I saw that too. Looks like another wheelset for use with motorcycle brakes only. Yawn.

Two of the pics definitely look like a closeup of a new wheelset/s but this one looks like a new control lever:

A little bird told me it's a modern 2x13 mechanical groupset in polished silver and exclusively with rim brakes, made exclusively for the tens of people at Paceline who say they'd buy such a groupset.

Each group will be personally etched and pantographed in Italian colors by the CEO of the company himself, who will personally deliver the components and install them with Italian mechanics supervising.

Saab.

Almost. They are only making 11, but the pope gets groupset 1.

Maybe they're finally releasing the lightweight climbing wheels that some pros were seen using last year.

I would love an electronic ekar group. Mine had challenges with full internal routing thru bars and frame on my Wilier Rave. Never quite downshifted crisply with all the bends in the house
