    I have a favourite saddle, that sadly reached its end of life as the leather wore thin and became 'critical'. We've enjoyed fair weather and foul. Negotiated climb and descent. Travelled far and wide. A faithful friend to the end, I was reluctant to wish this one a final 'bon voyage', but what...

    The grim sound of carbon road bikes

    Joking and cabling issues aside, I will declare that I like my Trek Domane running Bullet 50mm deep carbon wheels: I promise it's relatively quiet and deceptively quick. However, I do like riding my Tommasini Tecno Columbus EL-OS framed bike even more, though the Eurus alloy wheels have a...

    The grim sound of carbon road bikes

    Raleigh 753 SBDU

    I read an article online by a former employee and apparently they did build their own Reynolds 753 frames under the Nigel Dean Brand

    For Sale (SOLD) Rare 1992 Selle San Marco Titanio Saddle, Bontrager designed, Italia Flite Ti

    Thanks-trade secrets I'm afraid, but I recommend when starting as thin as you can find as it's easier to apply and you'll need a contact adhesive. Perforated is much harder as you have to align pattern and the stretch is more challenging, so stick with a plain fine grain leather finish. There's...
