Diann's Repete Verne

One of the most unique Repete that ever left our workshop. An interesting colourway of choice by the charming owner, we caught up with Diann who shared her story on her decisions that led her towards her Repete Verne!

The toptube graphic though simple, yet encapsulates many parts of my life and beliefs in it. Coffee is my line of work and also part of a cyclist’s lifestyle.

Protect your peace - is what helps me to stay true to myself and my beliefs.
And if I can drink my cups of coffee in peace in all my days ahead, life I would say then, is great.

6 - Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Sun . Mountains . Lake . Forest . would be where I would like this bike to bring me all over the World to explore. Nature is the greatest place to heal and recharge!

CPS : Any reason on the choice of components?

Diann : I opted for a mechanical groupset because it was what I was using what I started road riding with before moving on to electronic shifting. I wanted to go back to basics - just like how I feel life should be.

For the cockpit, I went for a timeless look - opting for an all brushed silver seatpost and cockpit. CPS took it a notch further by suggesting the Shimano GRX Limited Edition groupset to complement the look.

The choice of the Ingrid crankset was primary due to a need for a 165mm crankarm length in silver and the default GRX Limited Edition cranks are only available in 170mm unfortunately. A blessing in disguise as the Ingrid has some really nice details!
