I normally ride a Colnago M10, which is a 48cm sloping size, I am 172cm tall. I have never found comfort to be an issue when it comes to Colnagos and the C-RS continued this trend of silky smooth comfort, taking potholes and Dorset’s rural lanes in its stride.Some may turn their noses up that a Shimano Ultegra groupset, a distinctly non-Italian brand, adorns this bike.
