Open UPPER
Open Cycles now have many imitators. But no company comes close to Gerard Vroomen's clarity of design, originality or build quality. In this instance the original is still the best by a huge margin. Cyclefit has more experience and wisdom building Open projects than any other company in Europe. 80% of Open projects go out 1 x 11 and 60% go out with two sets of wheels - 650b x MTB and 700c x 32 road/gravel.
On Point Spec
Paul's bike (pictured) is bang on-point and trend. It is the perfect Open build. Extra-light hi-modulus carbon fuselage, 1x11 Di2 shifting and two sets of wheels for maximum versatility.
