Colnago V5Rs - Carbon Frame with STNT Finish
The Colnago V5Rs frame represents the evolution of a legend in cycling, combining technical innovation and an extraordinary handcrafted finish. The new STNT finish marks a return to Colnago’s rich chromatic heritage, reinterpreted with modern techniques to create a unique and captivating visual effect.
The STNT painting process is the result of a long and meticulous entirely handcrafted work, where each color is applied separately and then blended using an airbrush technique. This innovative approach, carried out by the same artisans who in the 1990s and 2000s introduced the legendary Art Decor graphics, leads Colnago craftsmanship towards a more contemporary direction.
The paint formula uses a pearly pigment that matches the base color, designed to enhance brightness and depth. When the colors blend, the result is a three-dimensional effect that changes with the light, creating a dynamic and vibrant look.
Each frame is therefore slightly different and, consequently, one of a kind.

STNT Finish: Handcrafted finish that makes each frame a unique and unmistakable piece.
Airbrush Technology: Each color applied separately for a three-dimensional visual effect.
Pearly Pigment: Use of pearly pigments to enhance brightness and depth of colors.

A Complete Guide to Bike Sizes
Foreword: Not all bike sizes are the same
Each type of bike has a specific frame and often uses a different size scale. For example, a road bike with a 54cm frame might be considered a medium size by one brand, but a large by another.
Bicycle adjustment margins
Some types of bikes, like gravel bikes, offer a wide range of adjustments, adapting to different body types. Other models, however, have limitations in this regard. This is an important aspect to consider.
