Is a C60 one better?

[SoCalSteve]

Than a C59?

Has anyone seen both side by side? If so, what are the changes ( if any, besides one number)?

As always, thank you all in advance!

I'm still mad at myself for not buying your C59 when you sold it.:crap::crap:

Thank you for the link! But, it doesn't really say what they did differently. In looking at pictures, I can't really see a difference.

Would love to know specifics!

Thanks,

Steve

Edit: found a link to a bike review and this picture. It tells a great deal about the two very different bikes!!!

I's like a C59 but provides convenient burrito storage in the down tube.

And we're definitely talking a grande here. No wonder some friends who would know have told me the C60 is overbuilt...

I'm a bit overbuilt myself. Too much internal burrito storage. But my Extreme Power is stiff enough for me.

In a similar vein:

It's like, how much more black could this be? and the answer is none. None more black.

I have a C59 now and it isn't 9 better than the C50 I stupidly sold, so no guarantee that the C60 would be an entire awesome unit better, but if it rides more like the C50 it could be.

It sounds like you liked your c50 better than your c59. Why? Thx!

Outstanding!! I laughed out loud. I built up a C59 last year. I bought my frame just after the C60's were released and chose the 59. For me, stiffness wasn't the priority. The ride quality of the C59 is amazing! I have to admit, at the risk of sounding the luddite, the new BB design on the C60 was a contributor to my decision. I am a fan of the traditional english threaded BB (oops, I guess I am a luddite). The 2014 C59 allowed for either electronic or mechanical drive trains, I chose the former, and the routing was super easy. I am very happy with the choice, I'm also sure that C60 owners are super happy with their bikes. How could on e not be...they're Colnagos!!

I'm not sure if I could put my finger on it exactly, especially in 'marketing lingo', maybe it was less stiff but it felt like a bike you could ride all day and it for sure descended more confidently than the C59, maybe wheel base is slightly longer, I think the seat/head angle are about the same.

Aesthetically, the C50 was airbrushed and the C59 isn't so tick to the C50.
