The new Colnago C68 with 3D printed Titanium lugs
Built entirely by hand in Italy, blending artisan techniques and revolutionary technologies. The new C68 from Colnago is built by reinterpreting the lug assembly. A distinctive feature of the production of the C series models, which today more than ever guarantees an extremely reliable and perfectly engineered product.
The final product is a frame with modern lines but with a classic soul, with a streamlined and well-balanced tube section that guarantees higher performance than the previous series in combination with a considerable weight reduction.
The titanium version of the new C68 use lugs fabricated in precious titanium using a 3D printing technique. In particular, the lugs made with this technique are those that bind the top tube to the seatpost and head tube.
The Colnago C series is a bike for the true cycling enthusiast, seeking performance but also looking for something more. An elegant aesthetic, confident road manners and the pleasure of owning an authentic Italian-made product. In a single word, an icon. Made even more unique and precious with the use of a revolutionary 3D printing technique and the integration of a fine material such as titanium.
The version with titanium lugs is offered in a single, exclusive color (HTBK), which plays with a glossy and matte black finish, adding details in gold. It is extremely elegant and minimalist.
With the new C68, Colnago puts an end to the issue of counterfeiting thanks to BlockChain technology. An NFC tag on each frame will contain technical information about the frame and the owner, as well as certification of authenticity, making each frame unique and inimitable.
In addition to the seven sizes of the C68 Road version, it is possible to combine 16 combinations of length and width of the integrated CC.01 barstem, designed and produced by Colnago.
The C68 features fully hidden and integrated cables, and the frame is compatible exclusively for electronic or wireless groupsets.
The frame is equipped with CeramicSpeed SLT (Solid Lubrication Technology) headset bearings with a lifetime warranty. For the bottom bracket, the T47 standard is chosen (the bottom bracket is not included in the frame kit).
In addition to the headset, the frame kit also includes a carbon monocoque seatpost and a card to complete the registration of the product through Blockchain technology. We will be happy to provide all the necessary information to successfully complete the registration process. On request and for an additional fee, it is possible to include the CC.01 cockpit but the frame remains compatible with stem and handlebars from other manufacturers.

Alongside the launch of the new C68, Colnago have released a new integrated handlebar, the CC.01. Made from a single piece, monocoque construction, the CC.01 is rigid and lightweight making it the perfect companion for the C68.
In addition to the clever design and technical features, the CC.01 has been created to guarantee the widest possible range of options for a precise fit. There are 16 combinations of sizes available.
The stem length starts from 80mm and goes up to 140mm. For handlebar width, it is important to note that the measurements are not typical, using odd sizes instead of the more traditional even ones.
The shape of each handlebar includes a small 2cm flare at the drops. Therefore a 41cm measured at the levers will have a width of 43cm at the drops.
The CC.01 has a drop of 122mm and a reach of 80mm . The only size that has a different geometry is the 37, which has a drop of 119mm, a reach of 75mm and a flare of 14mm.
The CC.01 features a top stem cover which houses a convenient multitool that you will no longer be forced to carry in your pocket. There is also a dedicated computer mount that will allow you to mount a GoPro style camera.
