Bicycles

Each bicycle has a story, here are some of mine

Cervelo Caledonia

Reserve 34/37 wheels, GP5000 AS TR 32c tires, Shimano 105 2x11 (52-36t front, 11-34t rear)

My first road bike, and I'm glad I picked this one. Rapid, comfortable and immensely capable. I've abused it, pushed it beyond it's limits, taken it on mountain bike trails and it just keeps going. It keeps getting better with time. Exceptional.

Cannondale SuperSix Evo CX

DT Swiss R470 wheels, Schwalbe G-One RS 45c tires, SRAM Force 11 (40t front, 11-42t rear)

A peculiar bike, with a fascinating geometry. A gravel bike which feels faster than a road bike? Very odd. It has potential to be something very special, but it's not quite there yet.

Brilliant L-Train

Gates Carbon Belt Drive, 7-speed

My first bicycle, this was a fantastic commuter and the gates carbon drive was silent, and truly required no maintenance. Gone, but not forgotten.
