This is the blogging equivalent of the classic saying 'you wait ages for one bus and then two come along at once'...

We aim to bring you all the latest goings-on here at RaceScene and today we have more goings-on than you can shake a dedaccia stem at. RaceScene now boast in it's store new Colnago & De Rosa bikes for 2012...and they demand your undivided attention!

2012 Colnago ACE

The Ace offers head-turning style with spine-saving comfort. Specifically designed to provide an easy ride for Gran Fondo riders and those who are just starting to take their cycling seriously the Ace provides a more upright and comfortable position than our standard geometries. The frame is a carbon fibre monocoque and features round main tubes and square chainstays. The study of cross-sections, combined with a careful analysis of the layout of the carbon fibres has made it possible to maximise comfort without compromising lateral stiffness for performance and riding pleasure. Available in 8 sloping sizes and two colour variations.

Also new is the C-HS1 headset system and the fork, made specifically to work together with the new headset to improve manoeuvrability and steering precision.
