The new 2012 range of bikes from Colbert Cycles is here! With Matt finish being the new gloss, the frames are all Matt and faster because of it............yes Matt paint is faster, didn't you know??
First up is the new road frame, features include Press Fit 30 BB / full internal cable routing for all brake and gear cables PLUS the frame is now also Di2 / Ui2 compatable! Yes, you can run traditional cables or internal wiring on the same frame, no need to change frame again! We have beafed up the rear end with oversized chain stays and massive seat stays all making it one of the most responsive rides on the market. That end of stage sprint now suits you down to the ground! All this in a frame weighing in at 985g for a size 56cm.
The new TT range is again Press Fit 30 BB / full internal cable routing and Di2 compatable. It's seen here in its Integrated Seatpost mode but is also available in standard Seatpost. The usual work has gone into the stiffness around the BB area but now with increased airflow around the BB and integrated fork we have cleaned up the wind turbulence and made your cruising speed that bit higher! A medium frame comes in at 1430g.
The new alloy track frame has been in our pipeline for a while now and it's finally here. We have kept the Seatpost in standard 27.2mm and the head tube in 1-1/8 as this frame is way stiff and positive enough already. The BB is standard English BSA.
Colbert Carbon 29er! Yes we have joined in on the craze, its the way to go in MTB. Full carbon frame with inner routing for all cables and brake hoses, BB30 bottom bracket to which we have gone with Rotor 3D+ and Q-Rings. Sram running gear with FOX Fit29er fork, FSA finish kit with Colbert 29er alloy wheels.
The last new edition to the family is the Colbert Run Around now in FOLDING spec at last! It's taken a while but it's ready to go and has gone to quite a few already. Finished in 3k weave and with carbon frame,bars,Seatpost it's pretty high end. Weighing in at 7.4kg it's not heavy and folds down into a very nice package, even fits under the office desk I'm told!
Photoshoot pics and more detail to follow soon!!
