Eurobike: Italian jewels Colnago and Pinarello

The Flight comes with two aero-section seatposts for either time trials or triathlons.

  • The Colnago EPS is the Italian company's new top frame for 2009.
  • The EPS is available in the usual selection of Colnago colour schemes including red…
  • … and a very stylish metallic blue and white.
  • The EPS has a bigger and stiffer bottom bracket area than the Extreme Power but is still a tube-and-lug frame.
  • Colnago introduces semi-integrated headsets for the first time this. Moreover, the EPS also uses a tapered steerer tube.
  • As usual, Colnago has made a limited edition Ferrari version of its top level frame. This bike is one of only 99 available complete with Fulcrum Racing Speed wheels.
  • The CX-1 is a new semi-monocoque carbon frame that has been ridden by Rabobank's Grischa Niermann and is now available to the rest of us.
  • The Colnago Flight is the company's fastest looking time trial frame to date.
  • The Flight comes with two aero-section seatposts for either time trials or triathlons.
  • The Flight's seat tube wraps closely around the rear wheel.
  • The Pinarello Prince is unchanged for 2009, apart from a new range of colour schemes…
  • … including a stealthy all-black that is supposed to look spectacular in the sunshine.
  • There's good news for Valverde fans: the Bala Verde's personal paint scheme is now available to everyone.
  • The new Pinarello FP6 replaces the Paris and F1:13 in the range.
  • The new Pinarello FP3 is based heavily on the styling of the Prince…
  • … but uses a lower grade of carbon fibre to decrease costs.
  • The FP3 is aimed at enthusiasts and Gran Fondo riders.
  • The new Pinarello FT3 triathlon frame is identical to the existing FT1, but uses the same carbon fibre as the Prince.
  • The MOst XLR XP saddle has been developed with Selle Italia and is now available to match your frame.
  • Even the Tail seat post gets the same colour coordination treatment as the bars and stems.
  • Pinarello is now working with Lightweight and now has Most-branded Lightweight wheels.
