Colnago C68 Limited Edition Motoki Yoshio

Beyond the quality of their bikes, Colnago bikes remain in our minds for their designs, in many cases groundbreaking and ahead of their time, which have made unforgettable some decorations such as the one used at the time by the Mapei team.

From the rettinato texture to the art decor designs or the frozen colors, Colnago has always known how to attract attention to its bikes.

Their latest creation is this limited edition whose decoration has been left in the hands of the Japanese designer, but based in Milan for more than 25 years, when he was part of the Pininfarina team, Motoki Yoshio.

Under the premises of respect for the history of Colnago's C models and design harmony, Yoshio has created a design that harmonizes with the lines of the frame and the characteristic C68 model's connecting fittings. After drawing the basic lines of the design, Motoki Yoshio chose strong colors that were able to highlight each component of the frame, resulting in the spectacular bike you can see in the pictures.

Harmony, says Motoki Yoshio, "means pleasure, balance, which I want to feel while riding this bike. When cycling is in full harmony with the environment, those who pedal live a unique experience. In the same sense, a design becomes unique when it is in perfect harmony with the product".
