Eurobike Day 1 Colnago caption compo.JPGWe have a winner! Eurobike the day before they open the doors Colnago caption competition…
Colnago have the knack of peeking people's interest and we got a big entry for our caption compo and lots of good ones too but after much deliberation the winner is… seamdreamteam for "Colnago design limited edition iPod covers" alththough handlebarcam's more caustic contribution ran him close. Seamdreamteam drop us a line to info [at] road.cc and we'll pop you a prize in the post when we get back from Germany.
You see a lot of things at Eurobike, the dozen or so exhibition halls are heaving with bike stuff to be shown off to the world of bicycle fanciers. Or, if you are like Colnago, you will make people wait to see what they have got to show you by popping a cover over everything. Either that or they have a problem with pigeons in their corner of the hall?
Write something funny about what you think is their reason and we will send you some goodies from the show (probably not a Colnago though)

Tony's journey in cycling media started in 1997 as production editor and then deputy editor of Total Bike, acting editor of Total Mountain Bike and then seven years as editor of Cycling Plus. He launched his first cycling website - the Cycling Plus Forum at the turn of the century. In 2006 he left C+ to head up the launch team for Bike Radar which he edited until 2008, when he co-launched the multi-award winning road.cc - finally handing on the reins in 2021 to Jack Sexty.

TBF I think that's before she saw the light and got on her bike. Not so great if her views have been informed by Mr. Briggs though.

OK, so who put the fancy new Italian Ironing Board covers on incorrectly???
Colnago reveal next years Fantasy Cycling prizes....bike covers.
Unveiling Colnago's new procycling team...The Seven Dwarves!
"The pit is completely enclosed and it's full of leathery objects, like eggs or something! There's a layer of mist just covering the eggs that reacts when broken"
"Wait a minute, there's movement. It seems to have life, organic life."
Colnago - pushing the envelope.
Thomas couldn't help thinking that the Colnago designers had somewhat missed 'le point' when he was suggesting he needed something more stealth like to beat Cadel and those pesky Schlecks next July.......
The trend for hiding cabling is taken to the limit. Colnago are now even hiding the bikes.
Colnago should've gone to Specsavers
With a rather fetching black ensemble, the winner of this years Eurobike’s best dressed bike award goes to........COLNAGO
shhhhh! they're sleeping!
Europcar decided to keep Thomas Voeckler's 2012 Tour De France win in the bag. So did Colnago.
Hmm, looks like they've already got the bikes sorted - this year they must be showing off their bike stands. Those covers are clearly to simulate massive crosswinds (just add a desk fan), and look, none of their bikes have fallen over
I knew my "caustic contribution" was too long (and probably too caustic) to win. How about this pithier version:
Colnago: Making conspicuous consumption just a little less conspicuous.
You get a prize for that one handlebarcam that's the best one yet info [at] road.cc and we'll find you something electric as a prize, well we'll try.
But no more everybody this competition is now closed… there will be another one along soon.
psst. Are we there yet?
The new Colnago fancing panels, to deter rioters in central London...Not cheap, but who can put a price on safety.
Due to the recession. Colnago couldn't afford super sexy models to drape over their new range of sleek machines. All they could afford was a bunch of old bags.
Introducing . . . Colnago propane grills!
The joint venture with the Milan fashion house, still had some issue's regarding the models for the catwalk show.
'bikes what bikes? no they're erm new novelty ironing board covers!' a Colnago rep was heard explaining.
They forgot to pack the bikes?
Could we beeeee anymore colnago !!!!!
ah hidden away is the new colnago "austerity" we can only dream.
for some people, having Colnago stamped on your bags is highly appealing.
for some people, having Colnago stamped on your bags is highly appealing.
surely they have hit on the additional profit of "add on sales" and they are just exhibiting a new range of bike covers?
tut
excitable bike journos...
Clearly a there is a real threat from groups of bored pigeons, who have no stake in society, probably using Facebook to co-ordinate their attacks. I blame the parents.
Concern mounts when the press kit includes a doppio sacchetto
Obviously an electric-powered midget bike for rest-day shenanigans. Either that or Ricco's trying to sign himself up under his 2 year old son's name and is using props to try and make it more convincing....
