    What is Peter Sagan’s Bike Size 2022?

    Peter has signed a contract to race for two years with Team Total Energies 2022-2023.

    The move from World Tour team Bora-Hansgrohe to the Continental team Total Energies is spectacular in itself for a legend like Peter.

    Marketing heads at Specialized Bicycles understand the influence of Peter Sagan on its brand image. This explains why the American brand followed Peter too. This is a never seen case in Pro Cycling. Normally Riders change teams. Sponsors don’t follow the riders.

    Now that you know why Peter Sagan will still ride a Specialized despite switching team, let’s go down to his bike specifically.

  • DMCX Spartacus: All Roads in Comfort

    26 inches ain’t dead!

    Today I will introduce you to my favorite bike: The Spartacus

    It is a 26 inches “All Roads” Full titanium bike I envisioned first while riding Japan Alpine roads around Takayama (高山市), Gifu Prefecture when living in that area more than 10 years ago.

    I wanted to build a totally versatile bike that is equally at ease on roads and off roads, able to climb up Alpine roads and enjoying the snaking, hair pin cornering exhilarating down hill roads in total comfort.
