Very Rare Ferrari

Great to see the bike actually being used. I have only ever seen them on lucite stands in people's offices!

 

looks cool . is it expensive ?

 

Wow, thats cool.

 

nice toy , thats cool to see that he ride it

 

my wife did that many years ago. she had a great time.

 

Thanks John! It was a nice surprise that you posted these pictures. This bike was hanging in the bike store (Strictly Bicycles in Fort Lee, NJ) I frequent for several months. I just couldn't bare seeing it hanging on a wall, even though most bicyclist who go in say that's where it belongs. The Italian bicycle manufacturer, Colnago, has collaborated with Ferrari for 20 years on carbon fiber and technical design. This limited edition bicycle, 1 of 60 built in the whole world (20 in the U.S.), was designed for Ferrari to celebrate their 60th Anniversary and collaborative efforts. It is expensive, costs $11,000, but the shop owner gave me a $2500 trade in on another high-end bike I had. So I feel I got a great deal. And yes those tires are very red. The store ironically only had red tires at the time, I probably would have put on the traditional black. But a lot of people like the red tires.

 

That's really cool!

Thanks for the pictures and for joining in to chat with us!!!

 

My god! What is a belt and break change for that cost?!!?!?!?! $$,$$$???????

Do you have to do it ever 10k miles?!!?

 

Goth, of course, would want one in Nero....

Husker would want one with an Alpaca seat....

Verell would want one with missing pieces....

Roberto in Canada (Nightlife) would want one with a drink holder....

And Steve in Vegas (the Onlyest) would HAVE to have one that he could mount a satellite dish on...

I would want one with air conditioning....

Mike in Kuwait

 

I would want it with bow and stern missile launchers!

 

Cool pictures.........nice tires .

 

One of only 60?! You'd better take good care of it, but it's great that you're actually riding it. The red tires are very cool.

 

I would stick black slicks on it for my normal ride and the reds back on for special events. Cant imagine how difficult the original reds would be to locate; best to save them for special rides.

 

Good point! Call Dan and get a replacement set NOW and put them in a noentropy box.

 

Very cool!

Welcome to Ferrarichat Andrew.

Cool pics and FANTASTIC bike mate!! I love Colnago Ferrari bikes and will eventually get one myself.

 

So can it be serviced at a Ferrari dealer?


And...how much does it weigh!!!





There is no reason not to ride it. It's a bike. It's a very simple piece of machinery that can easily be repaired and maintained. Those who think it should remain a display item are snobs.

 

How much does it weigh, all in? Not just the frame, but as you ride it? Would love to know if it's any lighter than my $800 all-carbon Scott CR-1 (which is at 16 lbs). It was $2,000 originally, but I got a deal at Christmas-time.

I am thinking of losing a few hundred grams by going with an all-carbon handlebar. Anyone have any opinions?

 

carbon ceramic brakes ;\

 

Speaking of exotic bikes, who has connections that could get or advise on how to get a Pro level racing bike? I understand that they are sold sparingly to non-pros.

 

Thanks all for the welcome. Sounds like the consensus is to stick with the red tires. Coming from other Ferrari owners, I'm sure that's sound feedback. Funny about servicing at Ferrari dealerships, I'll have to check into that . As far as weight, it's a little more than 16 lbs. The only concession I made when I purchased it was I changed the seat at the advise of the store owner and a couple others. What came with the bike was a carbon fiber hand painted Sella saddle with the the 60th Anniversary Ferrari emblem. That I do have hung on the wall in my office. Looks great!

 

And me (hank sound), I'd make a Spider Top for it

 

Very cool, thanks for sharing. The bike looks great.
