The Bianchi Infinito XE is the perfect for Granfondo riders serious about performance and aesthetics. The geometry of the Infinito, the ultimate endurance model whose range is topped by Infinito CV, has been optimized in the WorldTour in the one-day classics, providing maximum performance with minimum stress for long distance. It also proved to be the ideal granfondo machine.

The bike is ideal for long distances with an optimised carbon layup for a smooth and responsive ride. Although the frameset doesn't utilise the Bianchi countervail system found on higher cost Bianchi bikes it does offer a smooth and responsive bike at this level utilising technology from across the Bianchi frames.

Sizes Available in 47, 50, 53, 55, 57, 59 and 61cm and with a frame weight of just 1,100 grams and the fork 420 grams, the Infinito XE helps you savour every pedal stroke. The Infinito XE is exclusively built for disc brakes, with flat mount calipers. Thru axles both front (12x100mm) and rear (12x142mm) ensure no stress to the frame caused by braking, and with a tyre width compatibility up to 32mm the Infinito XE is capable of taking you further than ever before.

The clean lines of the bike are maintained with all hydraulic cables routed internally and the dedicated alloy seatpost has been developed for the ultimate streamlined, integrated look. Talking of streamlined, the alloy stem and spacers have been created by Bianchi for a better head tube connection, the 1 1/8” to 1.5” head tube providing stability at speed and under braking. The characteristics of the Infinito XE are maintained across the frame sizes. The different chainstay lengths means that the bike behaves the same no matter what size you choose.

Until the end of 2010 Pegoretti frames accept a standard 1 1/8 headset. The diameter of the head tube for this standard varies from a minimum of 36 to a maximum of 36.5 mm for steel frames. This entailed a limit in terms of coupling with the down tube, as larger diameters of 36.5 requiring adapted shaped or ellipsoid down tube in the area of the joint. Using a 38mm diagonal coupling was rather difficult.

At the end of 2010 Dario Pegoretti decided to increase the diameter of the head tube in order to obtain an optimal coupling in terms of milling and coupling with the head tube, what interested him was to be able to use a down tube free from crushed forms and adaptations as with the old diameter. He decided to raise this parameter up to 40.2mm, of course this has required the development of a dedicated headset.

Chris King has produced a modified diameter and insertion depth set for this headtube and called it D11. The result is a reliable, strong and perfectly round joint. During the development of the headset and the resulting head tube Daro decided to increase the diameter of the down tube which now stands at 39mm.

The new headset design continues to use the proven bearings and components of King's standard headsets, but the cups have a larger diameter skirt where they are pressed into the head tube. Also this skirt is longer than the standard giving better support to the head tube. The shape of the cups has been modified to flow better with steel and / or titanium frames.

This headset works equally well with the Falz fork and other 1-1/8” forks as the bearing sizes have not been changed. It features Chris King’s Grip-Lock fastening system as well as King’s 10-y

A lightweight Campagnolo compatible hubset designed expressly for the demands of road racing. Light The R45 hubset is 20% lighter than King's Classic hubset at 328g. They designed sleek new hubshell bodies and new 17 mm axles. That's 17 mm from dropout to dropout resisting deflection during cornering or when the power is full on. Chris King designed a driveshell with a twin bearing design that responsibly removed as much weight as they could from the inner components. Even their patented RingDrive engagement system was redeveloped resulting in a quiet, fast-engaging 45-tooth stainless steel system unique to the R45 rear hub. All of this comes with the standard Chris King 5-Year Warranty and is compatible with Campagnolo 9,10 and 11 speed drivetrains. Lock Rings The R45 for Campagnolo comes standard with an 11-tooth lock ring which is required for use with the Chris King driveshell. An optional 12-tooth lock ring is also available at your favorite shop or directly from Chris King. Fast Chris King designed and built a bearing specifically for the R45 hubset. As with every King bearing, these stainless steel sealed bearings are made in-house in Portland, Oregon and individually hand-checked for precision and smoothness. Chris King's proprietary bearing design allows them to place more rolling elements per bearing meaning greater durability and precision. R45 bearings also feature lightweight, low-friction seals for fast rolling and can be easily serviced at regular intervals using only a single 2.5 mm hex wrench and penknife. R45 Options: Ceramic Bearings - Made in-house Chris King makes their own ceramic bearings and theye build them to the same exacting standards as their classic, time-tested stainless steel ball model. Pairing the corrosion resistance of ceramic balls with Chris King's proven sealing system allows for greater flexibility with greasing options. Chris King builds their ceramic bearing R45 hubs with a very small amount of silicone-based lube for a system with very low drag. Take advantage of Chris King's user-serviceable bearings and change to a dry lube for the ultimate in race-day performance. Stainless Steel Bearings - Made in-house The R45 Campagnolo hubset also has the option of stainless steel sealed bearings. As with every King bearing, these bearings are made in-house in Portland, Oregon and individually hand-checked for precision and smoothness. Hubshell Drillings R45 front hubs are available in 20, 24, 28 & 32 hole options. R45 Campagnolo rear hubs are available in 24, 28, & 32 hole options.

