Video: Colnago shows how it puts a C60 frame together

As would be the case with almost every other Italian brand, and indeed worldwide. Monocoque frames produced in the Far East aren't a bad thing, but colnago maintaining the employment of the frame builders who've worked for the firm for years is something that should be applauded.

True enough. Speaking of which, I think the Oltre is a better-looking bike than the C60. It's just a pity that I don't have the dedication, money, or ability to justify one.

And if they were to post a video of their monocoque frame production it wouldn't have any Italians in it!

Tube to tube, where you mitre the tubes, wrap in carbon then bake together in epoxy to make the joint? What so different to this, where the tube is mitred, sleeved in carbon then baked together in an epoxy to make the joint?

I can see an argument for monocoque moulding being "better", but when frames have been made this way for 20 years without issue the whole thing becomes moot - and Colnago's peerless EU standard frame test results show that there's nothing inferior about their method anyway.

its all well and good, nicley finished product and well presented, but still lugged frame, the weak point is where the lug meets the tube, its the same technology since day one, tube meets lug, throughout they changed the diameter of the lug and the tube but the concept remains the same. imo it does not compare to tube-to-tube bonding.

That would suggest you let your wife know the cost for one. A bold, bold move...

Lovely.
