Slapping Turns on the Identiti Mettle
A NORMAL GUY WITH BIG IDEAS
Oli Carter

Roostin' abord the new Identiti Mettle.


As the saying goes if you want something doing right, do it yourself. That’s exactly what Oli Carter has done this winter, setting up a new team on a new bike with some grand ideas.

bigquotesSometimes you need to take a step back and re-think why we do things. I ride my bike every day because I love it and I have been lucky enough to ride and race all over the world. Now that I’m based back in the UK with a young family, a growing business and a mortgage you would think all of that would be over but fate have dealt me a different hand and for this year. I have the support from the best local companies around, they believe in me and my crazy ideas and are letting a young(ish) man live his dream&hellips;—Oli Carter

bigquotesI can’t thank Southern Enduro, Identiti bikes, USE, Exposure lights, 661 and of course my amazing wife enough for their support, it really is going to be a blast this year. See you trail side!

 They need to sort out the picture of the Mettle on the Identiti website though. Saggy chain and extra long spaghetti cables.... Perhaps why they were slapping' turns.

 We're just waiting for production frames to arrive with us to we can take some new pictures. The photos for the website were taken in a hurry so that we could get them up to show on the site quickly. In hindsight we rushed getting them built up, but this was about 24 hours before they were due to be on display at the NEC Cycleshow in September. We also currently only have 4 bikes total at the moment and they're all out being ridden! We're a small company so please forgive us.

 In that case I'm sure we can let you off. It's otherwise a mean looking machine!

 Ely. Home of identiti. Flattest part of the UK. Sounds bonkers. But having grown up there, coming from a flat place really gives you an appreciation of what big hills can really do!
