Vincitore Special Track bike somewhere in London


Please find attached picture of my vincitore special track which I took last summer just after I had received it and put it together. needless to say the bike has been great, I changed to a fizik arione saddle after not really getting on with the B17 special; otherwise it is the same (despite a couple of small scratches (aargh!)). This wet weather is making me pine for a machine with mudguards though, and a rack, and a rohloff hub, and some chrome..... maybe next year eh? Damn this credit crunch impeeding my bike buying powers. Might try using it on the Dunwich dynamo next year instead of my 1970's Mercian that I used last year, some of those hills from Hackney to Dunwich are surprisingly sharp though, I was told it was all flat.

Hope you enjoy the pics, best,

Gary


London, UK

Pink


The customer wanted their renovation to be pink. With some discussion we came up with the design you see here with the stars and all which we can do for a small fee on any frame. Its boxed up now and on its way to the customer who will shortly be building it up for summer rides.

Mrs Tweedy's Pie Factory


This is our OLD shot blaster. This thing is powerful very powerful. You do NOT put your hand in there without proper gloves on. From renovation work to cleaning up jobs to work on it gets some serious use most days. As you can see its not in the cleanest room at the workshop and certainly not the best job to get either.

Kiems White machine

Hi,

I thought you might be interested in my Mercian bike I finished on Finish on the 27th June 2009 . It was originally a gold 1979 frame but you renovated it and I believe it's the same frame that was filmed by the BBC when they made a short about you for bike week? Maybe you can tell me if this is true?

Thank you so much for doing such a great job, I love my bike and it does turn heads.

All the best,

Kiem.
