sl8 prices LOL

The stack police will not be happy. Colnago added a piece of covering to make it look more "neater"?/"integrated?" with the higher stack.

[robbosmans]

Keep in mind this is still a pre production version, some stuff will be cleaned up and covered for the production frames

[Jz91]

Yeah, the bolts on the bar will be covered. It's also possible to assume that that stack on the geo chart includes the bar stack with no spacers (similar to Cervelo if I'm not wrong).

That would be interesting if Colnago did that. I'm looking at the geo at the official Colnago site, it shows the top of the stack line horizontal to the top of the headtube.

Selfishly, I fit well with my sizing on this frame. 58cm Aethos frame, 0 offset, -6 110 stem with 40 zipp Sl-80 race handlebar (bought it when the Red E1 came out - Love it), just need to add 20mm of spacers, lol. I'll ask a friend who's a bike fitter how that really slack seatpost will affect my fitting

If cervelo does that, imo, it's wrong. I have limited knowledge but in my mind stack is to the headset. Many bike have proprietary stems/handlebars and stack does not cover those. And they have not in the past, at least for the majority (again... my limited knowledge).

Why would colnago mess up how people read geometry tables now just beucase they did a somewhat different bike? People still need to read and compare those geo tables as they used to in the past. How would you simulate the bikes fit? Define a 0mm stack height for the stem part? Again... if cervelos does that, imo, it's dumb.

What is that at the top of the bottle cage area? Is that the "Blockchain Technology" noted on the website? Normally the aero bottle cage is there. Maybe thats for DI2.
