Leigh Timmis Around the world
In 2010, we waved Leigh off at the Derby Council offices as he left the UK to cycle around the world, on his unique and epic expedition of 44,000 miles over seven years, across 51 countries, and on a budget of only £5 per day. Pushing the limits of cycling and human endurance, he rode…
Jeremy’s Olympic cycle
Hi all, this is my Olympic. I understand from yourselves, although I have lost your email response, that it was built in 1984 (frame number 94084, builder number 4), for a cycle shop on a posh road in central London. I purchased it in Cobham, Surrey, from the family of the owner, who had sadly…

Chris’ renovated Mercian
Hi, When I collected my reconditioned frame you asked if you could see some pictures of the finished bike, here they are: The bike is my 2001 Mercian that you built for me, the refurb’ involved the frame being reconditioned by you.

Simon’s Mercian in France
Hello Mercian In France this summer it occurred to me that I never sent you a picture of the beautiful orange Pro Lugless frame you made for me in 2007 after I built it up. So here it is at the top of the Peyresourde, still as nice as the day I finished putting it…

Bill’s old friend
My second Mercian, 20 years old, still going strong and handles like a dream, in its native Derbyshire hills on the way from Gloucestershire to Cape Wrath in 2014. The last few miles out to the end beyond the ferry are a bit rugged (the ferryman said I’d need a “mountain bike” whatever that is)…
