New bike bought, sort of

[rivers]

I test rode a new bike at the weekend and put a deposit down to hold it until my insurance check comes in. I went with a Sublime Zoku in the end. Sublime is a custom make company local to the Bristol area, and they had a Zoku that someone had custom built, and decided they didn't want in my size, at a reduced price. Carbon, full 105 groupset, RS10 wheels, and vittoria tyres. I'll be swapping out the tyres to something a bit better (conti gp4000s ii or gatorskins most likely).

Here is a photo:

Nice looking bike.

Yeah, unusual paint job and internal cable routing.

Well done for buying something a bit different and supporting a local business.

And top work for test riding, and not simply dropping your wedge on the basis of a spec list. If that rides half as good as it looks you're sorted.

Wow, love it - and you won't see another ever (unless I get one and move to Bristol)

Very nice bike. Did you get a decent price?

Only thing I would change is the bar tape. Way too thin for me.

All of the bikes have custom paint jobs

It is a cracking bike. It was reduced to £1095 from £1600, including shimano A-530 pedals, so a very reasonable price. The ride is fantastic and it's bloody quick compared to my specialized entry level aluminium bike (which will become the poor weather/touring/day out with the wife ride).

Lovely bike. An excellent find, so well done

Nice wheels

I never thought I'd say this about a red and green colour scheme, but that looks the business. Good choice.

Great looking machine and a steal at the price.
