Sibling Harmony
Brothers Richard and Mark commissioned builds each for 2018 Open UP Gravel Plus bikes. They never even argued about the colour! Both bikes show common themes and individual project variation. Everyone who has an Open raves about the sense of adventure these beautiful bikes offer. 80% of our Open builds use 1x11 and 60% take two sets of wheels - generally 650bx21.MTB and 700x32 road/cross. The ability to have a bike with a multiple personality with a 15 second wheel change is truly addictive. The original Open UP is now much copied but never bettered. It is an idea and a bike that has spawned a whole way of riding. Last year Jules raced his UP three ways in six months - road-race, cyclo-x and MTB race!
