American owned Relax in France : Ryan Jones
Ryan Jones is a student living in Montpellier, France. His ride : custom Focale 44 Relax.
Frame/Fork: Focale 44 Relax, size 52cm
Wheels: Weinmann DP18 track wheelset laced to Formula hubs
Steering: Mavic drops bar
Seating: Seatpost and saddle from a Bianchi Pista
Drivetrain: Sugino XD2 cranks with 42 tooth chainring, Dura-Ace 15-tooth fixed cog, Bianchi Pista pedals.
Brake : Diatech BMX lever, black caliper.
His words on his bike :
"While living in France I wanted a fixed bike made here and this Focale exceeds my expectations. The geometry is a aggressive enough to make it fun and nimble without sacrificing stability, and the CroMo frame is surprisingly light and stiff while retaining enough compliance for comfort. It honestly doesn't feel much different than my cyclocross bike made of Reynolds 853 steel."
