Or two\u2026 But would you splash out extra for a limited edition from your favourite brand?<\/strong><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Canyon Speedmax CF SLX Kraftwerk Edition<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>In 2017, I was lucky enough to be sent along to the Grand D\u00e9part in D\u00fcsseldorf and two of my favourite passions intersected \u2013 cycling and techno. Canyon\u2019s founder and CEO Roman Arnold grew up as a huge Kraftwerk fan and D\u00fcsseldorf was home to both the band and the entrepreneur. So, it seemed fitting that Canyon would ask the Kraftwerk founder and cycling enthusiast Ralf Hutter to produce a design for the bike.<\/p>\n<div class=\"embed-controller-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"embed-wrapper\"><iframe title=\"Canyon Ultimate CF SLX Kraftwerk - The Cycle Show 2017\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/NksRhb1xOSg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The design was so difficult to apply that only 21 of these bikes were produced. Tony Martin had the honour of riding the bike in the opening time trial and after a fantastic day of racing, Kraftwerk played songs from their album Tour de France. It doesn\u2019t get better than that.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Saffron Frameworks steel-framed Dan Craven Edition<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Last year, Dan Craven decided to buck the pro-racing trend by opting to start the Commonwealth Games road race on Australia\u2019s Gold Cost on a steel-framed bike. Partnering with the Woolwich-based boutique workshop, Craven wanted a race geometry but with the toughness of steel.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/B0BztcPHDaC\/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link<\/p>\n<p>Clearly, Craven wanted to do so in style, and I honestly can\u2019t think of another English bike manufacturer who consistently turns out paint jobs this beautiful. One limited edition of such beauty is an achievement. But they have quite the catalogue \u2013 and they do mountain bikes too.<\/p>\n<div class=\"embed-controller-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"embed-wrapper\"><iframe title=\"Meet the Maker - Saffron Frameworks\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qbPt7CRVnpU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2><strong>Felipe Pantone\u2019s Specialized Romance<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>It doesn\u2019t get much more limited edition than a run of one (1) bicycle. Argentine-Spanish artist Felipe Pantone was asked to help create a bike to be auctioned for the very worthwhile charity \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/worldbicyclerelief.org\/en\/\">World Bicycle Relief<\/a>. Pantone enlisted the support of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rmnc.cc\">Romance<\/a>, a small London cycle apparel with an eye for colour, and an understanding of #cyclechic.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2019\/07\/felipe-pantone-romance-specialized-bicycle-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-174730\" src=\"https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2019\/07\/felipe-pantone-romance-specialized-bicycle-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The result is a breathtaking realisation of Pantone\u2019s artistic vision and considering the artist says he\u2019s, \u201call for people interacting with my artwork\u201d, you\u2019ll literally be riding a work of art. And what a work of art \u2013 a Specialized S-Works with SRAM RED eTap groupset with carbon Roval deep-section wheels. Auction house Sotheby\u2019s London have valued it at \u00a335,000.<\/p>\n<lite-youtube videoid=nWoqg0WOGFQ params=\"enablejsapi=1\" style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi_webp\/nWoqg0WOGFQ\/maxresdefault.webp');\"><\/lite-youtube>\n<h2><strong>Scott Contessa Spark RC, Kate Courtney\u2019s Limited Edition Colorway<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>World Champion, Kate Courtney, raced this one-off frame in Andorra, earlier in the month. Nino Schurter gets a similar frame but the men\u2019s geometry allows Scott to make several, meaning Courtney\u2019s reaches new heights of exclusivity.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_174732\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-174732\" style=\"width: 1600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2019\/07\/p6pb17426657.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-174732\" src=\"https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2019\/07\/p6pb17426657.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-174732\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u00a9 Andy Vathis for Pinkbike<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>But fear not, you can buy a similar N1NO HMX frame kit, with colour-matched Syncros Hixson handlebars, SRAM XX1 AXS group, Level Ultimate brakes, and RockShox suspension \u2013 but the pricing is yet to be announced and only 100 will be available. But you still won\u2019t be able to get your hands on a Courtney frame and, frankly, there\u2019s little point you owning one.
