Strengths: Components (Campy carbon record) and ride. Solid feel under all conditions.Weaknesses: None at all (but I am glad the Cinelli Ram fit me as it is not adjustable).Bottom Line: I sold my C40 to purchase the anniversary bike. After waiting 4 months for my framesize (60cm) I finally received the bike. It was absolutely worth the wait. Pictures do not do this bike justice. The nube carbon is awesome in the sun. But more importantly the ride is superior to the C40. Incredible ride. All day and comfortable.
Similar Products Used: Colnago C40 and C35
Bike Setup: Campy Record 10 speed.

Strengths: Balanced and safe. The front end is amazing. The most comfortable bike I have ridden, and the most reassuring. (And yes, the most expensive.)Weaknesses: I had read on a website - maybe this one-before delivery that the tyres were suspect. First trip out - puncture. LBS supply new inner tube. Next trip out - 30 miles - puncture in other tyre. LBS fit new tyres. 6000 miles later, same rides, no punctures. What do you think?
The saddle was awful. Swapped to a beloved (and heavier) Milremo - heaven!
Spent a few weeks "tweaking" the saddle - up/down forward/back. One day, everything snapped into focus. Weaknesses now? NONE!Bottom Line: Totally addictive bike; Stable, balanced, extremely comfortable, reassuring. "In a different league" according to Mike Perry. He's right.
Favorite Ride: Local area (Essex-UK) 30-50 miles
Purchased At: Mike Perry
Similar Products Used: Several other Colnagos - all kept.
Merckx steel. (Also retained)
Hetchins.(Winter bike)
Bike Setup: CAmpag Record.

Strengths: The workmanship on the frame natural Carbon finish and the laser etched 50 th logo's on the dura ace parts are awesomeWeaknesses: Where to park it!
Could be lighter, my Cannondale R3000 is stiffer and lighter. The Vittoria 140 lb tires were a pain to repair and so sticky I had 6 flats in 500 miles. Hind site would be to special order a serotta.Bottom Line: My 50th Anv is a sweet ride that turns heads for Colango fans but does not scream for attention. It's stiff but comfortable except on your wallet.
