Colnago C40 Maintenance+BUILD
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 лют 2025
- The Colnago C40 is the first break through carbon model from the Italian workshop of Ernesto Colnago, and our great friend and dearest fan Jakub bought it for his stable. By the way Kuba is the owner of the Colnago Master from our most viewed video! In today's video, I first remove all the remaining parts from the frame and then give the frame a good clean and polish. For the build Kuba added parts so that the Campagnolo Record titanium is a complete set. The titanium Cinelli stem is the icing on the cake! The result is a beautiful and perfectly functional piece of cycling history...
Colnago C40 je prvním karbonovým veleúspěšným modelem z italské dílny Ernesta Colnaga a náš velký kamarád a fanoušek Jakub si ho pořídil do své stáje. Mimochodem Kuba je majitelem Colnago Master z našeho nejsledovanějšího videa! V dnešním videu nejprve sundám z rámu všechny zbylé díly a pak rám pořádně vyčistím a vyleštím. Na stavbu Kuba doplnil díly tak aby Campagnolo Record titanium byla kopletní sada a titanový Cinelli představec třešničkou na dortu! Výsledkem je krásný a dokonale funkční kus cyklistické historie...
Master, one of the nicest framedesigns
One of the Best bikes Ever 💪🏻
Thank you for your support.
Krásný. Zrovna marně sháním tento rám v 58 velikosti. Je to skvost a pěkná práce. Díky
Děkuji za podporu, C40 je super, pořád chce jet dopředu!
Super cool,one of the best bike I’ve ever seen in video, thank you my friend.👍👍👍
Thank you very much for your support friend.
whenever I watch your builds I go out to my garage and look at my old 80s racing bike frame hanging up there. It was made by a UK frame builder called Major Nichols - in Reynolds 531 throughout. I've been meaning for years now to get it resprayed and built back up. failing health means I'll never ride it again, but just to have it to look at would give me a boost! I need to hurry up before it's too late!!!
It doesn't matter how fast and how much you ride your bike... the main thing is that you ride! Three years ago I started cycling again and it was scary, I was afraid I wouldn't get home from 30km! This year I rode almost 100 km 3 times a week and it was great. Even if you were to ride the bike that you have spread out in the garage only "around the chimney", it would be great! Do it! Now! ...and thank you very much for your huge support my friend.
A very nice video, and nice upgrades to the bicycle. Last August I purchased a Gen 1 C40 (c. 1994-97) with an identical Art Decor paint scheme to the one in the video, although mine has a Colnago-branded Time Stiletto carbon fork. I am using Chorus 9-speed components. Although not the lightest bike, it is more than just beautiful: the C40 offers an amazing ride, particularly on descents. Wonderful...and three decades on I could finally afford one!
Congratulations on your C40, it's a perfect bike, I have two and I hope they still remember when I was young and cycling fast...
Nice. Legendary brand bike frame... Legendary component brand... Beautiful work... What more can I say... Thank you...
👍
So cool! Thanks a lot for this beautiful display of craftsmanship and what an artful bicycle!
Thank you very much!
Super Super Nice and thank you for this clip.❤. I've C40 exactly same as yours and will be baked this December 😊.
Thank you for your support.
La decoración de ese cuadro Colnago es una obra de arte.
El ajuste de los puentes de freno es muy curioso , un buen invento.
Y el montaje, una vez más es perfecto.
Gracias por tus vídeos y saludos desde España.
Muchas gracias amigo
Enjoyed your vid immensely,, I’’ve mentioned before I always find watching you work so relaxing. From the brake guide position on the DT (as opposed the HT lug) think you may have a Mark II C40 there (?). Also dual thin seat stays. Great choices for the general refurbishment, nice its now all returned to 9 speed Record Campagnolo. Sensitive and sympathetic rebuild, nice touch on the TT cable guide and also using the gold Connex chain . Makes it feel as though summer has returned ! Chapeau my friend 👍 🌞
It's definitely a C40 older than my two frames. I have one with two thin seat stays, but already with holders for the shifting bowden, and I have one with a seat stay. Here is also the original bracket for the double shifter...Thank you for huge support.
Fantastic refurbishment as always! Also appreciated your changing the stem. Upward facing steerer stem not only looks wrong, it is ILLEGAL. (Few people know this). Keep the great vids going!
Thank you very much my friend.
Thanks so much.
Thank you for your support.
I have the same, with star fork and record 10. Brand new never been ridden. With campagnolo hyperon carbon. Amazing bike pice of art.
I had a Hyperon in 2003, they were great bikes. unfortunately I then sold them... Thank you for watching the video.
It's sooo great to see a similar bicycle with mine!
Actually I have a Colnago C40 1st gen Art Decor, with Johan Mousseuw's Campione del mondo sticker and Steel precisa fork.
And also put nimble crosswind pairs for my satisfaction(the air-splitting sound of this wheel is priceless), instead of Spinergy rev-X wheelset due to safety issues.
It might be the earliest version I guess, despite I resurrected this beauty with modern dura ace groupset and used modern carbon fork.
Even though it is not the latest one, but this is by far the most aesthetic, comfortable, and heritage-owning bicycle that I ever had.
It is a shame that I can't attach photo on this comment.
But have you ever seen 1 inch Star Carbon fork so far? It seems extremely hard to even find the thing.
As far as I know, Star forks are no longer even paid for in gold, but instead in human organs. I will be happy to see a photo of your bike at suchanek@onroad.cz if you send it to me. Thanks for the comment and enjoy your iconic bike.
Como sempre perfeita....
Bom dia! ficou top
Beautiful frame and groupset a fantastic job. but how I hate those handlebars 🥴
I rode them at the turn of the millennium and thought they were good then...now I know I was wrong. They correspond to the period of this C40. Thank you for watching.
현재 제 자전거 가 C40... 좋은 영상 감사합니다😅
축하합니다. C40은 훌륭한 자전거입니다! 지원 주셔서 감사합니다.
How many miles do you have?
❤❤❤
Such a nice and renovated frameset paired wit period correct groupset and ugliest handlebare i've ever seen...
Thank you for your support, Cinelli eubios are also period correct, but they can't be held in any way :-), I had them on all my bikes back then...

No problem, like you content... Watching it all over and over again.
Those deep drop handlebars are so rare sight these days.
I'ii stick to 125mm drop, 42cm width on my roadies.
But, nonetheless, awesome build for such a legendary lady from 90s.
👌👌👌💪💪💪👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️
Can you tell me which bottom bracket you installed? I need to replace the one on my C40 carbon.
It depends on crankset.
@@OnRoadVintageBikes Campagnolo Record with Ultra Torque
(I actually already have this on a different bike from 2010 and want to transfer it to my C40 Geo)

I would rather ride this than bike Specialized Trek or Cannondale sells today
Thank you for watching the video and support. Every Colnago is perfect for riding, but this year I fell in love with the steel Ritchey...
Que feo manubrio 😔
All the handlebars from the 90s were mostly poorly shaped, you couldn't hold it anywhere...
