You may not have heard of Rose, and to be honest we didn’t know much about them till recently, but they are a German mail-order behemoth. They have a 6000m square shop called Bike Town and a catalogue that is 926 pages long. As well as selling everything you could possibly ever need ever for anything cycling related they also do a range of bikes.
Andy and Fin from Rose UK popped round with cakes. The bilberry tarts were particularly popular and there was much discussion over sad cakes, are they the same as Welsh cakes? Once cake discussion had died down Andy and Fin remembered that they had some bikes to show us…

Not Finnish then? I very much like ze internal routing.
they look good dont they? i like the janitor, just looks fast! remind me a bit of the gf roscoe in shape but not susp design. does the bruce have a mech hanger too? if so, wicked design!
Wow, they look great..
nice….
this is odd, i go the rose 2010 catalogue from my visiting uncle, who, knowing of my interest in bicycles, brought it over for me… their carbon hardtail comes in at 7.4kg i think… very nice bikes.
Slowrider, yup mech hanger on The Bruce.
das ist der hammer! But do they employ some complete mentalist locked up in a shed to come up with the names?
bling grips…
Is that Fin of MBUK Van fame?
It is the very same ex-MBUK Fin.
Janitor – cuz it cleans up the competition?
“Granite chief”? I LOL-ed.
i hope you didn’t mention that thing you’re not meant to mention 🙂
They look excellent.
Oh man… the Uncle Jimbo looks magnificent – and very well priced too. Damn you Singletrack, I thought I had a handle on what bike to get next before I read this!
so is the fact that fin is ex mbuk and he is famous for something to do with their van related?
Er, how much?
“there was much discussion over sad cakes”
Did you want to cheer them up?
Can I buy those grips from The Bruce separately the wife would love some for her bike.
Just had a look at the Rose online catalogue many lol worthy germanic non ironic poses in there
