Colnago C68 Gravel | Size 540 | HGWH | 8.055 g

SRAM Red AXS | Princeton Dual 5550 Evolution

A Colnago C68 Gravel like this is built for riders looking for something truly distinctive, combining Italian craftsmanship with a carefully selected, high-performance setup.

The customer, based in Turkey and already a returning client, got in touch via email with a clear idea in mind. He was looking for something special, a gravel bike made in Italy that could stand out not only in performance but also in character. From the very beginning, the focus was on exclusivity and attention to detail.

Using his bike fit report, we confirmed both frame size and cockpit dimensions, ensuring the position would be exactly right. From there, the build evolved around his request for unique components. The Princeton Dual 5550 Evolution wheelset was chosen for its distinctive design and performance, while the Darimo Nexum Drag cockpit helped reduce weight and add a refined, minimal look.

Rather than shipping the bike, the customer came to Bergamo to collect it in person, turning the delivery into part of the experience before bringing it back to Turkey.

A project shaped around individuality, just as a bike like this deserves.
