Don't know if I agree... don't get me wrong, I love Colnago's (my road bike is an Extreme Power), but this one... you could replace the Colnago logo with pretty much any other brand and it wouldn't look out of place.... Normally, Colnago makes bikes that has the classic lines and just LOOK like a Colnago, but this one.... somehow visually it fails...

Gonna have to agree. For some reason, the very moment I saw this bike, I said "hmm, that's alright". Not exactly the right reaction to something like a Colnago.

Agreed, I believe that it was designed and made by giant...

Colnago still has an Italian line along with their "economic" Taiwanese line.  Giant makes some of the best bikes in the world and has some of the most advanced carbon molds and techniques out of ALL manufacturers, so farming out their lower end carbon work makes economic sense for Colnago.

I still love the classic lines of the Krono TT, but this bike is almost definitely faster and better designed for aero.

I disagree. I think it looks sweet.  I love colnago frames and this one doesn't disappoint.

Good looking bike. That rear disc is evil.

Very possible that this is made by Giant... to my knowledge it's really only Giant and Time that has full capabilities to make carbon bikes (i.e. from the raw spool of carbon fiber thread to a finished bike....). And I don't have a problem with that it's not made by ART in Italy... (just for the record).

What I do have a problem with is that this one looks like it could be pretty much any other brand. The CLX (which is made in Taiwan) still looks like a Colnago. The Colnago Flight looks like it was designed and manufactured by someone else and just slapped a Colnago sticker on it.

No doubt this is both a good riding bike and an aerodynamic bike, I just think it lacks the look... but that is my opinion and I there's no-one forcing me to buy it...
