The quartet of Italy wins the gold medal of the Team Time Trial Quartet at the World Championships in Palermo in 1994. This choice was made to allow the four riders to reduce the space of the train and make the most of the effect of the wake. Designed to be extremely aerodynamic, it boasted a very small 20-inch front wheel. It is a bicycle with a carbon fiber monocoque frame, designed and developed in collaboration with the Ferrari Engineering department and presented on the Fiorano circuit. In his honor, a C59 in a special color is made for the last stage of Paris. At the end of the seventeenth stage, the last mountain, he remains at the top of the special classification, ensuring the final victory. On 13 July, during the stage of the Tour de France, from Morzine to Saint Jean de Maurienne, Anthony Charteau is the first to pass the Col de la Madeleine and wear the polka dot jersey of best climber. Abraham Olano won the 1995 Road World Championship on this bike. This solution was designed to minimize the effects of lateral flexion-torsional stresses that are triggered during pedaling, improving performance and driving stability. This part already split from the head tube (on which it is welded) to arrive spread out on the bottom bracket. This frame descends directly from the Carbitubo and features the diagonal two-tube solution printed on the titanium. A futuristic bike: it was created in 1988. It could boast some innovative features including: the carbon fiber frame with conjunctions, the gearbox integrated in the crankset with selector on the down tube, the three-spoke carbon fiber wheels, the extendable stem and the braking system with hydraulic cables. The Concept is a futuristic bike, the first conceived in collaboration with the Ferrari Engineering department. The eight Colnago models mentioned in the C64 NFT include the “Concept” (1988) developed with Ferrari Engineering and featuring a frame with carbon fiber lugs and an internal gearbox the C35 Crono TTT bicycle (1994) which featured a 20 inch front wheel to improve aerodynamics and a V3Rs (2020) which was used by Slovenian champion Tadej Pogačar to win last year’s Tour de France.
The Colnago C64 NFT will be auctioned on the OpenSea platform at this link. The auction will open on May 11 with starting at € 5,515 (the suggested retail price of a Colnago C64 frame kit with custom paint) and will close on May 25. Luxury brands such as Gucci, Ferrari and Dom Perignon have since announced their intention to create certifications of their products using blockchain technology as well. NFT art gained worldwide notoriety in 2021, when one of the world’s leading auction houses sold an NFT artwork by digital artist Beeple for a record $ 69 million. The coolest thing is that the C64 NFT will never be produced, because it will be digital only. “We have developed a digital C64 that is a celebration of some of our most significant bikes and major victories in our history, including the first carbon bike and the first concept bike with internal drivetrain.
Manolo Bertocchi, Colnago Marketing Director. The first NFT bicycle is no different,” he said. “Colnago has a history of almost 67 years, during which it has demonstrated its ability to innovate and propose new technologies that have subsequently become commonplace. That would be a sweet bike that would last for years and never go out of date, but it would be a cruiser rather than a racer.In FEATURED ARTICLES, LATEST ARTICLES, VELOPATHICĬolnago has announced, it will be auctioning eight of its historic bikes using digital NFT (Non Fungible Token) and blockchain technology, the first bike brand to adopt this new monetary system. I reckon I could have a really sweet bike built up with all new gear for about 2k. That means you might be one percent slower up a few climbs. You treat it like a classic car though and understand that you are not competing against the latest and greatest - you are riding it to enjoy. In a world where 8 out of 10 bikes look pretty much the same to me, a nice steel colnago is always lovely to see. If you just want a nice bike to ride and are a bit older, a 90's colnago, with a more modern group like campag veloce would be a lovely thing that would be everything other than super light. I then sold the frame for a few hundred bucks so it really cost me nothing for the 10 odd years of service it gave me. I had a nice super that I did many many miles on after a quick respray - it was a lovely bike that I got for a few hundred bucks. You can buy a nice lower model colnago steel frame for not that much and for a couple of hundred more have it painted in any design you like - all the decals are easy to get.
