james hayden fairlight strael 18.jpgSee James Hayden's Transcontinental Race-winning bike at Rapha in London's Spitalfields
If you're based in or near London and want to take a close look at the Fairlight Strael that James Hayden rode to victory in the fifth edition of the Transcontinental Race this earlier this month, you're in luck - it wil be on display for an indefinite time at the Rapha Cycle Club in Spitalfields.

If you can't get along in person to the venue, which is at 61-63 Brushfield St, London E1 6AA, you can see all the details of his bike at the link below.
> Transcontinental Race 2017 winner James Hayden’s Fairlight Strael bike
After crossing the Continent in nine days, you'd have thought Hayden would take a break from two-wheeled adventures across Europe - but he's about to set off on another , albeit a non-pedal powered one.
Good to be home. Some r&r. And off to Côte d'Azur on this weapon Saturday. with isabelle too pic.twitter.com/bsxCjJtHn9

At least Hayden still has his bike. A couple of finishers had their ones stolen on the way home, according to posts on the Transcontinental Race's Facebook page.

Except that air mixed with CO is, er, air, since there's no fixed definition of the constituent makeup of air - it's just the mix of gases around us.

Agreed - but with a bit more set-back from roundabout. Also how well respected is this in practice?...

I think they did, from memory back in the 70s/80s... haven't seen one for years though, our current milkman uses a standard van, albeit hybrid.

Still lovely looking bike setup, I guess having it on display in Rapha is super marketing for DomThomas either way, well played.. chapeaux!
Dom from Fairlight here. Just thought i'd clarfiy: Fairlight is Fairlight. Swift is Swift. Yes there are some crossovers in terms of ownership but the two businesses are run and managed seperately. We are a direct to consumer bike brand selling bikes internationally. Swift is a specialist road bike shop in London retailing a range of brands, one of which happens to be Fairlight.
Who were these? Not seen anything online.
It was mentioned in the TCR Facebook group. One in Italy on a train and one in France. Both Ti frames I think.
I would have thought Swift Cycles would want this on display in their shop too being their own brand bike and they are only a short ride from Rapha in Spitafields too.
Fairlight is not Swift's own brand. Fairlight is Fairlight. Swift just happen to be the only bike shop that ranges them
Owner of Swift is co-owner of Fairlight, so to all intents and purposes not far from being an "official" shop brand.
