WASHINGTON, DC (WUSA9/CPSC)--If you own a Colnago racing bike or frame kit, take note. According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) Colnago CF10 and Colnago V1-r racing bikes and bike frame kits that fit 28-inch wheels are being recalled because the front brakes can detach from the fork during use, posing a crash hazard.
According to the CPSC no injuries have been reported.
The CPSC says "Colnago for Ferrari" is on the downtube and the Ferarri logo is on the seat tube of the CF10. "Colnago" is on the downtube and the Ferrari logo is on the crossbar of the V1-r model. Model numbers CF10 or V1-r are on both sides of the front fork. Model CF10 frames come in the colors black with white letters and red trim, and black with white letters and yellow trim. Model V1-r frames come in the colors black with white letters and red trim, gray with black letters and black trim, gray with white letters and white trim, and white with silver letters and silver trim.
The bikes and kits were sold from August 2014 to April 2015.
If you have one of these items you are advised to stop using the bicycles and frame kits and contact Colnago America for a free inspection. The CPSC says if the hole in the front fork for the brake mounting bolt is not at least 12mm in depth, the front fork will be replaced for free.
