We are very pleased to announce that our partnership with exclusive Italian bike builder Cipollini continues. Few names in the cycling world are more synonymous with style, flamboyance, class and race pedigree! Our clients loved the BOND, some of them buying their own. How could we resist adding the new generation, 100% Italian made BOND EVO bikes to the PuntoTours stable?
Whether you are seated on the BOND or BOND EVO, all our Cipollini hire bikes are fitted with Shimano Ultegra Di2 electronic shifting and come with compact gearing ideally suited for the European terrain.
Wrench Science were impressed. "This is a bike that strikes the right balance between racing and comfort. With some clever engineering, the frame's top section introduces a suppleness to deflect road vibrations, but takes nothing away from the responsive ride expected of a Cipollini. The super stiff down tube and sturdy chainstays transfer all the pedal power to the road."
We have no doubt you will love your time with an icon of bicycle brands!
BIKE HIRE
If you wish to hire a bike, simply indicate this when booking. In due course we will ask you to complete our detailed BikeFit Form, which can be downloaded from your Member Account. That way we'll ensure that the bike is set up correctly before you come on tour. PuntoTours will service the bike and ensure that it is in optimum riding condition.
We are moving to disc brake bikes, so it will no longer be possible to request preferred side for the front brake. The front brake lever will be on the left.
Please remember to bring your own pedals and shoes, and your saddle if you can only get comfortable on yours!
Hybrid bikes and electric road bikes available on request.
IMPORTANT Note that you will be used to the brake lever operating the front brake on either the left or right hand side of the handle bars. Make sure you indicate your preference on the BikeFit Form.
Your responsibility: The bike is loaned to you in good faith that you will look after it as if it were your own. We ask that you always store the bike sensibly and lock it when unattended (a lock will be supplied). When riding your bike we ask that you don't take any unnecessary risks. We understand that accidents can happen and do not hold you responsible for any loss or damage to the bike, unless we deem that the damage or loss to your hire bike is due to your reckless behaviour.
