ITALIAN CYCLING HERITAGE
A Legacy Built on Passion and Innovation
Founded in 1954 by Ernesto Colnago in Cambiago, Italy, Colnago has become an enduring symbol of prestigious road cycling. Its story is inseparable from generations of champions, remarkable bicycles and a commitment to continually advancing frame design.
From the distinctive craftsmanship of the C Series to the race-focused V5Rs and the aerodynamic Y1Rs, each Colnago expresses a different vision of exceptional road performance.
At André Cycle, we help you explore these differences and select the Colnago that matches your ambitions, riding style and vision of the perfect bicycle.
