Colnago C59/C60

[johnny1221]

I thought I'd call on the collective wisdom of the forum members. I'm considering purchasing either a Colnago C59 or C60. If anyone has had the opportunity to ride both I'd be interested in your impressions of the differences between the two. I'm not a racer but do enjoy fast group rides. I'm thinking the C60 may be a little too stiff and the C59 might be a better choice but there are no Colnago dealers where I live so my experience so far has been limited to a very short test ride on a C60 wearing blue jeans and running shoes on a flat road.

Any feedback would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

I ride a C60 so I can only give that point of view. I never have felt the C60 was a super stiff bike. instead I think its about to most well balance race bike I have ever ridden. Really its the nicest bike I have ever ridden. I would recommend anyone who does wants a fast bike that is not a super agro race bike to buy this one. You are not going to go wrong with this bike

Here's a pretty good review of the C60 with lots of comparisons so the C59...
