Cold, heat, rain and wind. Ten hours in the saddle. Think about it too hard and you’d never do it. But you do. Repeatedly. And you look forward to it. You’re a Sportivist. Strange, but true.
Form is one thing, but when you’re out there before the sun’s up, function is important too. Sabbath’s Silk Road has already been established as the market leading sportive bike, simply by having both.
Semi compact geometry gives the perfect balance between light weight, stiffness, comfort and the practicality of being able to fit two full size waterbottles, even in an XS frame.
Function. Form. Hours in the saddle, not in the office. Not just a bike, but a whole, blissful, experience. The cold, the heat, the rain and wind. Perfect, no? Read a review

We’re more than happy to build a bike to your exact specification,
using any wheels, forks, bars or whatever
it might be that you specifically want. However, set out
here are our ‘default’ options - based on what we see as good value and complementary to our
frame designs.