The Colnago Master X-Light is, in many ways, the definitive Colnago frameset. It's a lugged, plated, painted steel bike with the distinctive fork, tube shapes, and paint that placed it apart from the pack. It first appeared thirty years ago built and painted, as always, by hand in Italy.

The frameset is exactly where it has always appeared in the Colnago lineup. The tubing, DT15V steel, is identical to the tubing they used before. When the bike was built last, it was with a tubeset that was a joint effort between Columbus and Colnago. Columbus isn't making the tubes anymore, so Colnago tracked down the guy who drew the tubes, brought him the dies, and he produced them for Colnago. So you get the same mix of star-shaped and round tubes. They are joined by the same lugs. The straight-blade Precisa fork, revolutionary when it first appeared. And so is the chrome-plating, and the luxurious, detailed paint. Even with all this going on, the frame is a relatively svelte 1400g.

The big deal with all the pieces is how they work together with the geometry for an incredible ride. The straight blade fork is precise and compliant thanks to the rake and internal tapering. The star-shaped tubes resist the torsional forces of pedaling and the round stays keep the bike comfortable. The ride is fast, stable, and comfortable. Great for riding long, great for riding hard, great for riding long and hard. If you ever wonder what the DNA of a Colnago ride is, ride this bike, and you'll know it.

And the paint scheme! The paint applied over the chrome is the acme of Colnago's fascination with fun and funky detailing. Fades, bright contrasts, intricate graphics, its all here.

The frameset sports the same 1" steerer tube, though this time with a threadless steerer. Italian-threaded bottom bracket. 27.2mm seat tube diameter. Room for 25mm tires. Two bottle braze-ons. Plated braze-on front derailleur tab. Integrated seat clamp with pin included. Vertical dropouts.

The Colnago Master X-Light frameset is the extra light bike of yore, 30 years young. Its ride is now as it was then, a joy like no other. 

The Colnago Master X is built in sizes from 49 to 65cm in 1 cm increments and in seven colors. We Currently have a 57cm frame in the white, PR99 color scheme in stock. For more information please contact the Colnago experts of Lakeside Bicycles by phone (W-F 10-7, Sat 10-6, or Sun 12-5) at 503-699-8665 or via e-mail at Info@Lakeside-Bikes.com

Along with the C68 frame, Colnago is introducing a dedicated handlebar/stem, the new CC.01.  Typically integrated handlebars/stems are built using several pieces of carbon which are then glued together.  The CC.01 is made of a single, monocoque piece of carbon resulting in improved strength and reduced weight. 

The CC.01 has a relatively long reach, a compact drop, and a decent flare, but no outsweep.  The stem angle is 84 degrees. The wider base at the drops improves bike control on descents, while simultaneously addressing the modern demand for narrower bars at the hoods for improved aerodynamics.

The width at the hoods is reduced by 1cm compared to more traditional bars.  The increasing the reach from the more traditional 75mm on compact bars, to 80mm creates a more "into the bike" position on descents and a larger flat surface behind the hoods for increased comfort.  The Colnago CC.01 is designed for modern wireless and wired electronic groupsets while maintaining compatibility with external routing and rim brakes.

Why go through the bother of developing a new handlebar?  Several reasons:

• The Colnago CC.01 handlebar is lighter than typical integrated bar/stems optimized for internal wiring (310g for the 110/410)
• The minimal painting look has been chosen for reduced weight:  the handlebar will be available in a single color version with glossy black grahpics on a matt black finish.
• The CC.01 has been aerodynamically optimized.
• The Colnago CC.01 is backwards compatible with the C64 and  VSRs models, both rim and disc, mechanical and electronic.

The Colnago CC.01 will have a dedicated computer mount with a "GoPro style" bayonet and two different lengs to support campatibility with Garmin, Wahoo, Bryton, and Hammerhead.

