There's a range of limited edition (numbered) clothing to go with it. If you have to ask for the prices you shouldn't even think of buying any.

Perfect for all those hedge fund managers out there. The derailleurs are seriously fugly, though, especially on such a refined frame.

Funny how internal cable/hose/wiring routing, through axles and internal seatpost binder, tapered fork steerer, t47 bb - all things that became necessary on carbon frames, have been carried backwards, making the frame material a statement only.

The technology behind the 3D printed lugs is impressive but that's about as far as it goes - the frame is fugly and so is the Campagnolo group set.
And that's from a long-time (40 year) Colnago rider. I'd could also say that I'm a 50 year Campagnolo fanboi but their products over the last decade haven't done anything for me. OK, the brifters on that set look alright but the bulky mechs are awful - reminding me of those massive Motorola 4500X mobile phones that only bodybuilders could lug around.
If I had unlimited disposable funds would I buy a Steelnovo?
No.

In what way is a 3d printed lug better than a cnc'd, or particularly a cast or forged item?

Fashion buzzword.

That's the way.

If there are only 70, is the price not too cheap.
They should have set it at Banana Art money to attract the real loons.
