Pheww done it

We got it done. Gav the shop manager put the bike together today ready for the customer. Im sure he will be happy with the result.

Vincitore Special

A lovely looking Vincitore special frame built from Reynolds 725 tubing with a nice helping of chrome for good measure. We have to get this ready for xmas as the customer wants it to ride over the holiday. So it will be all hands on deck tomorrow.

Complete bike

Here is the other side to the frame which Phil was holding in a earlier post. As you can see its a completely different colour. This is a difficult and time consuming paint job. The customer has based it on our Paul Smith design. The bike although is for a London customer my just find its way over to the states as he works there.

Congratulations Chris Hoy

Well done Chris on your BBC sports personality of the year award. Not forgetting the British cycling team who won team of the year also David Brailsford won coach of the year.

Another Anniversary Frame

Here you have Phil proudly holding a Anniversary frame which Rob and himself have been working on for the past few weeks just before it goes to the shop for building into a complete bike. A little like the our Paul Smith design but to the customers own colour scheme. I will post a picture once built.

Michael's 60th Anniversary bike

We have here a picture sent in by our good friend Michael. He lives in London and has put himself together a lovely looking bike built around one of our 60th Anniversary frames. I think this is number 7 of 60 being built . Each of these frame comes with a sterling silver head badge. Michael has some 953 frames on order at the moment.

Frame Renovation Time

It's the time of year when some of us are considering a frame re-
spray. We do offer a collection and delivery service within the U.K
which will help if your a distance from the shop of course. If you
would like us to collect the Frame please call our shop who will
arrange all the details. We can even collect from your place of work
if this helps. Just a couple points to remember please attach your
instructions to the frame and not the box and also place something
between the dropouts to protect the frame in transit. Once the frame
is ready we give you a call for payment and delivery details.
