Gilberto Colombo Centenary - Gilco 100 Road Bike
To celebrate the 100th anniversary of Gilberto Colombo's birth, the idea was born to design a road bike using Colombo's latest innovation in tubing. The result is Fabrice Domercq and Jasper Morrison's creation, which experiments with innovative technical solutions. Equipped with internal tie-rods to complete the tubular reinforcements, it has been built following a glued frame construction system to leave nothing visible other than the Colombo tubes. The bicycle is completed by a Campagnolo Record groupset and a Super Leggera saddle by Selle Italia from the same era in which the tubes were designed.
