Meet The Team
Richard
Currently riding: The Trek Domane SLR7 for long days on the road and the Enigma Escape for just getting lost.
And there's more: As a small child in his native Kansas, Richard’s three favourite things were singing on stage, riding his bike and playing tennis. Fast forward a few decades, three kids and a hip replacement later and he’s built a life around doing all three.
Tom
Currently riding: A lovely FiftyOne Sika custom build equipped with 1x13 Sram AXS. Pwoooah, it really is some machine.
Tom is however mostly seen zipping around Richmond on his bright yellow Brompton.
And there's more: Tom started his endurance sport journey as a rower and after falling in love with riding later transitioned across to triathlon. Tom is not only handy on two wheels, but also on two feet! He regularly knocks out some big running miles and has completed multiple Ultra Marathons, recently placing 5th in the Gower 50km!
Anthony
Currently riding: A rather stunning ENVE Melee decked out with top end parts in the summer months or either a custom Trek Emonda ALR or Trek Checkpoint SL6 when the going is a bit muckier.
And there's more: We’ve been told that once upon a time, Anthony worked as a business analyst. Now happily freed from the tyranny of spreadsheets, he’s a Cytech Level 2 expert and is happiest when he has a spanner in one hand and (more importantly) a good cup of coffee in the other. He’s also a stalwart of St Margaret’s Cycling Club.
Phil
Currently riding: Rides a Trek Checkpoint SL6 most days – with a camera tucked in the back. A rather tasty full custom Enigma Excel is kept for the sunny days on the road.
And there's more: Phil is also a professional photographer, with his handiwork making up a lot of the wonderful images you'll find across our website!
Arthur
Currently riding: An Emonda SLR9 in full race spec for the days pinning a number on. When not seen flying around the local race circuits, a full custom geometry Enigma touring bike caters for the adventures. The template is the Esprit but what he has is one of a kind.
And there's more: A multiple Haute Route rider and support mechanic, Arthur loves the challenge of a perplexing mechanical conundrum and refuses to stop until a bike is purring. You’ll be amazed to see what he can do when you give him some good coffee, a couple of Clif bars and some jazz.
Anthony P
Currently riding: corrr...Anthony has gone all in, building up a custom Enigma Escape and trying out a new kind of riding after years as a roadie.
And there's more: Despite the love for his Brompton, the draw of the hills is strong and Anthony's road bikes are never neglected. You may also occasionally see him reliving his misspent youth with a Fender Stratocaster round his neck... a copy of a 1979 single from his band’s only release recently sold for £498!
