I was taken aback by the amount of customisation available with @handslingbikes . My journey started like many others eyeing those big brands but after spending a morning with Handsling going through my rider specifications and taking a Handsling for a spin there was no turning back. I’ve chosen a Shimano Ultegra Di2 12 speed groupset with Parcours Strada wheels on a custom painted Super Blue A1R0evo frameset.

Having never owned new road bik before when I did decide the time was right I wanted it built for me not just what was available in the shop at that time I did my research to find out who could offer me this and hansing were the obvious
Choice from my initial brows of the website and then a phone call with peep I was confident that I was dealing with the right company one which cared about what the rider was looking for for me I wanted my bike to be comtable for endurance rides and fast at local time
Trials the AO Evo road bike is the right choice for this Pete is trained in bike fitting so you can be sure that the setup suits you and your riding style you could just send your measurements in over the website and they will build the bike to that size but visiting the workshop
Along with your current bike allows them to build your perfect bike with confidence hansing bikes have already been tested to the max they are UCI accredited in all disciplines track road gravel and cyc cross but when meeting Simon the owner you understand more of what the testing is about the AO Evo is
Designed to take a maximum of 32 mm tires so Simon is riding it off-road with 33 mm gravel tires this is the punishment he likes to push the product to Simon has done this kind of thing all of the way through the process pushing the designs to the Limit the frames are
Unique to handling it’s their design their mold all is designed in the UK the Finish to the raw carbon isn’t just an external thing of how it looks the Finish is high quality inside the frame as well the gauge of carbon in key areas is stronger to cope with the forces
Applied so it’s a heavier gauge around the bottom bracket chain stays and around the rotor side of the forks customization isn’t just about choosing a group set wheels and finishing kit although there is a full range to choose from hansing make no insistence that you use the products
They are offering they are just there as as a guide if you want to have different elements that’s fine by then so you’ve chosen the spec of your new bike you know how it’s going to be kitted out so what’s next color it isn’t as simple as a three-color choice for this season
It’s like being in a car showroom the number of colors that are available and if that isn’t enough you can even add custom touches that make the bike completely unique to you the paintwork is done in house adding to the quality control of what they
Do when it comes to the bike fit there needs to be a comparison to your current setup as well as what’s the most efficient position to achieve the biggest Advantage from it’s okay being completely arrow and ending up being a big change to your current setup but if
The changes are too radical then you might find you aren’t as comfortable on your new bike as you could be and that’s not what they’re trying to achieve for you by looking at both your current setup and measurements then a median point is where it’s at the final point
Of the comparison between new setup and current bike is to road test one of their test bikes by visiting the workshop all of this can be achieved when you are considering that forever bike I’m confident that this is the way to do it rather than taking something off the shelf and
Making it fit to your needs a British option for a new bike built around the rider it’s perhaps a longer process than the off-the-shelf options but you can be sure that the bike is built to a very high quality and by people that care about what they are doing now for me the
Hard bit waiting for my next visit to the workshop to CL my new bike watch this space
