About

The Pavé took its name from the cobbled sectors of the northern spring classics, and was built with a more forgiving position than an out and out race bike.

The Pavé is born from the gruelling spring races over closely set cobbled (pavé) sections of Northern Europe. It's been designed for those who want a high quality custom built road bike at a competitive price. The frame is lightweight, strong and offers a more comfortable riding position than an out and out race geometry. This means that it coasts smoothly over the most punishing of surfaces and longer distances.
