I have been told off by more than one of the lads here and customers for not updating the blog for a while so here you go. I have been very busy over the past week or so (horrid paperwork mainly) but slowly we are getting on top of it now. This is Tim`s bench…

This is a almost finished professional frame. As you can see from the picture the spear points have been welded to the shell first and then the tube will be brazed into the lug. This gives the frame strenght and stiffness around the shell. This frame was first build for our professional team we had…

Just thought I would show you the new Lime Green Flamboyant . We have only just got this new paint and as you can see ( hopefully) has a very bright finish. We are sure this will become a very popular choice. This renovation is on a early Mercian track frame with Nervex lugs.

David was good enough to send me these pictures amongst others of his tandem. They do own dare I say it more than one of our tandems and a few solo’s going by the garage pictures he sent me. The rear hub is a Rohloff which has now clocked up quite a few miles without…

Snow today and it stopped me riding into work. We have not had snow like this for some time and going by the weather people its here for some time to come.
