Colnago C68 Disc Road HRBK Chassis

The C68 now powers a revised bottom bracket, with the transition from our previous TF82.5 to a more "standard" and easy-to-find T47.

The system works in the same way, with an oversized bb shell and internal bearings housed in alloy threaded caps.

You can assemble your C68 with a standard bottom bracket of Sram and Campagnolo, while you can use premium products such as ceramicspeed, Chris King and many other offers for compatibility with 24mm Shimano pins.

The fork changes from the previous TFS "D" shape with the complex internal ribbing and the threaded metal bolt glued to the full length for a 1"1/8 round tube much simpler, elegant and lighter.

To operate the brake housing inside we have adopted a special patented eccentric steering system, without having to use the larger and heavier 1.5" bearing.

OTHER FEATURES

The weight of the frame for a rough size 485 is about 925gr, only 10gr more (935gr) for the titanium version.

The number of parts that complete the chassis is the same as in the previous C series (C64).

Although from an aesthetic point of view, its lines and style can be more similar to those of a frame made in one piece.

There are still some visible joints on the C68 to trace back to our root, while other joints would seem invisible due to the new aerodynamic design.

The return to a round head tube allows us to give a touch of "ride too" in the bike.

Everyone needs, at some point, a multitool to deal with every little adjustment that may be necessary during an epic race or not (like a flat tire).

Then we integrated that tool into the top cap of the earpiece.

Rotate and pull, you're done.

The new split head tube is now stronger, lighter and more customizable than ever.

The new layout allows for stack and reach variations, along with increased rigidity for a better driving experience.
