This bike is the 3rd incarnation of C40 from the early 2000’s, the Colnago C40 B-stay model with B-chainstays to improve efficiency and comfort, completely built with a Campagnolo Record 10s triple groupset. The C40 went on to win 5 editions of Paris-Roubaix in 6 years. But when I heard that there were 4 Mapei riders in the break, I knew I could relax. I had to take personal responsibility for what was going to happen and I spent all night worrying about it, barely able to sleep.

The night before Paris- Roubaix I had Mr. There was a company that wanted to fit suspension forks on the bicycle, but I wasnt going to have suspension forks on the C40. When we built the C40, we were the only ones to build carbon frames and all the mechanics and competitor technicians were saying that they would be too dangerous to use on cobbled roads, especially with the straight carbon forks. Instead he kept the tubes ramrod-straight in the traditional style albeit with the star-shaped cross-section that he had pioneered with the steel Master. Colnago could have created something with perhaps a swoopy, futuristic profile befitting its revolutionary design.
Thats the reason why the C40 is the favorite bike of all time for so many people including Sir Bradley Wiggins.
