Il y a des remises de vĂ©lo qui ont une saveur particuliĂšre. đŸ€đŸšČ

Samedi, j’ai eu le plaisir d’accueillir Ă  l’atelier pour lui remettre son nouveau vĂ©lo : un Zafi Roots en noyer noir.

Pendant quatre ans Ă  la tĂȘte du ministĂšre fĂ©dĂ©ral de la , il a dĂ©fendu une vision oĂč le vĂ©lo occupe une place centrale dans nos dĂ©placements. Le voir repartir sur un de nos vĂ©los gravels a donc quelque chose de particuliĂšrement symbolique. 🇧đŸ‡ȘđŸŒ±

Parce qu’au-delĂ  des politiques publiques, le changement se construit aussi Ă  travers des choix personnel! Choisir le vĂ©lo, c’est adopter une autre façon de vivre ses dĂ©placements.
Ce nouveau vĂ©lo sera une source de libertĂ©, de dĂ©couverte et de plaisir. Un moyen de ralentir, de prendre le temps et de renouer avec les paysages qui nous entourent.🌳

Merci Georges pour votre confiance et pour ce beau moment d’échange.

Ce sont ces rencontres qui me rappellent pourquoi j’ai créé Zafi : fabriquer, localement, des vĂ©los qui donnent envie de pĂ©daler davantage et de contribuer, chacun Ă  notre Ă©chelle, Ă  une mobilitĂ© plus durable. đŸ€đŸšČ

There’s something special about a bike designed to match your lifestyle, not just turn heads.
It’s not about creating something flashy, it’s about building something meaningful, something you truly enjoy using. 🚮✹

Nicolas’ Warthog 🐗

With plenty of experience in the cycling world, Nicolas came to us with a clear vision:
a bike built around simplicity, reliability, and lasting comfort.

Designed for long training rides and triathlon preparation, every detail of this build serves one purpose ; to enjoy the ride, mile after mile, in a perfectly balanced position.

What truly sets this bike apart lies in its story. ✍
Custom oak inserts frame the logo, while his signature warthogs appear on the head tube and top tube ( a nod to his nickname) . The wood itself carries a deeper meaning: Nicolas brought it to us, reclaimed from a century-old beam of a place filled with great memories.

A subtle, personal touch 
 and a reminder of those moments when the road gets tough.

Build highlights:
– Service Course cockpit & seatpost
– 1800 wheels
– Pro One 28 tires
– 105 mechanical 11-speed
– Novus Boost Evo saddle

Enjoy the ride, ✹

A bike like no other 👀🚮

Crafted from ash with a walnut core, this frame was designed to the finest details alongside its proud owner . A subtle olive wood inlay runs along the side
 a personal touch, brought back directly from Crete. đŸ«’ ☀

This is more than a bike.
It’s a cult object.
A one-of-a-kind creation.

Le vĂ©lo de Dimitri [🇬🇧below👇]

Pour sa grande traversĂ©e de l’Europe, Dimitri voulait un vĂ©lo fiable, polyvalent et porteur de sens. Il tenait aussi Ă  rouler sur une machine fabriquĂ©e proche de chez lui ... pari rĂ©ussi puisque l'atelier ne se situe qu'Ă  15 km de son domicile .

Il passera des mois Ă  arpenter routes secondaires et sentiers europĂ©ens : le choix du Gravel s’est donc imposĂ© naturellement.

CĂŽtĂ© montage, nous avons privilĂ©giĂ© la robustesse et l’efficacitĂ© :
‱ Transmission GRX 1x12 (820) pour la simplicitĂ© et la fiabilitĂ©
‱ Roues Swiss G1800, solides et prĂȘtes Ă  encaisser les kilomĂštres
‱ Pneus GravelKing X1 700x35c, rapides et accrocheurs
‱ Selle C17 Carved pour le confort longue distance
‱ Guidoline Brooks Microfiber
‱ Cintre Ergomax, pour une position stable et confortable

Le vĂ©lo sera complĂ©tĂ© par un montage en bikepacking : sacs de cadre, de selle et de cibtre pour l’autonomie nĂ©cessaire Ă  cette aventure.

Un projet plein de sens:

Dimitri, pĂ©diatre spĂ©cialisĂ© dans les maladies infectieuses, a pris une annĂ©e sabbatique pour concrĂ©tiser un projet qui lui tient profondĂ©ment Ă  cƓur.

Fin mars 2026, il rejoindra Thessalonique (Grùce) en train, puis traversera l’Europe du sud au nord jusqu’à Stockholm avec son Zafi.

Dans chaque pays traversĂ©, il donnera trois confĂ©rences adaptĂ©es Ă  trois publics professionnels — agriculteurs, vĂ©tĂ©rinaires et mĂ©decins gĂ©nĂ©ralistes — afin de sensibiliser Ă  la problĂ©matique de la rĂ©sistance aux antibiotiques et Ă  leur bon usage.

L’objectif final : rĂ©unir 100 000 € pour financer et implanter un laboratoire de microbiologie Ă  Mbujimayi (KasaĂŻ oriental, RDC).

[🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧]

For his European crossing, Dimitri was looking for a bike that could truly support the journey ahead. He also cared deeply about riding a bike built less than 15 km from his home — a conscious choice that adds meaning to every kilometer he’ll ride.

He’ll be spending months exploring secondary roads and trails across Europe, which made a gravel bike the natural choice.

For this build, we focused on reliability and long-distance comfort:
‱ GRX 1x12 (820) drivetrain for simplicity and dependable performance
‱ DT Swiss G1800 wheels, strong and ready for heavy mileage
‱ Panaracer GravelKing X1 700x35c tires, balancing speed and grip
‱ Brooks C17 Carved saddle for lasting comfort
‱ Brooks Microfiber bar tape
‱ Ritchey Ergomax handlebar for a stable, ergonomic position

The bike will be completed with a full bikepacking setup — frame, saddle, and cockpit bags — giving him the autonomy needed for such a long adventure.

A project with purpose.

Dimitri, a pediatrician specialized in infectious diseases, has taken a sabbatical year to dedicate himself to a project that truly matters to him.

At the end of March 2026, he will travel by train to Thessaloniki (Greece) and then ride from southern Europe all the way to Stockholm with his Zafi.

In every country he crosses, he will give three talks tailored to three professional audiences — farmers, veterinarians, and general practitioners — raising awareness about antimicrobial resistance and the responsible use of antibiotics.

The ultimate goal: to raise €100,000 to fund and implement a microbiology laboratory in Mbujimayi (Eastern Kasai, DRC).
