Colnago C64 x Fox Brothers-02Bike at Bedtime - Colnago x Fox Brothers C64 Disc
Bike at bedtime is our chance to take a look at some very interesting bikes but this could be one of the nicest that we've ever featured. So grab your warm milk, snuggle down and nod off with this lovely bike at bedtime.
This Colnago C64 Disc belongs to a chap called Greg from Windwave UK, a cycle parts distributor. When we saw it, we just had to ask for more pictures.
The limited-edition frame is a collaboration with Fox Brothers & Co, featuring gold detailing over a very faint grey flannel print. This is a nod to the preferred material of Fox Brothers & Co.
> Bike at Bedtime: Bike at bedtime: Take a look at Colnago's V3Rs
The C64 Disc is a rather traditional-looking frameset, and this is one of the last lugged carbon framesets still in production. The double triangle design not only provides balanced aesthetics, but it also creates a bike that handles beautifully.
The groupset is a Shimano Dura-Ace R9170 Di2 disc brake model. The hydraulic brakes provide excellent stopping power that is easily controlled, while the Di2 shifting is crisp and accurate.

At the back of the bike there is a CeramicSpeed OSPW system with gold pulley wheels to match the theme of the bike.
Vision provides the wheels in the form of the Metron 40's, and these carbon hoops are wrapped in a set of tubeless-ready Fusion 5 tyres.
No opportunity to add a gold detail has been missed, with andonised gold spiders on the brake rotors. Matte black Colnago bottle cages allow the flannel print to stand out.

Finishing the bike is Supacaz bar tape, naturally with gold details.
Thanks to Windwave for the pictures.

I rather like it.
That check has two unfortunate connotations. The Hitler loving Prince who made it famous, and the 70's wannabe soul boy bullys who wore it above "segged" loafers at school.(All the better for Inflicting bodily harm)
As for the John Player Special Formula 1 gold on black, as Welsh boy says, there are some things money cannot buy.
I think that shows that money doesn't buy taste.
I'm not sure which is the most offensive, the Prince of Wales paint job, the goldie-looking chain, the Japanese gears, the Chinese wheels, the French tyres.... my head is in a spin. I'm going to have to stare at my old Colnago to get this image from my head...
I'm sure it rides beautfully.
I tend to agree. Although as someone who used to run a ti & gold ano MTB (including gold chainrings!) I should probably join the owner in the naughty corner.
"Japanese gears"
You know nothing, Jon Snow.

It even has French tyres.
Evil Italian/Japanese/French combo in action:

I know it's sacrilegious but there are very few lugged bikes that I like. This one included unfortunately.
What about this one
The wheels are a bit wordy but nice kit.
How about this one then
The frame shapes look nice to me. The paint jobs are... interesting, and i'm sure there's folk that will love them.
Now that's how a Colnago should look.... and the Master above too: Colnago, Campag groupset and wheels are the cycling equivalent of the golden mean.
I remember lusting after Museeuw's C40, but when I ordered a C50 from JE James a few years later I asked Ken Downing whether I should have Record or DuraAce he replied, 'It's like this lad. If tha wants DuraAce, tha can come and put it on thi'sen.'
The "flannel print" is more accurately described as a Prince of Wales check. Flannel is just the finishing process, the pattern comes from the weave
