@@Stevenafoe David is always going on about how fantastic disc brakes are but the bike he was talking about and riding that won the tour de France was a rim brake version! I hope this helps 👍
I assume it is a mere coincidence that this is the disc brake version instead of the rim brake model actually ridden by Pogačar 🤷 this discwashing malarkey must end.
I was just calculating the cost how much it would cost to build. As I thought, the price is considerably cheaper. Yes it's nice, but with those tdf logo's etc it looks a bit naff to be honest. Colnago love their little limited editions, just a 'cash cow' for the company. The only unique component here is the single yellow brake lever. The rest is standard kit. At that price I would expect all parts to be uniquely painted etc.
New Colnago font is pretty garbage. Regardless, Ernesto has always been a great marketer and snake oil salesman to build crazy buzz and hype around his bikes. And while the C64 is a great bike, they’re a lot more sizzle than they are steak - and certainly insanely pricey. But if you have a buyer, the train rolls on. The V3RS is a nicer looking bike than the lugged carbon (why) C64 and the paint scheme is solid on this “limited edition” but again, obscene money at play here.
I like your channel but I have yet to hear what you don’t like - it dilutes your opinion a little as you like everything! But I don’t dislike the channel thanks
Not really true. I have heard David being ambivalent about a bike or piece of equipment. He will normally weigh the pros and cons and leave it to the audience to decide whether, for example, something is worth the money.
lol.... apart from Aurthur being very excited... i didnt get anything what is so special about this bike... just mumbling "lots of lots of speed", top, first class... whatever
WTF have they done to their font - I mean, is the classic traditional Colnago font considered too old fashioned or something? Or maybe they've just done it in bold type and squashed it up, I don't know, but it looks wrong. I know they dropped the serifs and italicised it in recent years but it still looks classy on every other Colnago - that's just naff. I know looks aren't everything - you can't see a bike when you're riding it - and I'm sure it's an awesome bike but it ain't got no class (unlike just about every Colnago ever built) - if you didn't know better you'd think it was a Chinese replica, and not a very convincing one at that, in fact Chinese replicas look more convincing. Yeuch. :(
@@andycorso8498 I know but I just think it's a change for the worse - hope it's just a one off - they haven't changed the current font on their website or any of their other current bikes and I hope they don't. Fonts don't count for nothing in the great scheme of things, of course, but part of what makes a Colnago classy is its classy looks and that bike just isn't classy, at least not to my eyes.
Hi im looking for new bike replacement. What do u think is better between Specialized Tarmac Sl7 or Colnago Disc v3? Thanks before. Ur opinion really matters for me bcs i love seeing ur reviews
A bee landed on the handlebars... and doubled their weight. Nothing can beat those cables inside the one piece stem & handlebars, for shear coolness and beauty (not even rim brakes).
Free hub is one of the cheapest parts of a rear wheel. Easily replaceable. As I understand the Bora WTO have a ‘silent’ free hub. I have the previous WTO and replaced the silent hub, which broke, with a Bora One free hub, which is much louder
What are some good very narrow cycling shoes? I tried some Fiziks with the weird strap which are supposed to be narrow, but I couldn't get the shoe tight enough without seriously stretching the material. Sorry for the unrelated comment, but am a bit desperate.
Maybe not what you want to hear. But forget about clipless pedals and shoes. A good high end flat pedal like hope f20 and fiveten freerider shoes made for flat pedals are the best combo. As long as you are not competing that is. Feels almost like clipped in the grip is so good, I've tried clipless pedals didn't like them, nice to be able to put feet on the ground fast when you want or need to.
Bikes are weighed without pedals because there are so many different pedal systems and weight varies loads so simply add the weight of your preferred pedal system to the bike and voila
Its the tour de france logo. Of course you pay for branding. Thats why bike companies fool alot of doctors, lawyers and dentists to the point cycling will only cater to people who has disposable income. You can have chinese frame bike with tour de france logo and it will feel just the same as this bike. Its called the placebo effect.
Colnago was always about marketing, Ernesto is a clever guy. If you want an Italian bike which is not as overpriced as Colnago, watch out for Willier or De Rosa or find a small frame maker and have your individual paint job done. I'm from Germany and i must admit, a Ferrari is always more beautiful than a Porsche, but much more expensive and not faster.
@@Stevenafoe 2020. wouod have won 2021 as well, Rim wa susee for climbs but the issue is WHEELS, rims. the rim tubular supply is now near zero and even the bora wto is only disk tubular not rim tubular. hence riders go for disk due to RIMS not disk advantage... i pass countless disk riders ar effort, that 2 lbs lighter helps
It's not exactly heavy though for real-world cycling but true Pogačar will probably still revert to rim brakes in the mountains for the small weight saving
@@davidarthur 7.1 kg vs the 6.8 kg that the GC guys will have on the hills for me it doesnt make any difference but for them sure it does. It's all about those "marginal gains" :D
So my Giant TCR 1 from 2004 weighs 400grams heavier than a 12,000 pound bike. It cost me $600. Could easily go under 7KGs with lighter wheels. mmm progress?
Oh my god that bike is beautiful!!! I need it in my life
This bike is top of my Lotto list! Love the special edition as well so really need those numbers to come up ASAP!!
After this review if I were you, I was negotiating a way to keep it 😘🎊🥳🎉
Nice. Not a fan of the TdF branding personally but a very nice bike. Plenty of modern features and those Campag discs are 👌
That was the best bit David when you said "though the bike that won the 2020
tour de france had rim brakes" 😂
Alright fella
@@S.Prestage 👍
What are rim brakes?
Not sure why that is funny, look at the tdf 2021.. no rimbrakes…

