Open U.P.PER. 2.0.

A quick re-cap.

  • Andy and Gerard leave BMC and Cervelo respectively and form Open Cycles
  • Their mantra was and still is: “working hard to stay small”
  • 2014 - Open launches original Open UP (Unbeaten Path)
  • 2024 - Open move all their production to Portugal
  • 2025 - U.P.PER. & 2.0. available in small numbers

"A few years ago, seeing everything that was happening in the world, we concluded that freedom needs to permeate everything we do at OPEN"

Andy & Gerard

What our clients say

  • "A different level of professionalism! Super friendly and they really cared."

    CB

    Regular cyclist

  • "The personal service from both Phil and Julian is second to none. They have such a wealth of experience in fitting that they can almost tell at a glance if something is just a little off. It felt as though it didn't matter how long it took to get the best position possible - even for an amateur cyclist like myself. Can't recommend them enough."

    Susan

    Cyclist

  • "I tried the shorter cranks today and I like them - it feels like it's less stress for the back and it seems easier to ride higher cadence. In the end I had a good Tour with no back problems. Thanks for your help!"

    Bauke Mollema

  • "A very thorough, professional and personal service. I was keen to analyse my bike position after breaking my hip. The custom footbeds and alterations to my position feel really good, just wish I’d come sooner! Many thanks"

    TD

    Endurance MTB rider

  • "Very very personalised service. You arrive, they expect you, greet you by first name, have checked your file from past visits and set out very clearly what the process will be, what issues they're looking to address and how and they are happy to take the time to walk you through everything in layman's terms. Almost any professional service entity could learn a lot from how Cyclefit works. "
