I’m sorry but the store will be closed for a while.
I will be in contact with any customers who have work in with us and all submitted/scheduled works will be completed as agreed.
A longer post this weekend will explain it in a bit more depth but this closure is done under duress and as soon as this beurocratic issue is resolved the shop will reopen bigger and better.

But for now enjoy the sun and stay hydrated and safe.

So last year officially sucked but that is the past and it is a shiny new year.
I want to say a heart felt sorry to any customers that feel they didn’t get the service they deserve or that we want to give them. I will be putting up a more personal post about why but this isn’t that time.
So 2023 is here I have my trusted mechanic and shop manager James back with us and we are cranking out some great work.
The shops changing (it’s always evolving) and the first order of change is our opening hours. We are now open Saturday and Sunday 10-3, as always we are closed Monday and for the rest of the week (Tuesday through to Friday) we are open 10-6.

Stolen from one of my lockups.

The trek and Tifosi pics are stock photos but this is what the bikes do look like.

If any one sees or knows where any of these 3 are please either call the met police reference cad 2383 22/06/22 or me on 07739878219.

The 3 bikes taken are extremely recognisable, the first is a trek project one, Maxine, Spartacus, in full airbrushed livery it is in its full original spec except for supacaz red and white tape and red cages.
The second is a dealer only Tifosi Mons in raw carbon and red campagnolo livery running a full campagnolo super record 12 group set.
Last of all is the shops full custom orange clockwork. This is a one off custom clockwork frame, fully resprayed with period right parts.

All 3 are highly unusual bikes please pass this on and share.

So to the other end of my happy place was today. Now who doesn’t get a smile building peoples dreams.
Full custom build on a S-works Sl7 with sram force axs group set, hunt wheels, c-bear ceramic bottom bracket, s-works finishing kit, Pirelli race tyres, supacaz tape and cages and a few unseen custom touches from yours truely.
Sadly I don’t stock s-works but I’ve built and worked on my fair share and I won’t lie I love them.
This beauty went together like a dream and her new owner was super excited that she stayed and watched the whole build so I’m glad no hammers were needed 😂😂😂

Get in contact with us in the shop no matter what your cycling needs from your little ones first to your dream build. Advice is free and if you want to watch and ask question feel free I may even throw in a coffee or 2.

Definitely one of the best bits of the job is getting kids onto bikes. A super happy customer just had this stunner of a frog dropped of to them for their birthday.

Well that’s the FRM stripped and ready for welding.
That’s a big old crack and it’s definitely “adjusted” the frame geometry.
Also a few of the pivot bolts need some additional persuasion to let go so we will be airing the owner out with a shiny new set of bolts and anti seize 😂😂
But she will be beautiful again

The doors don’t have to be open for us to be working.
This week and next I’m in london studying so the doors aren’t open quite as often as usual but a huge thank you to Stu for keeping us open and holding the fort.
But still we are churning out the work. A pair of custom built ridgebacks are just leaving the workshop this weekend with one sold already. And the more “difficult” end of work is still going out.
The client had snapped his bolt and needed it drilled and tapped again.
