GET YOUR FIX
Switch from four wheels to two with one of Bespoked Cycles’ sleek custom-built bikes. Starting with one of four different framesets, Bespoked Cycles rock a huge number of build combos including unlimited colours to choose from. You can design, build and spec your bike from scratch with high quality components. Tailor your bike to fit your own style and aesthetic, add flip-flop hubs so you can switch between fixed and freewheeling options or take your pick from their range of primo prebuilt custom bikes. Cycling fanatic Derek Thorp is the pedalling force behind the new venture, which uses only high-end Factory Five quality components including chainrings, Pista cranksets, carbon-fibre forks, and alloy and steel frames. Shake up your usual commuter routine, take in the city and weave through the bustling city laneways and streets. Or get out there and attack the hills – Derek says it’s that mix of flat urban streets and the Port Hills so close at hand that makes Christchurch such a great cycling city. bespokedcycles.co.nz
