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.

    World and Olympic champion, Ineos Grenadiers.

  • "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."
