February 9, 2012 – Ernesto Colnago celebrates his eightieth birthday and what better present could he give himself than a special limited edition bike that carries the first Colnago logo that was created in the fifties.
 
The special bike is called the C59 Ottanta – which means eighty in Italian. It’s a ‘Made in Italy’ bike that is inspired by the past and has a seventies style Arabesque decoration, yet projected into the future because of the Italian technology in its ‘made to measure’ carbon fiber frame and its electronic Campagnolo Super Record EPS 11s groupset.
 
Just 80 of these very special limited edition bike will be made and available worldwide.
