"Chapter 2 Toa"
I purchased a Chapter 2 Toa - here's my experience from purchase to riding : When I decided to purchase The Toa I had no idea what to expect from the company ? would the product be good ? would the customer support be there ?. Well I can confirm that it is ! from the initial conversations with Mark in the UK on sizing to component choices, right up to direct communication with the owner Mike, everything was superb which made buying this bike that little bit special. Even after receiving the frame which was damaged in transit by DHL the pair of them worked hard to ensure I had a replacement and that I was happy, which they should be congratulated on. Its customer service done the right way so kudos to you gentlemen !!.
Now on to the frameset itself :
When I received the frameset I was initially blown away by how beautiful the paint was (i have the aqua blue toa) and i was keen to see it built up. I used a trusted bike shop near me veloatelier to build the bike and they commented on the quality of the frames construction and internal cable routing which in their minds was done right. After collecting the bike the next step was to ride it ? I had come from a pure aero race bike so was keen to see if the Toa had the legs to be fast - Wow was I happy it was every bit as quick as my aero bike. Now I know that a bike is only as fast as the person on it but what really impressed me was when I attended my local clubs Tuesday night bash for the first time. Once you push the Toa hard it really shows its capabilities, it corners like its on rails and inspires confidence to keep putting more power through the pedals, but also supplies a level of ride comfort which made my aero bike seem harsh. I can honestly say that I am blown away by the bike, not only does it look a million dollars it also performs in every department. I would definitely recommend this bike 100% and also the company as I cannot fault anything - Well done Chapter 2 for producing a great product.

"I'm gonna buy TERE"
Unfortunately currently I don't own any Chapter2 bike.
I'm considering to buy a new bike then I tried TERE. It was fantastic and it is the best bike I've ever tried.
Around BB is stiff enough and no energy loss, but seat stay is really soft then no vibration to my butt. Then it was really good at high speed cruising.
There is one thing I wanna complain is there is no red frame.
I've been waiting for a red TERE for some years.

"I first saw a C2 in my local peloton"
I first saw a C2 in my local peloton. That’s where my journey began. Upon a thorough search of the road frame sets I decided the Toa was what I was looking for in my next build. The purchase was straightforward and smooth. The delivery and packaging was impressive to say the least. It’s been about 10 months of great rides and loving every mile on my Toa Moana😎

"Chapter 2 TOA - a review after 1 year of riding."
Chapter 2 has been a phenomenal company that has sponsored our cycling team, Cardinal Classic Cycling. I have now been riding my Chapter 2 TOA for 1 year and have nothing but good things to say. It's incredibly fast, responsive, and climbs well, truly an all around race bike. I've raced it in crits, time trials, and road races both flat and mountainous, and I've always felt confident and comfortable on the bike. I love the Mana bars not only because it looks so sick, but because it does give you an aerodynamic advantage, and at the pro level, every aero gain matters. I've ridden other bikes in the past that need every bearing regreased, screw tightened, and movement of parts fixed at the end of every race season. I took my C2 in for this routine overhaul at the end of last race season and there wasn't near the wear on everything like my other bikes because the bike is just honestly built superior to other brands. 100% recommend and looking forward to continue riding this machine!

"I was looking for a new bike while…recovering from illness."
I was looking for something different as I had had a couple of the more well known brands when I came across an image of the RERE - awesome colour with the subtle New Zealand traditional markings.
Mike advised me of correct sizing and when the frame set arrived in that special packaging I knew it was something special.
Three years on I haven’t been able to ride it as much as I would like, but during the time I can it’s a dream - when I can’t ride it’s a great piece in the man cave.
Top job Mike 🙏

"The Chapter2 Tere Experience"
I ride a Chapter2 Tere and it's a very dynamic and responsive frame. It allows you to build speed on flats and dances well when you need to pedal up on an incline even as a beginner. Very satisfied for choosing this frame.

"Incredible Bikes and Service"
When I was looking for a new road bike, I wanted something that was aero, stiff, light and comfortable. I came across Chapter2 Rere through a couple of highly flattering reviews on well known cycling websites. I purchased the Rere I wanted in the color I wanted (gloss black) with the help of Chapter2 founder, Michael Pryde, who happened to be manning the help desk that day. The bike has been everything I wanted and more. I’ve been road racing for over 25 years and my Rere is the fastest and stiffest road bike I have owned. Despite its advanced design and aero features, it is incredibly easy to maintain and service. In terms of aesthetics and performance it easily matches framesets costing twice as much. As important as the bike itself, Chapter2 customer service and support is second to none.

"C2 Koko...the best"
C2 Koko...after 1 year, simply the best frameset I had. Because of my job, I could ride & test many and no discussion. Ridiculously comfortable for an aero frameset. Unique brand, unique paint, and cool background.

"First off the bike is great"
First off the bike is great. Got a Koko a few months back and have been loving it ever since. What's more of the customer service has been top-notch. Mike Pryde obviously takes pride in his work because he's the one answering the emails and providing direct customer responses. It made the online buying experience extremely confidence inspiring. He even took the time to follow up a month later to check in on the build. I've been recommending Chapter2 bikes to anybody who will listen.

"Quality bike"
Excellent bike! The AO is very comfortable and provide a very smooth ride on the road. It is a very fast, capable and comfortable bike that excels in both road and gravel terrain. GRX Di2 build was relatively easy with minimal problems. Finally, the paint job on the bike was impeccable! This bike turned so many heads when I ride it on the road.