The handlebar kit is completed by the dedicated spacer kit, the steering cap containg a bespoke multitool, and an optional cap which will allow adjustment of the fork height prior to cutting.

Furthermore, for a perfect match and lower drag, the cockpit is also offered with a 3D-printed cyclo-computer support, compatible with the Wahoo Bolt V2 (with more compatibilities yet to come).  On top of the astonishing and clean aesthetics the new mount improves aerodynamics by (!) 0.75 W* of savings at 50 km/h, which is pretty impressive considering the small frontal area involved.

*WAD = Weighted Average Drag (i.e. the sum of power at different yaw angles, weighted by the probability of encountering those speceific conditions)

Since the debut of the C40, Colnago’s C-series frames have combined history and technology along with a soupcon of passion and guts. The C60 is no exception.

Ernesto Colnago decided: It must be stiffer, and lighter, but also must retain the company’s iconic Master star-shaped tubes. It must be built for longevity, and that ride quality must be the primary goal. It must be fast, but there is no need to eek every ounce of performance at the expense of style. “An emotional bike, with soul,” Ernesto says.  Italian soul manifested in a technological tour de force.

Like all 'C' models, the C60 was built in Colnago’s Cambiago, Italy, facility, across the street from the home of Ernesto Colnago and painted at Colnago's facility in Tuscany.   The company’s premier frames, including the steel Master x Lite and the C-series, are still “fatto in Italia." 

The C60 retained the C59's Master star shaped, lugged tubes, is 140 grams lighter and a lot stiffer.  Similarities end there.  Compared with the C59, everything is bigger, wider, and stiffer.  

Lakeside Bicycles currently has one C60 in stock, a 55cm standard geometry frame in the MHCF color.  Guaranteed to accept a 25mm tire (though, when pressed, Colnago admitted that most 28mm tires will fit as well.)  Warranty is three years if registered within 11 days of purchase or 2 years otherwise.  The frame is complete with matching fork, seatpost and headset.  If you have any questions, please contact the Colnago experts of Lakeside Bicycles by phone (W-F 10-7, Sat 10-6, or Sun 12-5) at 503-699-8665 or via e-mail at Info@Lakeside-Bikes.com.

For those unfamiliar with the C64’s lineage, the C-series is a handmade carbon bicycle dynasty.  It’s iconic for its crimped tube shapes and carbon lugs yet harks back to the stylish looks of classic steel builders. All C-bikes have always been available in custom geometry, and they’ve been at the forefront when it comes to technology, too.  

While some have complained that the C64 looks very similar to its predecessor, a major visual change is in the seat tube and seatpost. Where the C60 used a lug to join the top tube, seat tube and seatstays, the C64’s lug and seat tube are moulded as a single piece. It means the frame is a little more like a monocoque carbon frame and can use the same aerodynamically shaped seatpost as Colnago’s V2-R.

One of the biggest changes is a very simple one.  Where the C60 struggled to fit 25mm tyres, the C64 boasts clearance of at least 28mm.

In a polls of professional riders taken every year since the introduction of the C40 in 1994, when asked what bike they would most prefer to ride the overwhelming choice has been the Colnago C-frame.

For more information please contact the Colnago experts of Lakeside Bicycles by phone (W-F 10-7, Sat 10-6 or Sun 12-5) at 503-699-8665 or via e-mail at Info@Lakeside-Bikes.com.  One final note: The BDBL 54s frame listed here is a 2019 model and is the only frame we have available.

Colnago has a number of top-tier carbon fibre race bikes in its line-up. There’s the Italian-made lugged-construction C64, the latest in the iconic C-series. There’s the Concept, the company’s answer to an aero racer. And there’s the V series, an all-round racer that uses a monocoque construction method (like almost every other carbon race bike at the pro level, excluding the C64).

It’s the last of these that Colnago has just updated to the company’s highest stiffness-to-weight ratio bike. The V3Rs and V3Rs Disc replace the V2r, a bike that has commonly been the pick for UAE Team Emirates and the now-defunct Wiggle-High5 women’s race team. And like a scene out of The Walking Dead, the V3r joins a long line of similar-looking, do-it-all, lightweight, stiff, compliant and semi-aero race bikes each of which is hungry for your attention.

What’s new?  Just as we’ve seen with Wilier, Scott and Cannondale, the V3Rs offers stealthy cable integration, dropped seatstays, increased tyre clearance and an overhauled geometry. And while the hefty cable integration is kept for the disc-brake version, there is a direct-mount rim brake version, as well.

