haha. I was in the south of France, near Monaco after high school and found a pair of earplugs that had the Ferrari logo on the bottle. I was going to buy them until I saw the price was more then my budget for the whole trip. That bike is probably a rebadged Huffy.

its a rebadged Colnago, and it retails for almost $3,000. i'm sure if it was any other brand, the same bike would be selling for less than a grand... hahaeringel said:

PS-Colnago designs Ferrari branded bikes, and makes a few of their high end models in "Ferrari" editions

Alonso is a child who like throwing toys out of his pram when things don't work out for him.... i wonder who's gonna get hit by that bike, come the end of this season when he gets his ass whopped by a certain 41 year old german...
seems like Colnago mostly manufactures road bikes... i guess it makes more sense for ferrari to be making road bikes because they know the terrain well, but a mountain bike? i've never seen an off road ferrari... lol.
Here are the specs on that bike... very very unimpressive for a bike that costs $2600...
The frame of the CX 50 is made from top quality and ultra-light materials as the hydroformed aluminium and the carbon fiber.
This model features Suntour XCR-RL forks, XC aluminium handlebar with aluminium 3D cold forged stem, Shimano hydraulic disk brake (BR-M485), Continental Explorer Pro 26 tires and Shimano Deore shifters and derailleurs and super Narrow 9 speed chain.
The Ferrari CX 50 is completed by a Ferrari Sport Edition microfiber saddle, Wellgo pedals and double density grips.
The Ferrari CX 50 bicycle is perfect for an everyday use.
The Ferrari CX 50 bicycle has been produced by Turbo with Colnago exclusively for Ferrari.
Frame size: M - 470 mm.
Weight: 13.2 kg
Colour: red Ferrari Team
Two-year guarantee.

I judge F1 driver based on their girlfriends...making David Coultard the greatest driver of all time and Jenson Button the current top driver on top of being the World Champion

Fernando and Ferrari, my least favorite driver/team combo ever. I have much respect for Massa so I'd like to see him do well this year......even if he is in a Ferrari
It would be wonderful if he could outpace Fernando this year:yesnod:But....I'll be routing for Vettel once again

Colnago designed the frame, but they're not building it, I think. I've seen the bike and it's not worth $1,000, unless you just want to say you own a Ferrari.himalayas_xc said:

You might be surprised how many frames Colnago no longer makes...they too have gone the Asian route like most companies on their low and mid level stuff.rzozaya1969 said:

Unfortunately that was a horribly boring race to watch. Other then Alonso making a pass on the start, the only changes for position would be Vettels exhaust breaking allowing a few cars by, and then the few spots McLaren made up in the pits due to having other competitors "trapped" in the pits now that you are not allowed to exit if there is another car within 55m of your pit boxhimalayas_xc said:
I was also surprised how slow the cars were relative to their q times. I know no refuelling, but the tires are being manufactured so they CAN last half a race instead of disintegrating to nothing the way tires used to the last time in F1 history when refuelling was not allowed.

So why are car manufacturers making bikes? I can understand Michelin making bike tires but a car company building bikes? :madman: Seriously, just stop.... I certainly hope Toyota doesn't come out with any bikes... hate to see people not being able to stop due to un-tuned disc brakes!
