Recognised by the Guinness Book of Records as the oldest bike shop in the world, Pearson Cycles can trace its history back more than 150 years. The unusually-named Objects in Motion is the company's third titanium offering, following on from the equally memorable Just Killing Time, and adding discs to the package.
Customer-focused geometry
The OiM is billed as a 'race-like' machine, but one that offers a less head-down position than a pure competition mount by virtue of a taller head tube – 155mm in the case of our small test bike. Otherwise it's a pure road bike, with a racy 73.5 degree head angle across all sizes and a back wheel that's snugged right up against the seat tube for a tight wheelbase. (About 97cm on the small.)
Pearson places a lot of emphasis on fit, saying that its geometry best reflects the needs of its customers, and that the way it varies across the sizes means virtually all riders are catered for without the need for actual custom frames.

Clearances are quite tight
Our test bike sported a rather swanky build based around Shimano hydraulic brakes and Ultegra Di2 shifting kit, along with Reynolds Assault carbon clinchers. At just shy of £5,000 ($7,644 / AU$10,622 at time of writing – Pearson will ship internationally), it's not for the faint of wallet, but Pearson will build any spec you like, with a frame costing £2,000.
