2004 Colnago C40 HP Rabobank FINAL Price Drop!

This bike is still hanging on the wall! I know there is someone who would love to own and ride this very special bike. This is an ultra rare amazing 2004 Colnago C-40, 58cm* (with a 56.3cm top tube, colnago sizing fits more like 56/57cm frame)  B-Stay, HP (high power) model, RB23, Rabobank Edition (limited) MSRP $5500 frame, premium star fork, post, and stem, paint $500 extra. ISO 9000 certified for high manufacturing tolerance, the only bike company complying with these exacting standards (at that time). This Team Rabobank Colnago C40 HP, the last generation of the C40’s, has some usual small nicks from a bike that was lightly used, never raced or crashed, and very well cared for during its 10 years. Build Quality: special tapered tubes (mitered as in the famous Master steel frame) and monocoque lugs, C40's were designed and hand built in the Colnago factory, using carbon fiber supplied by ATR (suppler for Ducati, Ferrari Formula 1 Team, etc.). Ride Quality: exemplary, unique, fun and efficient pro level geometry and a clear stand out among other high end frames I’ve ridden that include Moser EOM16.5 steel, Lightspeed Ti, Klein, Eddy Merckx and others.
