Once you get used to the omnium cargo (which doesn’t take long) you wonder how you ever got along without it. Amazing bikes, love mine to bits.

Just got my new wifi yesterday in the Diablo red colourway, rides like a dream.

Fantastic, thanks!

The pop up handlebars for steering that’s available on bullitts sounds amazing though, great feature. Omnium should also incorporate that on future models.

I mean you’re not able to go full tilt but they are fine to transport stuff like this from a to b. The new wifi versions come with 55mm tires and thru axles too and are super stable and faster when loaded and over cobbles etc

@VeloSurMer that does look like a genius bullitt solution to the front end blockage.

Here’s another pic of a stacked omnium:)

Lovely scatto!

Could be close to the supposed "max" but not sure. This is an old loaner bike from my work and we take crazy large loads regularly with these bikes, and the loading area/frame is fine. Both the omniums and bullitts can take massive cargo loads.

Definitely not.

5 moving boxes easy. Could have taken more, love this bike.

hi @pollofritto are you still looking? I may have what you are looking for.

The Riddlers are literally made of actual shit.

Congrats on the Arkose man, out of curiosity how tall are you?

I use this as well, dirt cheap and works a treat.

I’m also 5’9” and ride an Arkose medium. Stock short stem and setup also road bike style with a low front end (saddle is also cranked forward). Think I’m almost between sizes and I sometimes reckon I could have gone with a Small as it is a long bike, but in the end I do definitely think M is more my actual size. I’m don’t feel too stretched out on it at all.

Damn that’s lovely. Congrats to the new owner. What was the size?

Congrats @BernardRenault

Strange. I ordered a 2018 Arkose to Denmark from the Evans site 2 years ago with no issues

@BernardRenault yeah fantastic bike, looks killer!

It looks like the identical frameset as mine: Columbus SLX, exact same pantos, and almost same chroming. Just a different paintjob & decals (mine are non original). From what I’ve learned it’s a Somec Air from around 86’, but let me know if you know any different :)

@BernardRenault looks amazing, congrats. Post more pics when you can, looks like the same fork as mine - such a beaut!

Bars now fixed and feel wayyyy better, both when riding the tops (funnily enough) but also when hands are in the drops. Cheers guys (admittedly an idiot mistake on my part)../

Amazing, Somec twins. Yep almost the same bike, slightly different fork but yeah the rest very similar.

@Lolo thanks that looks great. Compact flat-tops might be the one to try next

Both those models look great, very similar to the one I’ve been using, which is the M177 I think. Fantastic bars, I guess only slight differences between the three

Fantastic, thanks.

Edit: these bars are a bit tricky to fit as they don’t have much curl(?). My other bike has Nitto Noodle bars which are imo much nicer, almost a half circle shape. Might switch to those for more comfort for riding the tops

Ha thanks. I’ll bite - saddle is comfortable for me this angle so that’s staying , bars? Do tell. And shifters? Please elaborate.

This is a bike for riding not just for show so it’s got to feel comfortable for my riding and body type etc

It’s Somec weather...

The fork definitely looks non-original.
I’d be wary.
