Reconditioned & Bespoke Bicycles
We often have a range of reconditioned bicycles for sale and are able to custom build wheelsets and bikes. If this is of interest, please contact us. If you have had your bike stolen, please contact us too, providing the crime reference number and frame number. Capacity allowing, we will aim to gift you a bike if the police are unable to recover it, or your insurance company unable to replace it.
Workshops
>> ALL IN-HOUSE TRAINING COURSES ARE ON HOLD DUE TO PHYSICAL DISTANCING MEASURES FOR COVID-19 <<
Each workshop course combines theoretical and hands-on practical training and assumes a solid understanding of the content in each preceding course. It is not necessary to complete all courses in order. Please ask if you have any queries BEFORE booking
Please note that we have a ‘three strike’ policy for cancellations, a ‘two strike’ policy for no-shows. Whilst this may sound harsh, places and capacity are limited, courses run on rotation and we hate turning people away when space and resources are available
