"I wanted a bike that was fast, comfortable, and most of all enjoyable to do more challenging rides throughout the year. Having just ridden the Strade Bianche Gran Fondo and Duchenne Dash to Paris (and back), the Forge has already proven highly accommodating, it's a true do it all machine. The fit is comfy and also allows me to stay on the drops for longer than ever before. Regarding speed, the bike feels light and agile, when I push harder it's thrilling, I'm going faster on my usual Strava segments and it's like a secret weapon on group rides. Comfort is great too, the carbon frame seems to reduce road vibrations and on longer rides I don't feel so sapped, which is a boon!  The Pirellis strike a nice balance between performance and comfort and handle most (terrible) Surrey road conditions while still feeling fast. It's a step up from my titanium road bike, I'd genuinely recommend it to anyone looking to improve their performance while still wanting to enjoy every mile on the road 👍." Rich Clarke
