Our take on the Colnago Carbonissimo Frameset 48cm

The Carbonissimo is Colnago's carbon road frameset, made in Italy from the company's ATR carbon and paired with the Colnago Force fork. It uses classic Italian standards: a 70mm Italian-thread bottom bracket, a braze-on front derailleur, a 27.2mm seatpost and a 1 1/8-inch threadless headset. It suits riders building a lightweight climbing or all-round rim-brake road bike who want Colnago heritage and a made-in-Italy frame. Against modern carbon frames it gives up integrated cable routing, disc brakes and aero shaping, and its Italian-thread bottom bracket narrows crank and BB choices.

Questions and answers

What bottom bracket does the Carbonissimo need?
It takes a 70mm Italian-thread bottom bracket. Check that your crank is available in an Italian-thread version before buying.
What seatpost and headset fit this frame?
It uses a 27.2mm seatpost and a 1 1/8-inch threadless headset. Both are common and easy to find.
Can I fit disc brakes?
No. The frame is built for rim brakes, so you need rim-brake calipers and wheels.
What front derailleur does it take?
It uses a braze-on front derailleur. Mechanical and electronic groupsets with braze-on mounts will fit.
Is this a complete bike?
No, it is a frameset with frame and Colnago Force fork. You supply the groupset, wheels, cockpit and finishing kit.
Is the 48cm size right for me?
A 48cm Colnago suits smaller riders, roughly in the mid-160cm range depending on fit. Compare its stack and reach with your current bike before committing.
Where is the Colnago Carbonissimo Frameset 48cm cheapest?
At R&A Cycles, for $3,000.00, 40% off, as of our latest check.
