A quick re-cap.

  • 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 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

  • "Cyclefit provide a great personalised service that focuses on giving you exactly what you need. They are extremely knowledgable and friendly and no request/requirement is too difficult for them."

    PM

    Cyclist & triathlete

  • "A great service, full of personal touches as well as the "harder" scientific analysis of my position on the bike, which was also excellent. I feel more planted on the bike now, and came away with some really useful feedback from the session."

    Ed H

    London Dynamo Rider

  • "Rode my standard Box Hill loop this morning with the temp shims and more thought to position. Felt more connected and compact on the bike. Fastest ride of the year, picked up close to a km/per hour despite crappy wet pot holed roads, a ton of traffic and a couple of nights out Thu/Fri."

    Seven Evergreen SL

  • "I have a lot of trust in you guys and I know how you work so I think we could do something good. Orthotics feeling good."
