Chris funky ride

Hi there, I thought I’d sent over a couple of pictures of my Mercian tt frame. I’ve not seen too many (any) like it so assume it wasn’t a standard frame that you produced. It’s an early nineties frame I think, recently refinished and turned into a fixed wheel bike via a White Industries Eno…

Tim’s Bike

Meet Barry

Barry popped in to see us today, not from around the corner but from Hoy in Orkney. The half way trip from Glasgow took 5 hours drive alone so the round trip has to be a total 20 hours drive. We sat him on the frame jig and took the King of Mercia complete bike…

Meet Thomas

This is Thomas our new apprentice frame builder, proudly holding his first frame. A very keen cyclist who believe it or not broke his leg badly, falling off a bike, just after his interview, but he manages to hobble in every day on crutches and he’s on the mend. Welcome to the team Thomas.
