When photographer Luke James decided to build his dream Colnago C68, we couldn’t wait to see the result! The C series is a bike with a heritage which few bikes can rival. It’s latest generation, C68, results from 4 years of research and development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a creative with a long standing passion for road cycling, both performance and aesthetics are extremely important to Luke. He set out to create a beautiful, high end masterpiece which any road bike enthusiast would be proud of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luke opted for the black colourway, which is both discreet and interesting in equal measure. The frame has a subtle, but adequate, contrast between the gloss and matte paint finishes. A flick of gloss dark grey and the Italian flag make this stealthy frame instantly recognizable as a Colnago, even from a distance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For racing and chasing down KOM’s, the right choice of wheels is vital. Luke opted for a set of Lightweights, wrapped in Pirelli P-Zero tyres. The production of carbon wheels is an artform, which Lightweight have engineered down to the last details. The Pirelli P-Zero needs no introduction. They give an excellent balanced performance and are the go to tyre for many riders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
