The Colnago C72 La Scala Limited Edition Bike is a numbered run of 72, made to mark the C72's launch at the Teatro alla Scala in Milan. It is the same hand-built Italian carbon road bike as the standard C72, dressed in a livery taken from the opera house: matte red, gold and marbled white, with an embossed trefoil emblem finished in gold leaf. Colnago says it used finishing techniques here for the first time. It is a collector's piece, and it is also a complete bike you can ride.

The C72 underneath
The frame is modular carbon, built from seven parts that are hand-assembled in Italy through joints and interlocks. Colnago has built frames this way since the early 1990s, and it was the first brand to put carbon frames in front of professional teams, famously winning Paris-Roubaix on the C40. The C72 carries that tradition forward, with joints that Colnago describes as matched like panel gaps for a cleaner overall look. A size-485 unpainted frame weighs 895g, which Colnago says is 30g less than the C68.
The C72 is also more comfortable than the C series bikes before it. Colnago redesigned the rear triangle and seat area to improve compliance, and tire clearance now goes up to 35mm. Colnago also updated the geometry with a higher stack-to-reach ratio. It is still a race-bred bike, and it can now be set up more comfortably for long rides. In the 51cm, stack is 562mm and reach is 387mm, with a 72.9-degree head tube angle.
Super Record Wireless and Bora wheels
The La Scala is built with Campagnolo's top groupset. Super Record Wireless is 13-speed, with the derailleurs, shifters, crankset, cassette and chain all from the same family. Gearing is a 52/36 crankset with an 11-36 cassette, a wide spread that suits mixed terrain as well as flat group rides. Hydraulic disc brakes run 160mm rotors in front and 140mm at the rear.
The wheels are Campagnolo Bora…
