One of 2010’s most sought-after road rides and a success story that proved that steel is still a material to be reckoned with for a fast road ride. For 2011 we’ve upgraded the frame to Reynolds 725 tubing to add durability and reduce the wall thicknesses in places. Fast, fun and comfortable all the way with a nod to both modern frame design and racing bikes of past generations, this is the bike that we’d recommend to anyone that loves the feel of a taut steel frame and the hum of 100psi tyres; to those who dream of Alpine cols and are inspired by the feats of the ‘giants of the road’ yet have no aspirations beyond Cat 3

What is a Road Bike?Referred to as road racing bikes, the clue is in the title here. These bikes concentrate on being light weight and reducing drag to increase speed. Thanks to their drop handlebars they have a stretched out feel, again for aerodynamics. So efficiency is the name of this game, definitely not comfort. For more information on road bikes see our
