The arrival of a Colnago-branded cardboard box at the RCUK office this week has heralded an exclusive first look at the company’s brand new Ace, its first bike designed especially for sportive riding.

And, fresh out of the box, boy does it look great. A bold white and red colourway matched with plenty of white components will certainly make it a bike to stand out among all the others on a sportive, while the bike itself has all the ingredients needed to make it a highly-competent mile muncher.

You can find out a bit more about the Ace here, where we first revealed details of Colnago’s latest addition. And once we’ve got a couple of hours logged onboard we’ll bring you some impressions from our first ride next week.
