Frame details and sources

Tire clearance: 42 mm
Feature text: tires up to a nominal 42 mm, a limit Colnago says it chose on purpose. Two build tables on the same page list 45 mm and the Force build lists 42 mm. GnR stores the feature statement, following the owner's October 26, 2026 decision for the same conflict on the G4-X.
Mounts: Two bottle cage mounts (down tube and seat tube) and two top tube rivets for a frame bag, per Colnago. No rack or load limit is implied.