The Colnago V3rs Somewhat simpler, the rim brake version offers direct-mount brakes and brake cable routing that’s not guided through the stem or headtube. Compared to the V2-r, the new frame is stiffer by 12% at the rear and 6% at the front, all while dropping some 50g of frame weight. A raw, unpainted, 52cm disc-version of the V3Rs weighed in at 790g, with an uncut fork at 390g.

However, at a guess, the cable integration found in the disc-version will add back any weight saved. And while Colnago hasn’t said by how much, the new frame is apparently more compliant, too. Part of that may be the overhauled carbon layup, or dropped seatstays allowing more seat tube flex. Another reason may be the new headset that offers surrounding composite material designed to aid in compliance — a feature borrowed from Colnago’s Concept and C64 bikes.

Colnago V3rs The geometry has been overhauled, but it remains race-orientated. Much like the new Scott Addict, the V3r is optimised for 28c tyres (it can apparently squeeze in 30c, although Colnago’s own literature says otherwise), and the geometry and fork have been revamped to retain a race bike fit and feel. For this, the bottom bracket has been lowered and the fork length increased, matched with a shorter head tube. With a sloping geometry, the stack and reach figures are now more linear across the eight frame sizes, as well.

While Colnago has made no specific claims about the aerodynamic performance of the V3Rs, it’s clear that with an integrated cockpit, dropped seatstays and seemingly truncated tube shapes, it’ll be faster than its predecessor. That fully integrated cabling is exclusive to the disc-version, and uses Colnago’s own stem and a special threaded fork steerer tube to route both the hydraulic hoses and electronic shift wires through the stem and directly into the head tube.  Colnago has reworked the integrated seat post binder, too, said to be smaller and more secure than what’s found in the V2r and C64. It holds Colnago’s own version of a D-shaped seatpost.

The Colnago V3Rs is available in 8 sloping sizes and 9 colors.  For more information we can be reached at 503-699-8665 or info@Lakeside-Bikes.com

Colnago is pleased to present its first bicycle designed to go on any surface, from smooth asphalt to light offroad.

Ride longer, ride further - even when the tarmac ends Compared to the C68 Road, the C68 Allroad has a shorter reach and a higher stack. The rider’s upper body stays in a more upright position and their arms are less stretched out. This takes some weight off the hands and puts more on the saddle resulting in a more comfortable ride, especially on rough surfaces or during long rides.

The C68 Allroad has greater tire clearance than the Road model, up to 35mm. Furthermore, to improve the performance on bumpy surfaces, the shape of the down tube is slightly different from the road version, and the chainstays and the seatstays are reinforced. The result is the same superior ride feeling as the C68 Road, but enhanced for bigger adventures: you can ride on many different surfaces, i.e. dirt roads and uneven paths.

Proudly Made in Italy Colnago bikes are not meant to be ordinary. Following the tradition of the Colnago C Series, the C68 Allroad is true to it's underlaying DNA, composed of several modular parts assembled together by the hands. Some of the joints are left visible, while others have been masked with a complex process of bandaging. The result is a visually seamless frame, with slightly proud head tube and seat cluster. The C68 Allroad, like every C Series Colnago, is dedicated to all those who are able to appreciate the fine art of crafting bicycles.

Designed to work with the Colnago CC.10 Inegreated Handlebar, The Colnago C68 Allroad is available in two colors (HABG and HADK) and six sloping sizes for electronic gruppos and disc wheels only.  For more information, please click this link or call or write the Colnago aficionados of Lakeside Bicycles by phone (503-699-8665 10-7 W-F, 10-6 Sat, or 12-5 Sun) or by email at Info@Lakeside-Bikes.com

Introducing the C68

Of the entire Colnago range the model which revolutionizes the concept of 'handmade in Italy', while its DNA and the concept of multiple parts is maintained.  In the future the C68 will be available in three versions:  Road, Allroad, and Gravel all of which will share the same, totally new soul based on performance while also maximizing rider enjoyment.  Clean design, integration and modernity are at the core of the project.

The C68 Road will also be availble in a limited edition version employing 3D printed titanium parts intended for an even more exclusive and technologically-oriented audience.  We are even hoping someday ("Someday" in Italian translates losely as "Maybe two years, maybe never") to realize the option of a "made-to-measure" frame:  the widest range of choices and customization options in the Colnago world.

