Top Features of the Colnago Extreme C Road Bike Frame 2008

  • Italian 70mm bottom bracket shell
  • Braze-On front mech boss
  • 28mm seat post fitment
The Extreme C is constructed of entirely of round tubing with shorter lugs in order to save weight.

The exception is the rear end of the bike, where Colnago uses its proprietary Leaf Shaped Chain Stays and B-Stays, which maximize power transfer while absorbing bumps and road vibration. Perfect for riders who shine when the road tilts upward, the EXtreme C weighs under 1000g (55cm frameset)

The Extreme C was created specifically for the uphill time trial on the Alpe du Huez during the 2004 Tour de France. The riders were so impressed by the specially-designed bike that they continued to ride it for the rest of the season. Word of the bike's strength traveled to all of Colnago's pro teams, and more riders began to requesting it.

One of those riders was Michael Rasmusson, who went on to win the Climbers Jersey in the Tour in 2005. After Denis Menchov's victory in the 2005 Vuelta de Espana, the bike was introduced to the public, 2006 brought another Climber's Jersey in the Tour for Ramusson, and more recognition for the bike.

The Extreme C is an extremely light frameset designed for both professional and amateur riders, ideally suited to longer distance events with varied terrain.

The frame comes supplied with a pair of Carbon 75 Forks, a bottom bracket cable guide and headset expander.

All Colnago frames come with a 2 year warranty against defects in workmanship



Please note, pictured is the EITA version. The PR00 is black with white decals, but no coloured strip underneath the decal on the downtube.

About Frames - Road

Road frames have come a long way in recent years with new advancements in technology and materials. Carbon fibre, aluminium and titanium are all widely used now as well as the more traditional steel tubesets. They all have their own advantages: aluminium offers good performance at a reasonable price, titanium offers ultimate performance at a premium price while carbon fibre offers superb comfort and performance at intermediate cost. It is not uncommon for the materials to be mixed to give the benefits of all the materials in one frame - a carbon fibre rear end on an aluminium frame, for example. Here at Wiggle we list a selection of road frames to suit most budgets, from the affordable aluminium frames right up to the technically advanced carbon and titanium frames from leading manufacturers.

About the Colnago brand

Ernesto Colnago was born in Cambiago, a small rural village twenty kilometers east of Milano on February 9, 1932. Ernesto was just 13 years old, but to start work, he had to be at least 14. He changed the date on his working papers and so was hired as an assistant welder. It was 1954 when Colnago went out on his own in a tiny little workshop, his bicycles have been used by more than 100 professional team, 2,500 professional racers, who have won more than 7,500 wins worldwide. Champion riders of the caliber of Fiorenzo Magni, Gastone Nencini, Eddy Merckx, Giuseppe Saronni, Gianni Motta, Gibì Baronchelli, Michele Dancelli, Gianni Bugno, Oscar Freire, Johan Museeuw, Tony Rominger, Pavel Tonkov, Yaroslaw Popovych, Erik Zabel e Alessandro Petacchi, and many others, have ridden Colnago Bicycles to victory. As the great researcher and innovator he is, Colnago created the first frameset in carbon fibre in collaboration with Ferrari Engineering in 1986. The next year, the innovative straight-blade “Precisa” was created. In 1989, two years later, the dramatic Colnago “C35” emerged, an innovative monocoque carbon fibre frame in road racing & mountain bike versions. 1994 was a hallmark year when Colnago introduced the ground-breaking “C40” carbon fibre frameset for his 40th anniversary and still a reference point today. No other frame has won as much as the Colnago C40: 5X Paris-Roubaix and many World Championships. In 2000 another remarkable model emerged from Colnago’s atelier: the limited edition CF1, created in collaboration with Ferrari that quickly became a major success. Next was the CF2 dual-suspension mountain bike in 2002. After ten years of success in every segment, Ernesto Colnago launched the “C50” in 2003. It was the Fiftieth Anniversary of his company, a brand that has become synonymous with the best bicycles the world over, synonymous with the best products Made in Italy. This new carbon fibre composite frame quickly found success in both the competition and sales arena. And for 2004, for the official anniversary of Colnago, a special collectors item bicycle was created, the “50th Anniversary”. Ernesto Colnago continues to dream about and create bicycles appreciated by riders passionate about cycling all over the world. Don’t ask Colnago which of his bicycles is the best: his answer is always the same. “I’ve made a lot of bicycles, but the most beautiful is the one that is yet to come.” For more info on Colnago please feel free to view Bike Radar's article on them.
