Chris Horner's Saturn Lemond 2003 Tete de Course

much of the 2003 season; note how Leipheimer has his Dura Ace STI levers mounted
high up on the ITM bars that are supported by a Colnago-badged ITM stem. FIR

Maiden Voyage
Emerging Ukranian cycling star Yaroslav Popovych had a very special new bike
for the Hamilton World Cycling Championships. Popo was aboard a brand-new Colnago
C-50, being used for the first time in pro competition. Note the larger diameter
high modulus carbon fibre tubes mated to the 1.125-inch, non-integrated headset
and Force carbon fork.
The C-50 uses Colnago's B-Stay seat stays and High Power chainstays; the HP
stays have been rounded for the new C-50. Popo's Limar F-104 helmet hangs from
the ITM Colnago stem.

Friends meet at Hamilton
Old friends Ernesto Colnago and Fred Mengoni share a laugh in the pits at the
Hamilton Worlds. Colnago is a long-time sponsor of Fred's cycling teams, including
Steve Bauer's 1984 Olympic Silver Medal and World 1984 Pro Road Championships
Bronze riding for Canada and GS Mengoni. Even at over 80 years old, New Yorker
Mengoni can be found speeding around Central Park on his personal Colnago.
