IMHO anything that looks like a c60 must ride like the wind...

Looks like the usual suspects online reviews are positive.

But who would want to ride this… ?

I have it on good authority that it's quite simply the finest bike ever produced. Sold only through the finest shops in the world...

The October issue of "Road Bike" features the C60. It's stiffer and has less vibration damping compared to the C59. I wouldn't want more vibration. The C59 is plenty stiff enough. The only benefit I would get would be more tire clearance from the 60.

Sounds like a winning combination to me!

I didn't see where Road Bike reviewer mentioned 'less vibration dampening'. Notice where you would feel fresh after an all day ride. Any comment on how they felt after 'all day'on the c60?

If you or any other Paceliner wants to demo a Colnago C-60 give me a couple days notice and I can let you out on a 54S (56.5 horizontal TT)... Ride it yourself, why believe the media?

I wish I could take you up on that, might be a little big, and I would be ruined for the bikes I can afford. :beer

So if you're looking for the ultimate marriage of man and machine, they can supply the machine...

Man sold separately, your mileage may vary, batteries not included...

I'm no hard-core cyclist, but I've done enough long rides to know that if anyone is still fresh after an all-day ride, then they haven't been pedaling hard enough.

In fact, about the only thing I'll still feel fresh in after a 12 hr trip would be one of these jets:

Hmmm. That's my size. For a true test, I guess I'd better ride my Extreme Power to the shop, borrow the C60 for a day, and decide which one I'd prefer to ride home on!
