Have a good look. You will almost certainly never see another one!

"I was like a campanologist on steroids the number of strings and ropes that I pulled to get our client this frame!"

OPENxENVE WIDE Limited Edition

The urgent email came through in from a client: "The new OpenxEnve WIDE has tempted me out of lockdown work focus - would you have access to a Medium, if not too late as suggested by the Open blog".

The blog in question was by Open CEO Andy Kessler and went along the lines of:

"Ok, I recommend you not to read this blog until the end... you will waste too much precious time. Just look at the pictures first and then make a quick decision and click here"

I was like a campanologist on steroids the number of strings and ropes that I pulled to get our client this frame! We went on a personal mission. They could have demand for ten times the number of the production allocation. Even though we are the oldest and most established Open dealer in the UK, we don't get any special advance warning. Open limited editions are the most stressful events - every time I talk to Andy afterwards he sounds like he has aged ten years:

"Never again man, I don't know why we do it - the whole company goes into meltdown/overdrive!"

They do it because they love it. And so do we. But it is very stressful and ultimately disappointing for most people. But not this time, not for this lucky client!"

What our clients say

  • "I have been able to ride every day since the fit. So far I have had no pain which feels like a miracle!"

    Neilson Powless

    Professional Cyclist - Education First - Easypost

  • "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. "

    Peter G.

    Recreational rider

  • "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

  • "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

  • "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."
