Open MIND California

Open Cycles from Switzerland are inveterate rule-breaking mavericks. And the California proves it beyond any doubt.

To most people this would represent a non-descript carbon bike. But those who know. Know.

Open MIND California 3.0

For a company called Open, Gerard and Andy sure do like to play their cards close to their chests. We had no idea that the MIND CA project had ever got off their biscuit-fuelled mood-board. Privately and publically they have admitted it has been a crazy project that no spreadsheet obsessed big corporation would ever consider. And that is why we love Open - they are mavericks - even Andy who is the more sensible partner.

This bike is for our client Toby. He never considered an Open until he took our test-bike for a whizz. We have learnt from experience that our test-bike reliably makes hardened adults weep with joy. And so it was. we hope you enjoy Toby.

What our clients say

"Honestly these are great (custom orthotics). My feet feel totally balanced and stable and I‘m not searching for the pedal when I want to push it. They’ve made a massive difference.”"

"Julian was very knowledgeable and explained the fitting process very well. He came highly recommended and i completely agree. Very happy with the service. Instantly felt better on the bike. The pain i had in my knee went away right away. "

Recreational cyclist
"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. "

"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."

"I'm new to cycling so needed some support on finding a bike that would be right for me. Julian couldn't have been kinder or more supportive, he took time to find out what I wanted from my cycling and then looked closely at my physical structure to ensure that the bike is a comfortable fit for me. It really is a 5 star service and far exceeded my expectations."
