The Kevin of Steel with some small changes to allow for even more adventure.

• Apex Eagle for that extra range
• Curve 415 Fork giving all the clearance and a slightly higher stack height
• 20five wheels for reliability
• Rambler 45mm to go anywhere
• cages so that you have your bottles when you get there

In store now.

The new Aspero is a gravel bike for the way *most* people ride gravel bikes:

• Fast on road and groad
• Clearance for 45mm tyres, and a little more when needed, while still letting you make it an all road bike without damaging the handling
• Easy pedalling and a racer feel without getting too stiff and hurting you over every bump
• Enough adventure features for a big day but not so many that you feel you can only ride it when touring
• It looks good standing still 😍

In addition it comes with all the thought through features that Cervelo is known for, and a frame construction that really is worthy of the brand.

We are blown away by this one, and you will be too.

The Kevin with GRX820 is the perfect do-everything spec for us. Reliable, comfortable and easy to live with it ticks all of the boxes for a bike made to be ridden.

So where are you taking it this summer?

12/10/2024

The New Year is fast approaching and so we need to change up some stock. With that in mind we have some slightly better deals on floor and demo bikes (L and XXL Curve GXR, 61cm Factor Ostro) available.

If you’re in the market but looking for some help reach out and let us help you.

Built for fun. Built for speed. Built for smiles. But for endless miles.

A beautiful GXR with GRX 12 Speed, Curve GravAl Wheels and Walmer Bars, Pirelli tyres and Easton finishing kit.

Ready for whatever you throw at it, and then some more.

See it now .

There’s a lot to love about this Kevin or Steel, but most of all that it’s off to a happy home ready for a whole lot of exploring.

Werner knew what he wanted, so no credit can be taken, but we love the build. GRX, parts, saddle and Ramblers on wheels. Performance, reliability and comfort.

Cheers to many happy adventures!

Gravel bikes for every rider, and every occasion, that’s what we provide.

🤝 Kevin of Steel, you two are a perfect match.

Reliability, performance, durability, comfort, adventure. It is ready to ride, wherever you decide.

Big Air Kev, it’s quite the sight 😍

While the Kev is and will forever be a special bike the Air Kev takes it to the next level. Custom 3D printed sections, hand bonded Carbon-Ti meeting points and the same legendary smoothness that makes a Curve special. There’s not much more dream bike than this.

06/02/2024

A very special bike is heading North, the first Air Kev in 🇿🇦.

The progression of our beloved Kevin, with all the learnings from the dreamy Belgie Air, this is one very special gravel bike.

A 3D printed seatpost topper and a carbon seatmast hand bonded to the Titanium frame are the stars of the show, but every millimetre of the bike is a story of craftsmanship.

Finished off with everything you can dream of for a bike, this will be a very special part of the new owners life. A true dream build.

Congrats, Rob.

This year I promise to finally get an event of sorts together, although my view of how that starts and grows is not that of a big event organiser.

I will keep the route as accessible as possible. The focus will be on a 200km 90% gravel route but shorter options will be possible. There won’t be any long climbs but it’s the Midlands so it also won’t be flat. The start/finish will sell good coffee before the ride and good food after and there will be parking and showers. Ride stops will (for now) be self-supported with compulsory stopped-time. The entry will be no more than any trail fees the route requires. It will be a ride that reflects what gravel is to me.

Dates tbc, but April is the goal. Hopefully the rain will have stopped by then 🤷🏼‍♂️

What if we put on a bike ride that absolutely definitely without a doubt is not a race?

Would you be there?

The Christmas 200 was an absolute blast.

Next year again?

This is Fred. Fred has never ridden 200km. We are going to correct that, on Thursday (28/12). Every December needs a 200km day, after all.

If you want to ride 200km too we will be leaving Athlone Circle at 4:50am, rain (probably) or shine (unlikely), and you’re welcome to too. It’s not a group ride and there will be no support, but starting together makes it feel easier.

The route link will be posted tomorrow once the weather is a bit more certain, but I t will be gravel and tar. Ride at your own risk, pace and enjoyment. I’ll make sure that there are regular points to stop for snacks along the way.

had a jumper edition this year with incredible rides all through the field and conditions to match.

The right bike, the Big Kev, under the right rider, , proved too much for everyone and for the course as a new record was set. Having some experience in the Karoo we can safely say this will be THE time for a very long time. Sub 48 hours is something special for 1,130km! Huge respect to you for that ride!

came in in 7th, breaking 3 days, and Mike Wilson in 12th, in just over 3 days. Both on Big Kev’s too.

bikes have now won 3 out of the 9 editions of the race, as well as been under riders throughout the field, proving they really are the best gravel bikes for anything The Karoo can throw at you.

Well done to all finishers, it takes something special to conquer that beast.

A week in the mountains and on open Karoo roads with
getting that first hit of fitness for .

680km and 30hrs (and then some) on the bike is a lot in 5 days, but time riding with your partner and learning to deal with your body and mind when you’re finished, but not finished riding, matters. Doing that in a beautiful place helps, too.

Cheers for the laughs and the memories, even the 50kph headwinds yesterday. That was a week that reminded me what fun the prep for Epic can be.
