Bikes of the Bunch - Cielo Sportif Classic

March 28, 2014

Today we thought we’d feature something a little different for Bikes of the Bunch. This one belongs to a mate of mine who has a fancy race bike and carbon wheels that he rides most days of the week, but this bike satisfies a much different need. There’s always a “need” for another bike, right?

Bikes of the Bunch - The Baumpton

June 18, 2013

I can’t remember the last time I technically “owned” a bike that I’ve chosen myself. That’s not to say I haven’t ridden some beautiful bikes in my day and I’ve always been thankful to sponsors, but I’ve always looked forward to the process to custom building a bike. So being able to direct the design […]

Bikes of the bunch: Alby’s Passoni

June 10, 2013

In this edition of Bikes of the Bunch we feature a bike that doesn’t sacrifice function over style. You might think of Passoni as being a bike that’s too precious to ride, but let me assure you, this one will be given a flogging.

May 30, 2013

Since 2010 Mario Cipollini has been working to develop a range of high performance road bikes under his name. The bikes are loud and audacious, a lot like Cipo, and this was no more apparent than in last year’s launch of the Cipollini Bond.
