After moving to a hillier place, I found my gravel bike descends faster due to more grip and stability than the road race bike. The gravel bike also has better gearing for repeated hill efforts. Colnago is also now owned by a group based in Abu-Dhabi, which I find off-putting, not that I'd ever buy something I find to be over-priced as I believe it is. I'd rather spend my money on a framebuilder based in my country.

As the owner of multiple CX bikes, I love how your CX bike was the better performer on the road. I use my Lemond Poprad, Trek Crockett and Carver CX bikes for road duties. Keep up the great work, Sir!

Gravel bikes with slick tires (and face it, what do the knobs do if you're not riding in soft dirt or mud?) are great road bikes unless they're those silly, slack-angled, long wheelbase drop-bar MTB's. The rest of my bikes are gathering dust! Campagnolo EKAR is great!

Is it lugged construction like the previous C series or monocoque? Any custom geometry still available on this model?

Don't skimp on head protection. They all have to pass a basic safety standard but some have more safety features, are lighter and offer better ventilation all while protecting you.

I lost faith and my belief in Colnago bikes being quality above the rest and feel they just aren't worth the money. I had a CX World Cup and a Colnago M10, one road the other CX. The CX broke the chainstay after 7 months on a really easy incline gradient and the M10 broke at the chainstay joint nearest the bottom bracket after 8 years.

As much as I love your page and videos, I can't help but feel like the group ride etiquette some of the riders display here are why drivers hate cyclists. I see other cyclists going straight from the right turn lane. I hate it when car drivers do it too, but it doesn't help cyclists' image when we do it.

If you’re going from the right turn lane straight into a shoulder you’re not bothering anyone, get over yourself.
