C72 La Scala

One of only 72 numbered bikes, created to celebrate the launch of the C72 at Teatro alla Scala in Milan. Colnago's modular 7-piece lugged carbon frame in an opera-inspired livery, with a full Campagnolo Super Record 13 WRL wireless groupset and dedicated La Scala edition Bora Ultra WTO 45 wheels and Prologo saddle.

This exclusive edition translates the language of opera into a bicycle, where design, material and light come together in a perfectly composed expression.

Colnago x La Scala

This special limited edition has been created to celebrate the launch of C72 - held in the heart of Milan, at Teatro alla Scala. The Colnago C72 La Scala Limited Edition Bike sits at the top of the C72 lineup, finished as a tribute to the theater that gave the bike its name.

Numbered Limited Edition

Only 72 pieces have been produced. Each bike comes with a dedicated booklet telling the story and inspiration behind the project, and every frame in the run carries its production number on the fork alongside the collaboration logo, so no two riders own quite the same bike. It is suited to a collector-minded rider who still intends to put miles into it, not shelve it.

Design Inspiration

The livery draws direct inspiration from the aesthetic codes of Teatro alla Scala. Light plays a key role in revealing the bike's character, with finishing techniques introduced here for the very first time. Red, gold and white are applied in layered finishes meant to evoke walking into a theater auditorium, an embossed cloverleaf emblem finished in gold leaf marks the frame, and a refined embossed texture on the seat tube echoes the ornate detailing of La Scala's interior.

Dedicated Components

The C72 La Scala is further enriched by special, dedicated components, such as the Bora Ultra WTO 45 DB special limited edition Colnago La Scala wheels and the Prologo Choice special limited edition Colnago La Scala saddle, neither of which is available on any other build.

Frame Construction

The C72 frame is built using Colnago's modular carbon construction, a technique the brand has refined since the C40 first proved carbon could win Paris-Roubaix in the early 1990s. Rather than molding the frame as one monocoque piece, Colnago assembles it from seven individual carbon parts, tubes bonded to sculpted lugs at Colnago's Cambiago facility in Italy. Different carbon fiber types are used section by section, letting the builders tune stiffness, vibration absorption and stability independently rather than accepting whatever a single mold produces. The result is a frame whose ride quality comes from how it is put together, not from a single sheet of a spec table.
