A couple of bikes are heading out this weekend: a Trek District+ step-through e-bike equipped with a Bosch motor, and a 24" Ridgeback in the same color as Mum's!

Ian is making his first step into road cycling. He has no idea what a slippery slope it is!

We set him up with a Trek AL Gen 2, which is a perfect bike for getting the hang of it for under £1000.

This time next year, you will probably see Ian on the beef tub at midnight taking part in .

Pop into the shops today to speak about your next new addiction.

Alex came in looking to sort his fitness out and work up to some light touring. We talked and test rode a few different bikes before landing on the Croix de Fer 10, a steel-framed unit with Amplitude wheels and a Sora 2x9 drivetrain—the perfect do-anything bike. We added some mudguards and a rack, and he's away.

We are here to offer advice for wherever you want your wheels to take you.

"Mullet it" was the request for this Cannondale customer. We took off his 12x mechanical GRX and fitted a SRAM Rival AXS Mullet groupset with a whopping 32x52 climbing ratio for getting up walls. We finished it all off with a set of Hope RX24s with the Pro5s in blue 💙.

Come see us for your next build or upgrade... I'll wait here.
