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

  • "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

  • "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"

    Endurance MTB rider

  • "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."

    New Cyclist

  • "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."

    London Dynamo Rider

  • "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. "
