How frequently you ride will determine how often your bike should be serviced, but as a guide we would recommend a service twice a year, or four times a year if you are riding a lot during all seasons. Regular maintenance and safety checks will keep your bike working more efficiently, and last longer.

We discuss the sort of riding you'll be doing, your goals for the build and start to generate ideas about what the best bike for you could be. Whether it's about creating a comfortable bike for long miles, the lightest or fastest build we have a range of options suited to your demands. We analyse your current set up and then finalise the specification for your new build.

Colnago have been constructing bikes since 1954 and are responsible for some of the most iconic frames in the sport. Ridden by Eddy Merckx in the 60's and 70's, Johan Museeuw in the 90's and Tadej Pogacar in the modern day Colnago have always been at the forefront when it comes to performance.

Although Colnago's brand has built its reputation with their high end race bikes they offer a wide range of different options to suit whatever your riding demands are.The Colnago C64 is hand-built in Italy and is the flagship model of the range. The lightest, stiffest and most comfortable of the Colnago 'C' series thanks to its unidirectional carbon lay up, single piece seat tube and seat lug and a re-designed fork.
