One very happy customer leaving the shop today with a very sexy bike. When someone sees your bike you want them to think “what the hell is that??!!” And this does not disappoint. Riding a bike is as much about exercise or transport as it is about emotional connection and the feelings that come when woman/man and machine come together. Yeah you can jump on a bike and get from A to B. But does it turn you on? Does it excite you? When you put your leg over your bike you want every ride to be your favourite ride. Every pedal stroke taking you one revolution closer to happiness and exhilaration, that feeling of accomplishment and overwhelming love and yearning for more. This can usually result in the consumption of unhealthy quantities of coffee and cake. So be warned. Falling in love can affect your waist line!! But it is 110% worth every penny and moment, which you will cherish. This happens to be a unique and absolutely awesome custom build, with bike fit to the customer, right here

✅ Cinelli Pressure ADR 🔥🔥🔥🔥
✅ Ultegra di2 wireless
✅ Zipp 303s hooops
✅ Pirelli P Zero 4S tubeless 30mm
✅ FSA fully integrated cockpit
✅ bliss
✅ Proper

No ridiculous hash tags required. Just enjoy the moment.

After a very traumatic few months I’ve started to sleep properly again, and, recently I’ve even remembered a dream! In that dream I vividly recall eating marmalade on toast with a proper cup of Yorkshire tea. And it felt good. So, today, I am “living the dream” 🙏🏽 (albeit for around 47 seconds) And you know what? It feels just as good as it did in my dream ❤️ Loads of changes at work- new branding, new opening hours, and a strong focus on who we are and what we do rather than just what we sell. Keep tuned for updates and probably the worst YouTube channel you’ll ever subscribe to 🎥