It could be a beautiful bike but the paintjob is as generic and lame as it gets for a super exclusive limited edition.
I really do envy you Dave amazing looking bike.

The fonts have changed many times over the years…….

Agree with you completely! Font looks like a Chinese knock off.
Wow....what an experience...great bike and great review. Truly special day.
the "where" is as good as the "what" you rode - recently visited Wiltshire (Corsham area) - loved it!
This Colnago is not the Italian-made C64 though!
I have a C60 with Campagnolo SR EPS/Bora Ultra tubular wheels, etc.
Colnago my favorite brand of bicycle since 1982. Own a V1R for special occasions. Most famous in the world.
Salute David beautiful Bike 🙏👍🔥🇵🇷💯
Nice bike, but the color scheme is under the surface as we say in Germany.
The Rim brake version looks even better
Great Tour de Colnago V3Rs David!
Beautiful Bike, Love the yellow brake levers!
That's not the bike that won last years Tour de France. The tour was actually won on the far superior rim braked model.
Funny but profs don’t brake much
Painted brake lever reminds me of Walmart bikes.
The geometry of the frames today are very similiar,not to say almost the same.
Colnago is using realy huge trail numbers on the forks. So that's something that's definetly off todays standard
Colnago will make £1,296,000 before they are built. That’s smart move
Brake lever looks like you've replaced one but haven't been able to buy a matching one.
I thought that too they should be matching
How do you not have 100k+ subs? Absolutely excellent video quality & content, thank you!
Getting there slowly! 👍😎
Great video, thanks David!
Waiting someone to put 105/potenza in it 😂
Hi im looking for new bike replacement. What do u think is better between Specialized Tarmac Sl7 or Colnago Disc v3? Thanks before. Ur opinion really matters for me bcs i love seeing ur reviews
Word of advice; always wear eye protection on any bike ride, especially in summertime with extra airborne bugs and extra UV.
As a contact lens wearer I always do but not for filming when I’m talking to the camera 😎
@@davidarthur
You might look cooler with a sunglasses. Give it a try.
A bee landed on the handlebars... and doubled their weight.
Nothing can beat those cables inside the one piece stem & handlebars, for shear coolness and beauty (not even rim brakes).
HI David, Is the frameset electronic groupset only?
Bike looks amazing but I would have made both shifters yellow. Why only 1?
Upon buying you have to provide your dentist diploma, or else you're rejected.
perhaps a give away bike for 50k subs?!:)
That’s a great idea!
Not into the marketing hype … more interested in performance characteristics
Looks like the bike that won the 2021 t.d.f. , disk braes 🤣
Lovely bike, thoroughbred.
One yellow and one black brake lever is a bit odd, why not 2 yellow?
0:55 what's the white thing on the head tube below the Colnago logo: a device to measure the wind direction?
Love it, but that price tag.. omg. I’’l stick to my old colnago.
2:47 why is there a gaddamn insect sitting on the handle bar?
rim brake model is 6.7 kg
Please make a review on COLNAGO CLX!
For such an expensive limited edition bike.... It looks rather dull imo
Agree
Another nice video David - pity you only got the one ride on that.
Were they not schwalbe pro 1 tyres David? 👌🏻
It would be great to see some more everyday road bikes on a consumer level.
Not going to lie though the colnago is stunning 👌👌
so now that one you just rode will be sold at a reduced price !!!
Should of let us hear the freehub sound
Fair point, but you can watch my review of the Bora wheels to get the free hub sound th-cam.com/video/5WDxzUrcKug/w-d-xo.html
Free hub is one of the cheapest parts of a rear wheel. Easily replaceable. As I understand the Bora WTO have a ‘silent’ free hub. I have the previous WTO and replaced the silent hub, which broke, with a Bora One free hub, which is much louder
Caveat Emptor....three Year warranty!!
Did I hear "It just squirts up the road" ?
Don't flippin' scratch it!
Or... scratch the living shit out of it to see if they'll let you keep it.
What are some good very narrow cycling shoes? I tried some Fiziks with the weird strap which are supposed to be narrow, but I couldn't get the shoe tight enough without seriously stretching the material.

