Who are the jewel in the crown of Italian bike makers?


Pinarello

Colnago

De Rosa

 

[Chuffy]

Some company in Taiwan I suspect...

I'd practice your spelling of Colnago before you zip up to the top of Box Hill.

I'm bound to vote for Colnago. There's never been anything more beautiful than the C40 frame - although, in times gone by, Massi were supreme.

Yes, I realised the little spelling error.

Pegoretti

Seconded.

 

[BigonaBianchi]

I am going to vote for Bianchi because I have a Bianchi and as far as I am concerned Bianchi are Italian and Bianchi are best and Bianchi are what Bianchi are and I vote for Bianchi...did I say Bianchi yet?

 

[Keith Oates]

Colnago without a doubt, the others are good but the C40 and now the C50 are the tops in my book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The top Colnago bikes are made in Italy but it's a fact that some of the less expensive bikes in the Colnago range are made in Taiwan. I don't know where the other Italian companies make their bikes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bianchi are swedish.

Fact.

 

[Keith Oates]

Slightly OT but how is Bianchi pronounced, is it Bian'CHI' or Bian'KEY'!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Dave5N]

[kyuss]

Pegoretti

Seconded.

Thirded

Laurence, the nature photographer par excellence on here once upon a time, would have voted Pegoretti I'm sure, as he posted a picture of his...
I'll go with Keith and say Colnago, after all - even the Pope had one! (and it wasn't a cross either)

 

[Dayvo]

Bianchi are swedish.

Fact.

That surprised me, but here it is in black and whte:
