First TAVELO in the UK? This one rode from the UK to Le Mans...

I'm in the UK on a family holiday. I put a shout out on Instagram to see if anyone in my area (Shropshire - very rural) wanted to go out for a bike ride. I didn't think I'd find anyone, but some nice chap called Harry reached out. Then my surprise when he rolled up on a Tavelo Arow!

Harry turned out to be a great lad, he'd recently done a charity ride on the Arow. (Riding 1000km in 6 days from Bentley motors UK HQ all the way to Le Mans.) Since then he's also ridden it around a few race tracks, etc.

This was shot early on in my trip here, before PT made his video and all the drama that came with that. Me and Harry talked a lot about the bike, he said he had no issues during the build. The only issue his frame had was paint was rubbing off between the headtube and the fork, which I believe Tavelo said was because the first batch of frames were painted at a different factory who did the paint too thick. Will confirm with them when I return to China.

For those feeling generous; link in the description for Harry's charity cause, helping find undiagnosed heart problems in young people. 🙌

Beautiful build, well done. Slammed stem looks legit 💯

Was class riding with you, Joe!! Coffee and Cake went down pretty well too 👌👌

That is one nice looking bike! The PT, Nero cycling, GC performance TAVELO videos are interesting.

Anyone know how to get that frame color? I don’t see it on the tavelo website

[aneczka]

I wish you had asked him some questions about what he thought about the bike.

This colour isn’t on the website, is it custom do you need to email them to able to purchase this colour ?

Hi Joe, sorry this is off topic. I am trying to find replacment set screws for my electronic L-Two shifters. The local bike shop lost them now the brakes pull all the way in but don’t brake. Would you know where I con get replacement set screws? Thanks for any help

Would Tavelo do a clear coat/Laquer finish over bare carbon?
I might consider the frame if this was and option save some. Grams!

You "randomly' found a guy with a new tavelo... hahahaha, but i guess that would be the type of person following you on instagram.

[Fatbutnotflat]

please do a video on the Stijn Peg! I am very interested to know if it's as fast a normal bike.

[PatrickLino]

Can you stare at my back too if we ever meet up?

[Carftymk]

is it okay if i'm more interested in seeing you ride that 5XS bike?

[vietnguyen]

I really like the Tavelo but I would love to have a good look at what you’re riding Joe. LOL.

Peak Torque and Jesse from the Nero Show both had severe quality control issues on their Tavelo frames (especially with the BB). Have these issues been sorted? IMHO a $2820.68 AUD frame to have such severe quality control issues is not acceptable.

Can somebody tell me what that little red bike is?

[sallyviewville]

Which AI tool did you use to remove the wind? - good sir

[yoannvillier]

To Le Mans for the 24h ??!?! I like build bike I live in France !

[kubackjeee]

This setup looks amazing. Actually the first paintjob from all those arows I like. Quite a drop and seat angle. His a big guy, wonder how his shoulders and wrists feels with that setting

[glennoc]

Nice looking bike but after watching peak torques review I'd pass on it.