Maximalist off-road tourists, explorers looking to get off the beaten path, and survivalists for whom being stranded isn’t an option will all appreciate Pugsley’s wide footprint, long and stable wheelbase, and plethora of accessory mounts. Since way back in twenty-aught-three, Pugsley has seen it all: intercontinental bikepacking trips, bushwhacking at its finest, mirages in the desert, and countless souls taking on the Arrowhead 135 ultra-endurance race. It’s seen some, shall we say, sticky situations, but it always finds its way out. Its proven track record gives it the calling card as the quintessential fat tire expedition bike. This is a little used and extremely well equipped example in a hard to find size. Sold as-is and without warranty, for more information we can be reached at 503-699-8665 or info@lakeside-bikes.com

This rather large bicycle was owned and lovingly maintained by local racing legend Robert Burney, This thoroughbred represents the pinnacle of titanium bicycle construction. Built of cold-worked 6Al/4V titanium (a stronger alloy than the more common 3Al/2.5V and further strengthened by the cold working [shaping of the tubes, which is easiest to see in the curved seatstays]), the frame allows a total bike weight below 17 pounds. Climb on and go, and most surprising is that this featherweight frame also provides jaw-dropping performance. Sprint, climb, hammer, spin and you’ll swear the bike is alive, reacting to every pedal stroke, helping you. It’s the combination of a frame material that has a springy, “alive” quality and Litespeed’s craftsmanship. Working with titanium since the 1940s, they figured out ways to optimize the handling and ride of their bikes by manipulating the tube shapes to provide only the best characteristics. You feel the effect of these shaped tubes right away. The Vortex sings as you spin down the road, iIt’s like having your own tailwind along for every ride. It’s hard to put a price on such a magical ride. The crazy thing is, it’s race-ready, but at the same time, the ride is velvety-smooth. You can get almost Vortex-like performance and approach its weight in other frames such as oversize-aluminum models, but you can pay a price for it in a rigid, unforgiving ride. On the Vortex, you glide over rough roads and finish long days much more relaxed. While these traits set the Vortex apart from other dream rigs, all frames made of titanium offer another wonderful perk: the magic metal won’t rust or corrode and is impressively dent-resistant. You can ride for hours in the rain on bad roads, and while you might trash your components, with just a little soap and suds, the frame will be perfect again. And say you don’t get around to cleaning the bike right away (about the worst thing you can do after a rainy ride)? The Vortex is completely unfazed by the elements. So, while the Vortex was one of the more expensive road bikes available. Considering that it rides like the wind it’s named after and should outlast a dozen lesser road rockets, it could prove to be the best and last money you ever spend on a dream machine. I’ve ridden dozens of top-line road bikes and liked many of them a lot. But, the Vortex is a keeper, one of the most enjoyable racers I own and still the one I ride the most. This consignment bike comes as-is and without warranty. If you would like further information we can be reached at info@lakeside-bikes.com or 503-699-8665

Smaller & thicker tubes, leads to a stronger, more durable frame. The Luna was conceived as a model to compete with the bigger brands. The amazing Luna, built by Calfee at our headquarters in California, retails for less than frames made offshore in China and Taiwan. Still, it shares the workmanship, hand crafting and ride quality of our more expensive frames; 85% of the performance for 50% of the cost.

Following it’s release in 1994, the C40 was ridden to victory in some of cycling’s biggest races. Most notably 5 wins in Paris Roubaix – over the roughest road surfaces found in professional racing. The C40 name originates from ‘C’ for Carbon and ’40’ in recognition of Colnago’s 40th anniversary. It was in production for approximately 10 years (1994 – 2004). In an interview with Ernesto Colnago, the C40 was listed as one of his favorite bikes. Indeed, year after year when members of the pro-peloton were asked what bike they would most like to ride, the overwhelming choice has been the C40 and it's successor Carbon lug frames including the C50, C59, C60 and the current C64. We could go on and on. What distinguishes this frame is the Geo paint scheme, hand painted by desperate Tuscan artisans, and out of production since they last went on strike for relief from lives of seemingly impossible detail. This frame comes with a complete, pre-ultra torque Chorus grupo, Real Design wheels, ultra-cool Cinelli RAM integrated handle bar/stem and a slightly damaged Fizik Aliante saddle. There is minor damage to the finish. Sold as-is and without warranty, for more information we can be reached at 503-699-8665 or info@lakeside-bikes.com
