New carbon bikes into UK

I think Q Factor would be an excellent re-branding name. Kind of X Factor-meets-James Bond.

Prices please. Is it as imported or have you and your overseas partners agonised over every small detail, then just changed the stickers?

Whatever happen to James for Rapah?

I really loved the bit about pushing bikes up hills.

Yes! And they could have an advice section called Q Tips, with things like whether to wax your chain.

Which James?

I'm able to deliver it at roughly twice the price you'll see on the Internet, but keep in mind it has been cut with a secret recipe of laundry detergent and laxative for which I own the patent

I'll dip back in from time to time with updates and clarifications.

Jesus, are you not getting this?

huahuahuahuhuahuahu

What if the update is he's outsourced batch production to rourke and it now comes with billions of zits and a full sram red hydro groupset? And the price has come down to a G?

Take my money

Parkvita!

Which James?

The James, the one who posted video riding through centre London, and made inspiring quotes.

Just spent 15mins reading through this thread to get some context on a meta comment elsewhere on the forum. Totally worth it.

I want to give others the opportunity to experience the full range of elation and pain that I've experienced in my years on the road.

Like facting countless recall/warranty on the £35 ZOOM brakes that you're proud about?

Poor guy is probably too invested to stop by this point...

I guess that's La Vita.

Has the La Vita site been pulled? I could get to a holding page earlier but now there's nothing in the search rankings for it?

Nope; https://lavitavelo.com/password

I didn’t even know about that super limited edition Titanium Ribble bike for under £1.5k!

Do you mean the Ribble CGR AL with 105 hydro for £1399? -- that has an aluminium frame. I can't see anything of theirs with a titanium frame that is cheaper than the CGR Ti - Sport
Shimano 105 at £2299, while the Gravel Ti - Sport GRX 600 is £2599.

Oh wait. Nick is a bot.

Oh wait. Nick is a bot.

Just a human trying to make sense of today's bike market, while doing up my old 531 framed tourer.

[Edit: I just realised you were probably referring to the OP]

Dry run for the AliX algo for sure

hahah yeah it's all about you. Only bots say they're not bots.

It’s a PX London Road Titanium for £1500. In some way a peculiar bike a Gravel Comuter in very stealable titanium. Not sure it’s worth it over the £700 alu one.
