Reels of thread are spinning around one another in a miniature maypole dance. Follow the threads along and you see that what’s chugging off the top of the pole, millimetre by millimetre, is one continuous tube of carbon fibre, flattened through a couple of rollers. This is one of the things that makes a Time frame different.

Vivelo ARC RS

I'm looking at Vivelo ARC RS as a possible new race bike, just wondering if anyone has any experience on it? I've read the review on here about it not being as light as described and that's putting me off slightly. However, I love the look of it and that it's different from the standard field of Trek, Giants, and Specialized.

Any thoughts? Thanks!

Mekk use the slogan 'Affordable Performance' to describe their bikes and that's a fair description. The Mekk 3G Potenza SL5.5 is a great looking carbon frame with a tall front end, and will suit those seeking a comfortable bike that is no slouch.

It's not perfect, but it's a great start from a new brand.

Never heard of Mekk? Don't worry, that's because they're the newest bike company on the block and are vying for your attention with seriously well designed and really well specced bikes.
