I’m known for dealing in cheap bike parts! Most of them straight from China via AliExpress, so naturally I decided to head back to Rouleur Live, and immerse myself in the ULTRA premium side of the bike industry!
Rouleur Live is the UK’s yearly showcase of boutique bikes, ultra-high-end components, and luxury cycling brands. A lot of what’s on display is genuinely incredible, even if the price tags are slightly eye watering…
I check out:
- The new Super Record 13 from Campagnolo, with a single cassette priced at £720!
- Trek with their slightly underwhelming Project One
- Colnago showing off some new anti-counterfeiting tech
- New high-end BB's from Ceramic Speed
- The slightly unnecessary Smart Sense from Cannondale
- A crazy titanium build from No22
- The Bastion Archetype that basically requires a mortgage to afford
- One of the most beautiful bikes I have ever seen, the .1R from Aston Martin
There was also a lot of new tech on display, and some of the craziest innovation I've seen in the bike industry.
