The first telephone interview with Quentin has just ended, and I already know that this project is going to be special. Quentin has very specific ideas about the functional specifications of his future bike. First, it will accompany him on his daily commuting ; he rides a lot and wants to enjoy it; then, in more long term perspective, it will take him on a European tour. Quentin likes to spend time looking after his bikes, understanding their components and optimizing their operation. For this project, he was looking for a transmission that would require no daily maintenance. We decided on the Effigear gearbox, the French equivalent of the Pinion gearbox, which meets the same standards for its interface with the frame. Quentin also wanted the bike to be able to be fitted with a conventional transmission. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Then he gave me carte blanche to design the project around it. From the geometry, to the lines of the bike, and for the full set of custom racks, it was absolutely delightful to think and crafting this Manivelle, which we proudly presented at Bespoked 2025 and which caught much attention (see The Radavist article<\/a> and Brooks interview<\/a>). <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

At the beginning of November, just under a year after we started talking, we meet at the workshop for delivery. The adrenalin is high as we unveil Quentin's Manivelle. Lovely words come out quickly, and we're all eager to get on with the first ride. His first impressions of the bike's behavior are excellent, and he's like a kid to test its reactivity or its handling at low speeds (we can see his mtb roots there). This first impression will be confirmed later on. <\/p>\n

I'm really very, very, very pleasantly surprised by the bike's dynamic qualities: it's ultra-pleasant to ride! It's lively and stable at the same time, and its weight really makes you forget about it! You'll even find yourself dancing on the saddle as it responds so well! You can feel that the frame is rigid, without feeling like a piece of wood. And it looks great too! The orange of the racks stands out well when night falls. I'm really pleased with the geometry too! I really sit on my pins at the back of the saddle rather than on my perineum at the front, and that's great! <\/div>\n
As for the gear box, we're waiting for a full-length test to share its opinion with you.<\/div>\n
In the meantime, we'd like to wish you all the best for the future in the company of your N\u00b065, and an infinite thank you for your complete trust Quentin!<\/div>\n
