In 2021, ENVE debuted their Custom Road frame project (something currently only available in the US) and promised that the in-house fabricated, full-custom road bike was not a one-hit wonder, rather the beginning of a new chapter for ENVE as a frame and complete bicycle manufacturer. Enter the Melee. Mind prepped, body ready, equipment on point. The rest is out of your hands. When the gun goes off, a melee ensues.Enve Enve’s involvement in frame…

On the 13th July 2021, 700 turned 10 years old.

It very seldom is the same old route that you rehash chasing down your 400th Strava trophy. It very often is not even a race itself. It is marked by a feeling that, no matter how tired you are, there is nowhere else you would rather be than on your bicycle, on that road, at that very point in time.
