Despite the weather doing its best to spoil the party, the rain certainly didn’t dampen the enthusiasm.

This Saturday we were delighted to welcome the Pinarello team to Warwickshire as they officially introduced themselves, and their incredible flagship Dogma F and X road bikes, to local riders through Mike Vaughan Cycles.

Throughout the day, riders had the opportunity to experience both the legendary Dogma F and the all new Dogma X on our local roads. From seasoned racers to weekend riders, everyone came back with the same reaction: these bikes are something special.

A huge thank you to everyone who braved the conditions and joined us. The turnout was fantastic, and despite the wet roads there were plenty of smiles, plenty of conversation, and most importantly plenty of miles ridden on some of the finest road bikes in the world.

One of the things that makes Pinarello different is that their bikes aren’t just machines. They have a way of creating an emotional connection with the rider. We hope many of those who joined us experienced exactly that and came away with a greater appreciation for what makes the brand so iconic.

Mike Vaughan Cycles is proud to be Warwickshire and the Midlands’ home of Pinarello. Whether you’re interested in the race-bred Dogma F, the endurance-focused Dogma X, or simply want to learn more about the brand, we’d be delighted to help.

The demo day may be over, but the Pinarello journey in Warwickshire is only just beginning.

Not every bike has to stay exactly as it left the factory.

This stunning Specialized Turbo Creo 2 Expert Shimano GRX Di2 came supplied with drop handlebars as standard, but our customer wanted the comfort, confidence and practicality of a flat bar setup instead. So that’s exactly what we built.

The result is a seriously capable lightweight carbon e-bike that blends road speed, gravel capability and everyday comfort into one incredibly versatile machine.

Specification highlights:
• FACT 11r carbon frame and fork
• Specialized SL 1.2 motor delivering 50Nm torque
• Lightweight integrated 320Wh battery system
• Shimano GRX Di2 electronic shifting
• Future Shock 3.0 front suspension system
• Roval Terra C carbon wheelset
• Huge tyre clearance for road, gravel and mixed terrain riding
• Custom flat bar cockpit conversion tailored specifically to the rider

This is exactly why independent bike shops still matter.

A big online warehouse sells you a box. A proper bike shop builds a bike around the rider.

We can advise on sizing, comfort, riding position, component choices and completely tailor bikes to suit individual needs rather than simply selling “off the shelf”.

Whether that’s converting drop bar bikes to flat bar setups, adjusting fit for injuries or flexibility, changing gearing, custom builds or helping riders feel more confident on the bike, that personal service still matters.

One rider. One requirement. One custom solution.
