Recently we had the chance to build a truly unique ride. A flat bar road bike that checked all the boxes in terms of style and lightness, while also being able to serve its main function as a townie to cruise around town on. Using an Open MIN.D frameset as the starting point, we were able to put something together that does not disappoint.

A lovely green S-Works Aethos, perfect for long rides and climbing picturesque mountain passes. We had the pleasure of building this one up with a Sram Red AXS groupset, and a robust wheelset ready for the long haul. Not a weight weenie build in the least, but absolutely race ready, weighing in at 6.9kg (15.21 lbs)

With a custom frame from Crumpton Cycles, this sweet road bike frame combines the highest quality carbon fiber and almost two decades of master frame building knowledge and experience from Nick Crumpton.

Built in late Nov, 2022 with Enve's newest aero integrated frameset, the Melee, this road race machine was built for someone who already had a hill climb road bike and wanted something all around fast.
