Dutch DJ and Fat Cat Cycling Club member Gilliam Aerts is the proud owner of this custom-painted limited edition Rove Ld. The bike is one of four bikes that were painted in collaboration with the FCCC. The result is damn cool, especially with Gilliam's liberal application of stickers.
"I'm madly in love with this one. My Rove takes me from my DJ gig up for a long climb, and with a fast descent back to my favorite bar. With the basket up front, this is the bike I use for everything and anything. From city streets to mountain peaks, she’s got me covered."
The drivetrain is Shimano GRX, but Gilliam ha swapped out the brakes for MT200's and a Derore shifter.
Stickers for days!
Gilliam won't tell us what the rims are, but the hubs are Erase V2 hubs.
Up in the cockpit, you'll find a Cinelli Double Trouble handlebar with a set of ODI Long Neck grips. The basket is from Pelago and is the Rasket.
The Brooks C17 looks after Gilliam's derriere.
And the bike rolls on Pirelli Cinturato Gravel M tires front and rear.
