Strengths: Looks
Stiffness
Soft ride feeling
Responsiveness to pedal input
Weaknesses: None so far.Bottom Line: I made a decission to move from mountain bikes to road bike and purchase this beutiful frame.
So far Could not be happier on my decisison, now I can go farther and farther and want to continue riding.
Excellent frame, the softness continue to amaze me thanks to the rear carbon b-stay on any road condition. The frame responds to the minimun imput from the pedals due to a great level of stiffness. I can go for 50-75 Miles with minimun signs of fatigue. The steering is very precise but and will require some time getting use to it, this is basically due to the straight bladed force fork.It is also important to mention that this bike always catch the attention of other biker.
Bottom Line it is a superior bike that I would recommend to anyone...defintely Colnago knows how to build frames!!!

Strengths: stiff frame but oh so soft with the carbon force fork and carbon b stay rear.Weaknesses: none so farBottom Line: Picked up this bike yesterday from R&A cyles in Brooklyn. I put 75 miles on it. In short i did not put the bike to the limit this baby put me to the limit. It's a sexy ride totally asking me to push it even more. Out of the saddle, or grinding up a hill or sprinting this baby responds.Really great response as soon as i touch the pedals.
Favorite Ride: italy from venice to rome

Strengths: nice geometry makes a stable and comfortable bike.
The non-integrated headset is a big plus for me.Weaknesses: bad paintjob
poor qualitycontrol
pretty heavyBottom Line: Got this bike as kind of a sponsordeal and have used it in races and for training for about a year now. Biggest issues with this bike has been a hole in the b-stay that colnago didn't want to take care of so I had to put some CF on it myself to prevent water from coming in to my frame. Other bad thing is the paintjob. Although nice when new it chips very easy when small stones etc. hit the frame when you ride. The top layer is also quite soft so it scratches easily. I have a white frame so it shows more (color not my own choice btw.)
Only paintjob I had that was worse than this one was on another bike frome colnago...
Now for the positive stuff! The bike really rides nice. Its not superstiff, I guess this is due to the rear end, but it's pretty comfortable even in 200 km races over bad roads. I also like the handling of the bike, you can clearly feel the experience colnago has in the way the bike handles. It's very stable and good for cornering at the same time.
I have a 57 cm, but for bigger riders who like to sprint out of the saddle the bike may not be stiff enough
Favorite Ride: the nice and easy monday morning ride with some teammates.

Strengths: Light, good looking, doesn't talk back!Weaknesses: None untill nowBottom Line: I just wanted all you people out there to know what you're missing if you haven't ridden a bike like this one! I used to have a steel race-bike... and now this alu/carbon 'Dream'!! And this is just what it is; the ride is smooth, reacts swiftly on any move. It looks great too! I'd take it to bed with me (that's how much I like it), but my wife wouldn't let me ;-)
Favorite Ride: any ride with nice views
