2008 Colnago Extreme Power
Hello,
First post here and I was looking at a 2008 colnago extreme power, however the frame is aluminum. I know they made a few aluminum versions of their frames but I can't find any info on this specific model. Is it a real thing? Thanks! |
The extreme power was a variant of the C50 (and maybe even the c59) carbon frames- the aluminum model was the Dream
OTOH, I assume it's a version with a carbon back end and thus could have had the EP chainstay s Sounds cool- post a pic if you can |

I saw that listing and my sense is that it is a "Fauxnago" . I'm not aware of Colnago ever making aluminum versions of their carbon frames and applying the same name. The Extreme Power is a lugged carbon frame, so it wouldn't even make sense to make a welded aluminum version.
Shop around and you'll find a Dream or Dream B-Stay for the same price as the opening bid on that one. Here's a copy of the 2008 catalog I found with a quick search. http://beverlyconnellydesign.com/Bev...talogLoRes.pdf |
