From heavy duty dual function SPD pedal to lightweight version in only half an hour

From heavy duty dual function SPD pedal to lightweight version in only half an hour
trimmed versus original version
A little bit of sawing, a bit of sandpapering and in the end a bit of polishing. From 180 to 120 grs. (6 to 4 ounce), but apart from that less bulky. After this session only 10 grammes heavier then the 5 times more expensive titanium version!

Stijn did it again!!

With only an upgraded rear wheel Stijn used his very standard M5 Carbon High Racer to prove that this bike works as well for commuting, shopping, vacation tours as winning world titles on speed championships....

With the highest excuses to his family for being out so many hours on training sessions

But the reults are stunning of course despite the fact that Stijn reaches 41 years of age. No trace of slowing down so far:

-1st place at the 333 meter sprint
-1st place at the kilometer standing start
-1st place at the 3 hours race

The climbing time trial was deleted because of an approaching thunderstorm while riding second place.



 

M5 Minimal Bike winner Bicycle Innovation Award 2017!

April 3rd, 2017To the top

Winners announced today at the annual congress RAI Bicycle Retail Trends in Burgers Zoo, Arnhem.

M5 Minimal Bike winner Bicycle Innovation Award 2017!From the jury:

M5 - Minimal Bike

Minimal Bike M5 is a truly innovative bike design, which was created through a minimalistic and wherever possible integrated approach. This resulted in a totally different and super light (from 6.7 kg with disc brakes!) model. The jury believes that this is shown clearly and reflected in the design of this bike in about every detail. An integrated head tube, the carbon fiber frame, the hidden cables and of course the unique (light) weight. M5 has created a bike that turns heads and which meets a need in urban areas for example.
