TRADITIONAL CLASS, VERSATILITY
& PERFORMANCE
The CGR 725 is a hugely capable multi-terrain gravel bike. Designed around the elegant, ride smoothing, and infinitely rugged Reynolds 725 steel frameset is a package that offers incredible versatility. The Sport Edition features the smooth shifts and outstanding durability of Shimano’s Tiagra 10 speed groupset with the additional braking confidence of mechanical disc brakes and a set of Mavic Aksium wheels shod with Schwalbe Marathon tyres for impressive year-round traction and reliability across variable surfaces.
With a generous tyre clearance, and the additional versatility of compatibility with mudguard and a rear pannier rack the CGR 725 excels as an all-terrain commuter, light tourer or gravel crusher.
GROUPSET
Shimano’s Tiagra 2×10 speed sets the benchmark when it comes to value, performance and durability. Featuring technology trickled down from its top-tier siblings, Tiagra provides the same peerless, hassle-free shifting performance that has made Shimano the ‘go to’ choice for commuters and leisure riders alike. The superior stopping power of mechanical disc brakes provides total braking confidence.
WHEELSET
Mavic’s highly-durable Aksium wheelset makes them a surefire choice for both on-road and off-road riding with sealed cartridge bearings ensuring superb reliability throughout the seasons. Schwalbe Marathon tyres are the final word when it comes to puncture protection and traction in mixed conditions and feature a reflective strip for added safety in low-light conditions

Sport is a form of physical activity or game. Often competitive and organized, sports use, maintain, or improve physical ability and skills. They also provide enjoyment to participants and, in some cases, entertainment to spectators. Many sports exist, with different participant numbers, some are done by a single person with others being done by hundreds. Most sports take place either in teams or competing as individuals. Some sports allow a "tie" or "draw", in which there is no single winner; others provide tie-breaking methods to ensure one winner. A number of contests may be arranged in a tournament format, producing a champion. Many sports leagues make an annual champion by arranging games in a regular sports season, followed in some cases by playoffs.
Sport is generally recognised as system of activities based in physical athleticism or physical dexterity, with major competitions admitting only sports meeting this definition. Some organisations, such as the Council of Europe, preclude activities without any physical element from classification as sports. However, a number of competitive, but non-physical, activities claim recognition as mind sports. The International Olympic Committee who oversee the Olympic Games recognises both chess and bridge as sports. SportAccord, the international sports federation association, recognises five non-physical sports: chess, bridge, draughts, Go and xiangqi. However, they limit the number of mind games which can be admitted as sports. Sport is usually governed by a set of rules or customs, which serve to ensure fair competition. Winning can be determined by physical events such as scoring goals or crossing a line first. It can also be determined by judges who are scoring elements of the sporting performance, including objective or subjective measures such as technical performance or artistic impression.
Records of performance are often kept, and for popular sports, this information may be widely announced or reported in sport news. Sport is also a major source of entertainment for non-participants, with spectator sport drawing large crowds to sport venues, and reaching wider audiences through broadcasting. Sport betting is in some cases severely regulated, and in others integral to the sport.
According to A.T. Kearney, a consultancy, the global sporting industry is worth up to $620 billion as of 2013. The world's most accessible and practised sport is running, while association football is the most popular spectator sport.

I can’t fault the bike at the moment, haven’t been on a big ride yet as the snows coming down in Bristol. The bike is a nice mix of the classic and modern. Can’t wait to burn up the miles.
