COLNAGO - STEELNOVO
$9,200.00CAD
Colnago Steelnovo – Modern Steel, Italian Soul, Built Your Way at The Wheelhouse
The Colnago Steelnovo is a love letter to classic Italian steel, rewritten for today’s rider. Handcrafted Columbus steel tubing, 3D‑printed lugs, seamless welds, and modern clearances come together in a frame that feels alive on real roads – not just smooth tarmac.
At The Wheelhouse in Calgary, we take this already special frameset and turn it into your dream modern steel road bike, tailored to how and where you ride.
Why the Colnago Steelnovo Belongs in The Wheelhouse
We built The Wheelhouse around riders who care about feel, craftsmanship, and story – not just grams and watts. The Steelnovo fits that philosophy perfectly:
- 100% Italian steel frame using Columbus tubing
- 3D‑printed joints and seamless welds for precision and strength
- Modern road geometry that balances agility with all‑day comfort
- Wide tire clearance for real‑world roads and rougher pavement
- Fully compatible with current groupsets and components
For us, the Steelnovo isn’t a “retro” bike. It’s a serious performance platform with the soul of a classic Colnago and the capability of a modern road machine.
Key Features of the Colnago Steelnovo
Italian Columbus Steel, Reimagined
Columbus steel has been at the heart of iconic Italian race bikes for decades. On the Steelnovo, Colnago pairs these tubes with advanced shaping and 3D‑printed lugs to deliver:
- A lively, springy ride feel under power
- Excellent vibration damping for long days in the saddle
- A frame that ages beautifully and can be ridden for decades
This is steel for riders who want connection to the road, not isolation from it.
Modern Geometry for Real‑World Riding
The Steelnovo uses a contemporary road geometry designed for:
- Confident descending and precise cornering
- Stable handling on long alpine or prairie descents
- A position that works for both spirited group rides and all‑day adventures
It’s equally at home on a fast Calgary group ride, a long day into the foothills, or a week in Tuscany or Mallorca.
Tire Clearance & Everyday Versatility
With generous tire clearance, the Steelnovo lets you run:
- 28–32 mm tires for fast, smooth road riding
- Wider rubber for rough pavement, chip seal, and mixed surfaces
If your riding blends performance, comfort, and exploration, this frame gives you the flexibility to set it up exactly how you want.
Built for You: Wheelhouse Custom Colnago Steelnovo Builds
The real magic happens when we build your Steelnovo at The Wheelhouse.
Step 1: ID Match Bike Fit
Every Steelnovo build starts with a professional bike fit using our ID Match system from Selle Italia. We dial in:
- Frame size and geometry choice
- Stem length and angle
- Handlebar width and flare
- Saddle model and position
The goal: a Steelnovo that feels like it was made for you – because it effectively is.
Step 2: Component Selection
We’ll help you choose the right build for how you ride and where you ride:
- Groupsets: Campagnolo, Shimano, or SRAM electronic/mechanical options
- Wheelsets: Lightweight carbon for climbing, aero for speed, or robust all‑rounders
- Cockpit & finishing kit: Bars, stem, seatpost, and saddle that match your fit and aesthetic
- Tires: Fast road, endurance, or all‑road options depending on your routes
If you’re not sure where to start, we’ll walk you through curated build options that make sense for Calgary roads and your riding style.
Step 3: Final Tuning & Ride‑Ready Delivery
Your Steelnovo is assembled and tuned in‑house by our mechanics, then test‑ridden and checked so that when you roll out of The Wheelhouse, the bike disappears beneath you in the best possible way.
