Bike at Bedtime - Colnago x Fox Brothers C64 Disc
Bike at bedtime is our chance to take a look at some very interesting bikes but this could be one of the nicest that we've ever featured. So grab your warm milk, snuggle down and nod off with this lovely bike at bedtime.
This Colnago C64 Disc belongs to a chap called Greg from Windwave UK, a cycle parts distributor. When we saw it, we just had to ask for more pictures.
The limited-edition frame is a collaboration with Fox Brothers & Co, featuring gold detailing over a very faint grey flannel print. This is a nod to the preferred material of Fox Brothers & Co.

The C64 Disc is a rather traditional-looking frameset, and this is one of the last lugged carbon framesets still in production. The double triangle design not only provides balanced aesthetics, but it also creates a bike that handles beautifully.
The groupset is a Shimano Dura-Ace R9170 Di2 disc brake model. The hydraulic brakes provide excellent stopping power that is easily controlled, while the Di2 shifting is crisp and accurate.

At the back of the bike there is a CeramicSpeed OSPW system with gold pulley wheels to match the theme of the bike.
Vision provides the wheels in the form of the Metron 40's, and these carbon hoops are wrapped in a set of tubeless-ready Fusion 5 tyres.
No opportunity to add a gold detail has been missed, with andonised gold spiders on the brake rotors. Matte black Colnago bottle cages allow the flannel print to stand out.

Finishing the bike is Supacaz bar tape, naturally with gold details.
Thanks to Windwave for the pictures.
Son of a Marathon runner, Nephew of a National 24hr Champion, the racing genetics have completely passed him by. After joining the road.cc staff in 2016 as a reviewer, Liam quickly started writing feature articles and news pieces. After a little time living in Canada, where he spent most of his time eating poutine, Liam returned with the launch of DealClincher, taking over the Editor role at the start of 2018. At the weekend, Liam can be found racing on the road both in the UK and abroad, though he prefers the muddy fields of cyclocross. To date, his biggest race win is to the front of the cafe queue.

Because it was a last minute change, I didn't have time to fester over it. Given more time I would probably have talked myself out of it!
Got it! <slaps forehead> Ever had one of those days where you Need More Coffee...?
This is why i do a little jump rope on days im not on the bike. I do 20-30mins of jump rope in the garden. some people go for longer.
Where do you suppose the "real thing" comes from? Not Smethwick.
You're welcome. I find the history of cycling fascinating as so many feats seem to have got lost in the mists of time (or due to the British in...

They ban lots of vehicles normally allowed on normal roads, it is not just cyclists.
May be I'm missing something, but you need an XDR free hub to run SRAM 12 speed not a Fulcrum/Campagnolo one. I have a set from Reynolds and a set...
