Hi folks - long time forum lurker and even longer long time Colnago owner!
I notice that Windwave had both the C68 Road and C68 All-Road framesets on their website this morning (wanted to see the UK GBP prices). Same colour schemes for both versions. Same prices too. £5069.95 is not that far off the C64 (I'll be using Maestro though).
I'm in the like it a lot camp. I'm just not sure how the C59 will feel when I bring one home...

My LBS has just got one in late last night, he's still building it up, but popped to take a look and I really like it...
I'm not or have ever been a Colnago owner. When I compare against the C64 (we put them next to each other in the shop), it's obviously goes away from the more tradditional C design.. are back towards a more aggressive bike and there's the finish is lovely. One thing also not to overlook is the new integrated handlebar is also really nice design. Apparently building it up has also been really easy.
It's just made the top of my next bike list....

I really like the looks but if a killer deal on a C64 rim brake showed up I'd buy that.
I'm just getting old to the point that the prices shock me. As much as I'm a Colnago fan, I'd probably buy a $3,300 Aethos or Tarmac SL7 before a $7,100 C68 if I'm going to go disc and electronic shifting. It makes the S-Works SL7 look inexpensive at $5,500!

so the Ti bit is basically like the top third of the headtube.. and that's it ?

It is a decent looking bike, I think they'll sell well.
It does seem a little mad that for the top spec ti-lugged version you can buy a BMW S1000RR 200bhp superbike though

I sometimes wonder if "Colnago' is Italian for 'profit margin.' The only way I could see that price justified if it's sold by the pound....
