Colnago Geometry

[orbea65]

Just out of interest, the pic of the following Extreme Power, is it an example of Colnago's compact Geometry?? It doesn't look like a full compact, but doesn't look traditional either..:

It's not like there really is a thing called "full" compact.

To use the term "compact" is slightly misleading. I prefer to use "sloping".
Compact denotes the original Giant frame design, which is really is code for
"only 3 sizes". Sloping frames can have any angle top tube, just not zero,
and come in many sizes. Colnago added some sloping sizes a couple of years
ago, and the C50's come both traditional, and sloping.

I miss the traditional c-t 50 geometry.

Sloping Colnago just ain't right. ;)

My lbs has one of those and the paintjob looks fantastic in real life.

i agree!! i think that colnago has lost it's leadership in bike building over the last 3 to 5 years. not sure what they have to do to regain that spot.
