Colnago Cycling products

History of the Colnago Brand

Established in 1952 by Ernesto Colnago, the bicycle brand that bears his name has etched its way into the rich history of European cycling. With a focus on manufacturing high-quality performance road bikes for professional riders, the Italian brand's prestige grew rapidly within the pro-peloton. This was undoubtedly aided by numerous victories from the likes of Eddy Merckx and Michele Dancelli who both rode Colnago bicycles.

Still based out of the original headquarters in Cambiago, Italy, Colnago has come a long way since its days of manufacturing quality steel frames. Adopting a number of major innovations since its inception, the range now extends to aluminium, titanium and carbon fibre frames for a range of different cycling disciplines.

Ernesto Colnago himself is one of the most recognisable figures in the cycling world, with a reputation for his expertise in frame construction, as well as for a number of innovative design practices he introduced to the industry over the years. Colnago is proud to be one of the only manufacturers that remain in Italy producing full carbon frames, with the Ernesto Colnago frame signature embedded on each frame to further showcase the brand’s heritage.
