In the Airing version, these are positioned to increase airflow between the saddle and your rear end. The CPC bit consists of tiny, grippy cooling tower-shaped cones, which hold the fabric of your shorts to help stop you slipping around, even when it’s wet or you have worked up a sweat. It’s the CPC Airing version on Tirox rails. I get on well with the Prologo Scratch 2 saddle – here with Colnago co-branding.
Although these don’t make use of the full 28mm clearance, they are grippy and fast. The test bike’s tyres are Vittoria Corsa 25mm. The disc-brake C64 has even more clearance. It uses direct mount Campagnolo brakes, although there’s still a bridge between the seatstays to ensure rigidity and braking effectiveness. Like the V2-R aero bike, the C64 has clearance for 28mm tyres. I did find I could induce a bit of rear brake rub if I had the brake pads set up too close to the rim, though. The rear wheel comes with 21 spokes in Campagnolo’s distinctive G3 clustered spoke pattern, which it claims improves power transfer and rigidity, while the front has 18 radial spokes. The test C64 comes with Super Record EPS groupset They have a positive click, which means that you are sure when you’ve made a shift and you can shift multiple sprockets by holding them down. They’re very comfortable to ride on the hoods and the inboard shifter levers are easy to reach. I’m a fan of Campagnolo’s shifters’ ergonomics. > Colnago owners' day celebrates the brand's heritageĬampag’s top-spec groupset gives you the shifting quality you’d expect, with sharp, pin-point accurate gear changes front and rear. If you’re not prepared to wait to ride your C64, you can buy the frameset from UK stock and have it built up by your retailer. The full build is a special order from Colnago in Italy and is offered with Shimano or SRAM mechanical groupsets too. With all the other finishing kit Colnago branded, it makes for an all-Italian theme. The C64 that we have been testing is equipped with Campagnolo Super Record EPS and Campagnolo Bora Ultra carbon clinchers. You also get full-carbon dropouts front and rear. This includes cable guides moulded into the bottom of the lug, although these aren’t used in the Super Record EPS build which we’ve tested. It continues to use Colnago’s ThreadFit standard, but a collaboration with bearing specialist CeramicSpeed has improved the bearings used in the wide bottom bracket shell. The bottom bracket lug has also been redesigned. Colnago says that it has stiffened up the head tube with its new design
