Introducing Greenrock




We are really excited to be working with Greenrock, who offer truly amazing trips. For instance who does not fancy an 11 day ride around Bhutan, 4 days in the North of Norway, the entire TdF route or even the mental sounding 4700km Race Across Europe!

Their list of Tours is here

Will keep you posted as we confirm more details of our partnership. Exciting times!

More metal magic from those magicians from Massachusetts



This frames blows my mind. I would love to do a Bespoke version with our blue as the highlight colour.....






And proud of it.....

Trek 5.9 with Ultegra Di2


When I was at Trek World last summer I was told about this bike and the spec it had. Its the only bike I have ever placed forward orders for as I think it makes an unbelievable buy given its £3500 price.
For that you get a Madone 5 series frame with integrated seatpost, a full Ultegra DI2 groupset and Ultegra tubeless wheels

We have just recieved a 54 and a 56, and am hoping for more to arrive as we all feel these will be sold out very soon as the issue will be getting more, especially given Shimano's inability to keep up with Ui2 demand....

Gareth's Trek Project One Madone




Gareth had a fitting in late Jan, and 3 weeks later his 'custom' Madone is here. We needed to have a high front end to hit the contact points, so the Madone was perfect as we could spec the H3 (highest) head tube size on the 52 frame.

We also had the ability to spec much shorter crank arms than on his current bike which will really help pedalling fluency.

The built kit is Ultegra and Bonty wheels - these are winter wheels and Gareth is also going to spec a 'summer special' wheelset in a couple of months.

Gareth chose custom paint - looks really deep and metallic in the flesh. Would pop more if we had some sunshine!1

Chris's Parlee Z5SLi (with LWs)



You have seen this bike with the Mavic Carbone tubs, here it is with the Lightweight clinchers. Very nice indeed!

Toby's Piinarello Dogma 2


This is a lovely new Dogma 2 in the Black on Black finish. Gruppo is Chorus and we went to town on the wheels with some of the lovely new Zipp 303 Firecrests. Bars are shallow carbon compacts and the saddle is our new favourite the Kurve

Its rare that a Dogma is accused of being subtle, but this one really is. The decals are very discrete but really 'pop' when you look closely

Tony's S-Works Venge


Tony has a Parlee Z4 and a Z5. He says they are the best bikes he has ever had. However he has the itch for a new bike, and we decided to do something very different and base the project around the Aero bike concept. So we got a stealth black S-Works Venge. The Gruppo is his usual Dura Ace 7900 and we went with full S-Works contact points. So the wonderful Romin saddle and the carbon shallow reach bars. Finally some Zipp 404 Firecrest clinchers to complete the package (though the eagle eyed will notice its a placeholder 303 in the picture!).
