The Colnago C-series has always been about heritage and ride quality rather than just pure racing speed. If you had to choose your ‘forever bike,’ would you go for a pure racing machine like the Y1Rs or a handmade ‘Grand Tourer’ like this C72? Let us know why in the comments! 👇

You guys didn't get to drive a Ferrari Roma like Alex did when he had a ride on the Steelnovo special edition? Shame…
OK. You guys should know by now it is Sanremo, not San Remo. Have a word with your editor
ultrawide looks like a movie
The response to my comment on the GCN show makes way more sense now. Well played GCN. Here is your GM in 4D chess. 😊
Great production!! Also great watch on my ultrawide monitor as there were no blackbars unlike usual. Definitely something you guys should do more often with videos like these or epic adventures
What a great episode with also stunning cinematography! Thanks guys!
I don't want to even think about cost, but it is an undeniably pretty bike
Ollie and Dan look like twins, but no gcn on Dan's shirt.
beautiful bike, beautiful country,beautifuly filmed, presenters ( well you can't have everything) 🙂
Beautiful vid guys. Makes me so jealous that i'm not living in Europe anymore. The cycling culture and atmosphere here in Tijuana, Mexico is not even mentionable compared to most of Europe.
Beautiful bike. How a bike should look. Proper seat stays.
Ollie throwin Dan under the bus there at the end. Great video!
Fantastic video gents! I thoroughly enjoyed that, and have to say, I am pretty jealous right now! 👏👌😊
Ah yes, the panel gap, perfected by British low-volume sports car manufacturers of the 1900s.
Ollie having another how the fuck did I blag this job moment 😂
Aah, my C59 next to me while watching, just super nice!
Im so sorry, this for sure is one hell of a bike and everything but Colnago just lost its sexappeal :/ Used to do absolutely stunning bikes but now they just look liveless, too clean, no soul whatsoever :/ I have the feeling that so many just go for whats the best engineered, but I want my bike to be pretty, to have a certain vibe to it. But most of the time you cant even change anything to truly make it you own except maybe the bartape.
Phenomenal video: cinematic quality! Loved it! 💚
One of your best Videos ever!
Jealousy is a terrible thing. Clad you had a lovely time!!
