In recent weeks, four notable product launches left me choking on my breakfast porridge: two from Colnago, one from Wahoo, and one from Jaguar.
The first, the Colnago Steelnova, is an achingly beautiful bike hand-fashioned from Columbus steel tubing with a trolley load of Campagnolo components lovingly bolted on. It carries the graceful air of a ‘restomod’ - a craftsman-honed modern classic, built to traditional proportions using time-favoured materials but with just enough modern tech – 3D printing and an electronic groupset – to bring it into the 21st Century without upsetting the purists.
