Strengths: Lightness, looks, fantastic handling.Weaknesses: Very shinny gloss coat and the frame can easily be chipped.Bottom Line: Colnago E1 - you have pride owning a Colnago when you turn up to any long distance event, pull out the bike it's like all great brands the history of frame building is one of the best and when you ride a long sportive you feel proud at the finish, why? because i guess it's like having a classic or fast car it gives you a good feeling time after time.

Strengths: Great feel, comfortable even on long rides, fast as hell, corners greatWeaknesses: none yet....Bottom Line: I see many complaints about Colnago's customer service, but fortunately for I have not had to deal with that. My Dura Ace equipped E-1 has absolutely no problems. I over tightened the seat stay once and got a white flash of carbon flex, but that was my fault. I put Zipp 404's on the bike 2 weeks ago and instantly added 3 mph with no additional effort. I notice this bike simply coasts pasts others in the group rides, even as they pedal and I coast. All I am missing is a ceramic BB. I love this bike and consider myself lucky to get it 2nd hand, at a great price and without some of the complaints I have read. Good luck to the rest of you Colnago owners, we are few.

Strengths: Classic good looks - light(ish) - very stiff yet comfortable - absolutely no flex (compared to my Giant). Gets lots of comments, particularly on the continent.Weaknesses: The lacquer is terrible for such a pampered bike. As i bought it second hand i have no warranty recourse, although i hear it is poor. Despite my love of this bike, i don't think i would buy a new model due to the rhetoric about poor after sales support and slow turn around times. I'll stick with 2nd Hand. The seat tube bottle boss can only take a 500ml bottle on a 48S Frame - the bosses are too high, as there is sufficient space to drop them. This is a big problem if you ride sportives or gran fondo's !Bottom Line: As i have a collection of steel Masters and couldn't justify the price of a C50, i thought i would pitch at a second hand E1 to sample the Carbon range. The E1 looks cool in PR00 design, with Black Record Carbon Gruppo and Ksyrium ES. Not sure about weight, but not as light as previous Giant TCR Composite, probably 16.5lbs. Used this bike for better training rides, longer road races, gran fondo's, some crits but the most pleasing ride was a week in the French Alps, ticking off the big climbs a week ahead of the tour, and riding the alpe d'huez Time Trial. As my lightest bike it never dissapoints - climbs extremely well, comfortably, stiff beyond my power output and tracks perfectly. In short - every bit as good as it looks.
