Highlights
OPEN WI.DE.
What is it about the last WI.DE. build that fascinates me? It’s clearly the juxtaposition of a modern frame philosophy with the vintage looks of the add-on parts. Get an idea of possible WI.DE. builds and click through the photos.
OPEN MIN.D.
All OPEN frames can be configured to cut a fine figure on the road. If you're looking for a pure road bike setup, the purist MIN.D. is the right choice. Lightweight construction fans and friends of classic bicycle aesthetics alike will get their money's worth here.

More about OPEN
OPEN Cycle is the high-end brand founded in 2012 by two industry experts, Andy Kessler and Gerard Vroomen. Known for developing innovative frame designs, they have provided the template for a modern gravel bike with the Model U.P. For all gravel riders who prefer wider tyres, OPEN offers the WI.DE. frameset. However, the bicycle maker not only brings you sophisticated gravel and road bike frames, but also sets standards in terms of design. This resulted in collaborations with bike-components and Continental, who together created a Limited Anniversary Edition bike to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the tyre manufacturer. Different frames offer you numerous possibilities to build your custom dream bike.
