This is the Museeuw Bikes MC-6 Athena Carbon 11 from Museeuw Bicycles. It’s the company’s entry level road machine and costs £2799,99 via wiggle in the UK.

It’s got a monocoque carbon frame with oversized tubing, and uses flax carbon in the rear stays and forks for shock absorption. An oversized BB30 bottom bracket is also used to stiffen up the ride.

Campagnolo’s Athena Carbon 11 speed groupset takes care of shifting, while the Campagnolo Scirocco wheels roll with Vredestein Flammante DuoComp tyres.

Internal cable routing provides a neat finish, and the Museeuw own-brand seatpost, FSA OS150 stem and compact bars add the finishing touches.

Look out for a full review of the Museeuw Bikes MC-6 Athena Carbon 11 in an upcoming issue of Cycling Plus. In the meantime, check out the rest of the images.