@@rah4981 I already ride MTB clipless pedals. I hate riding without. The problem is that my shoes are way to wide and my new bike has road pedals
Spot the difference!
Disc brakes - ugggghhhhhhh!
rim brake available on that/

I love this bike! Cant help but watch this video again & again
Glad you enjoy it!
Please stop weighting bikes without pedals. Who the heck rides without pedals.

@@davidarthur ok then
12G???? Oh come on....
Is it supposed to have only one yellow brake lever? The LH lever is black.
Maybe they didn’t have enough yellow paint?
@@davidarthur Probably a weight-saving measure.
Top Bike … è bellissima!
is v3rs a superior bike than c 64?? dont see c64 used in tour de france...
The V3RS is more aero and lighter so a more obvious choice for the pros to race
Pro cycling isn't just about the Tour de France. Pro Conti teams Gazprom Rusvelo and Team Novo Nordisk both use the C64.
Where is the link to win this beauty??
Haha I wish it was a giveaway. I’d enter myself!
What's so special about this bike, except the paint job?

I prefer c64
Yes, rim brakes come on Colnago don't let the side down rim brakes forever
Are they going to ride this whole TdF on disc? Crazy
Why? Goes very well.. did rim brake win anything at the tdf sofar?
@@Stevenafoe the TT was won on rim, I didn't mean to have the 'crazy' on the end, it was meant to be a non judgemental question.
@@Stevenafoe 2020. wouod have won 2021 as well, Rim wa susee for climbs but the issue is WHEELS, rims. the rim tubular supply is now near zero and even the bora wto is only disk tubular not rim tubular. hence riders go for disk due to RIMS not disk advantage... i pass countless disk riders ar effort, that 2 lbs lighter helps
So the car following behind David the whole time was from Colnago to make sure he'd never crashed it?
😂
Sweet ride! How does it compare to the C64?
Feels faster and sharper based on my limited ride. Would love to do a back to back comparison
What is the size of the frame?
It was a size 52 so a 55/56 top tube I think from memory
@@davidarthur Thanks!
Corsa tyres are faster
7.1 kg aint a light bike ;) and Pogcar won't ride this bike the way it is, that's for sure !!!
