Some time to have this finished, a really special build for me as it’s for Sarah. The brief was simple, just more comfort. It has to be steel then, fatigue reduction and a taller front end were the primary concerns. Lots of options out there but a prime opportunity to build something from Surly Bikes UK Sarah still wanted it to ride like a road bike but with all day comfort in mind. So, we’re here Midnight Special in Black Cherry Fizz. The colour is awesome.
Brief spec, we already had a lot of the parts from stripping a bike. Drivetrain is Shimano 105 R7000, lower gearing now with 11-34 cassette, KMC Chain Europe chain in Aurora finish 😍, a dash of Hope Technology and Wheels Manufacturing for the important hidden bits, PRO Bikegear discover bar and stem along with a PLT set back seatpost adding to the comfort bar is 44cm with a 12 degree flair. All finished with that class bar tape from Cinelli Bikes UK and 32mm Hutchinson Cycling Blackbird All season - tubeless of course. Breaking the rules with carbon wheels from Mavic
Style suggestions and specific comfort instructions made by the rider and all translated by me into this. The ride is predictably plush with the bigger volume tyres and the steel riding dynamics. Another forever bike out the door. Something that looks as good at the cafe as it does loaded for the tour. Watch this space for the next one and get in touch if you are after a custom build like this.

Kicking off the week with another forever bike, this time from - an early Road rat dripping in the must haves, saddle post and a good dose of for good measure.

.cc 2026 highlights. Where cycling, creativity and engineering all merges. Utility bikes can look cool, cargo bikes done properly. All the alt cycling you can handle under one roof, fan-boyed at meeting Ronnie Romance and had a go at headbadge making with help as personal highlights.

Simple recommission of this cool old Kona. I tried to buy this a couple of years ago, owner wasn’t having any of that, instead it’s had a few new parts to make it rideable again. Great to get it back out and rolling for some more miles. Give us a shout if you’ve something sitting unloved you’d like to breathe new life into.

New bike day…….🚴🏼‍♂️ you know we love a custom build, this one was a solid brief. Something more relaxed, capable of heading away from the tarmac but still has to roll well(it shares its stable with a tasty Cervelo). From an aesthetic point of view we discussed- the monster cross look was appealing(without the smaller wheels) let’s dive into the the spec:
- Croix de fer 725 frameset
- 303S were on sale so, lets do that!
- GRX820 mechanical 2x12
- finishing kit
- Washburn tyres, in reliable durable carcass 700x42c
- ultra cool and reliable Bottom bracket
Proper awesome build, a real all rounder - in my opinion bang in brief. Will stand out in the right way at the coffee stop, delivers proper go anywhere ability and all day comfort. With the work done early in speccing it, the build comes in somewhere between 9-10kg - reasonable for a steel bike.
Custom builds don’t have to be out of reach and there’s just something about riding a bike that has your own input into it. Don’t ride the ordinary.

Full freshen up ready for the shred, pivot bearings, suspension front and back restored to plush condition and braking back in fine fettle. Customer came along via so thanks for the continued support. Get along to their road rides early doors on Sundays, obligatory coffee stop too. Maybe it’s time to add an off road contingent Johnny??

Fairly simple job that makes a huge difference to the owner, a specific requirement of needing to set off with the saddle low and adjust to riding height. Conveniently Cube left a spare route to internally route the cabling for a tidy addition of a dropper post. Basic service, firmware update and this is ready to keep the owner riding with plans for the Loch Ness sportive.
Upgrades aren’t just about performance.

These Focus are an almost niche brand, super nice riding and totally worth a few choice upgrades. Rim brake wheelsets are a bit harder to come by now but these Team 35SL from are hard to beat for value. Wearing tyres from my brand of choice in Challenger flavour. Full freshen up of cabling and consumables has this ride ready.

Some Brompton appreciation. Just a handful of the awesome folders we’ve seen this year including dropping one with its new custodian in Bristol last week. It’s been a positively busy time with them this season so some have passed through without a snap of it. Thanks for letting us get officially connected and putting us on the map.
Keep them coming, we are the only service partner for some miles and are equipped to tackle all generations including the latest electric variants and using genuine brommy parts…..unless you want something cool like mine.
