We're looking forward to seeing what Andy gets up to now he has more time for frame building though!

Out and about on your bike this weekend? Snap a picture of your bike somewhere in Scotland and email it (and the location) to [email protected] to be added to our map! All entries received before midday on the 30th April will be entered into a draw to win an exposure light (worth £100).

Prize Draw - Email entries to [email protected] before 12 Noon on 30/4/2025

We'd like to see where our customers' bikes get to. We have 2 maps, ones of Edinburgh, the other of Scotland. It would be great to put your bikes on the map so...

Send us a photo of your bike/trike on a ride to be in with a chance to win a prize!

Email [email protected]
Please include the place the photo was taken (as accurately as possible)

- Prizes are
- Exposure Sirrius front light (rrp £100),
- £40 worth of vouchers
- 2 spare tubes in your size (or orange seal sealant if you're running tubeless)

- Winners will be selected at random at 12 noon on the 30th April so get your photos in before then. You'll need to pop by the shop to collect your prize if you win.

- Small print -

We will print out your photos polaroid sized and put them around our map on the wall. We may post pictures of this to social media. We will not individually put your photo on social media. If you'd like to enter without showing your bike then send us a a photo of a distictive place you've visited by bike instead (eg, forth bridge). Please make photos decent enough quality to print. All photos that fit these criteria will be entered into the random draw. If you'd like to send us multiple photos for the map that would be great, but it won't mean more entries into the draw. Any questions, just let us know
