Open MI.ND. R2P (Ready to Paint)

Raw carbon finished road bike

Open MIND R2 P 1

The Open MI.ND. is open Cycles road frame with an integrated seatmast. Utilising this design enabled Gerard Vroomen to use a narrow seat tube and seatpost (sort of) that that can flex under the rider for improved comfort. the seat stays are also slimmed down to add comfort too. The finish is R2P or ready to Paint a natural carbon finish that gives the bike a factory test bike look and also exposes any flaws in the carbon if there were any.

Groupset is the amazing Shimano Ultegra Di2 , bars and stem are by Bontrager and favourites of the owner and the wheels are Foundation 45's at an affordable sub £2k price point. the complete bike with nick nacks came in at around £8k. Off to the Ventoux it goes!

What our clients say

  • "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."

  • "Hey Julian and Phil, I hope you are both well. I just completed a 21 hour week on my new 165mm cranks and I am in love. They feel so so great! Thank you for all your help. I’ve never felt so comfortable on my bike before. All the best, Hannah"

    National Champion / Professional Bike 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

  • "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"
