Cannondale Black Inc Hi-Mod Synapse Disc


Part of Cannondale's highly acclaimed Black Inc. collection, the Cannondale Hi-Mod Synapse Disc is one of the finest factory standard complete bicycles in the world.  Released in limited quantities, Cannondale describe the Black Inc. series as "Our Dreams, Your Dream Ride", and it's easy to see why. Without the concerns of price point for the mass market or the UCI weight guidelines that govern the pro circuit, the Black Inc. series sits firmly in the dream bike category.

The frame features Cannondale's proprietary BallisTec Hi-MOD Carbon for stiffness and fully tuned compliance at incredible light weight. The 2015 Synapse Black Inc. frame features some new shapes and details for a more aero and more compliant frame. The seatstays are a work of art, and the cable routing on the fork is some of the most innovative we've seen. Subtle gold accents highlight the gloss and matte finish.

 Equipped with Dura Ace 9000 for the very pinnacle of electronic shifting, Cannondale have chosen their own HollowGram siSL2 crank, saving weight and, we think, adding more personality. The Vision Metron Disc wheel set provides a stable choice for the winter months, being shallow enough to evade the rigours of the wind and with the convenience of the clincher tyre format. 

If you are looking for a highly adaptable road bike, winterproofed with disc brakes, then this could well be for you. Though with the shining performance of the Cannondale Black Inc. Hi-Mod Synapse Disc, will you really want to get off it when the summer returns?

Moots Psychlo X RSL

 With Cyclocross season in full swing there's many a chunky tyred head turner to be seen around, but few can compete with the Moots Psychlo X RSL. Winner of the prestigious NAHBS Best CX Bike award back in 2012, this disc equipped titanium  beauty will take some beating on any terrain. 

CX bikes have become increasingly common as the go-to winter all rounder, as happy on the road as in the mud and filth of the traditional CX race. With tyre clearance of up to 35mm you can be assured of stability and comfort whatever the state of winter roads and the supreme braking power of discs won't leave you white knuckled in the wet.

Shimano Ultegra 11 speed electronic groupset for faultless shifting
 We've laced Chris King R45 disc hubs to Hed Belgium rims for maximum durability and performance in poor conditions. An Enve full carbon fork shaves weight and is the best in it's class for handling. A Chris King headset and top cap in mango, matching the hubs, adds a nice bit of flare to the build as well as the best possible performance. We chose Shimano's Ultegra electronic 11 speed groupset for its no nonsense dependable shifting. 

There are of course almost limitless build options, so please get in touch to discuss your own build or come and see this one in store.

Trek Domane Six Series


The great thing about Trek's Project One programme is that it allows you to really make the bike your own. Mixing specifications and colour schemes to create something unique, whilst still benefitting from all of Trek's research and development, as well as their economies of scale (they buy groupsets in such huge quantities, you get a lot of bang for your buck).


This Six Series Domane is a perfect example, combining an eye-catching paint job with the tried-and-tested ISOspeed shock absorption system. A superb all-rounder with a touch of individual flair.


Stripey Parlee


One of the great joys of speccing up a Parlee is having access to their unlimited paint options - the only limit is your imagination. This Z5 boasts a tasteful yet distinctive set of stripes and inlays, as always lovingly handpainted with not a decal in sight.
