![]() The Fundamentals of mountain bike leadership is the newest of British Cycling's leadership awards and is the entry level into the mountain bike leadership scheme.īritish Cycling, Scottish Cycling and experts in the outdoor industry, have developed a course that combines online learning with face-to-face training and assessment to give you all the skills you need to lead mountain bike rides. We built a brace of Surly Disc Truckers, complete with ever-reliable 9-speed transmissions, cable disc brakes and steel racks, as well as Brooks leather saddles, Ortlieb luggage and Ergon grips.British Cycling Fundamentals of Mountain Bike Leadership The frame is a Canyon Ultimate AL – the matt black on matt black colour scheme was Kevin’s idea, but I managed to talk him in to the anodised purple Hope RS hubs… The wheels are custom, with H+Son Archetype rims.īest mates Tina and Marta came to us for a matching pair of world-beating custom touring bikes, specced for their upcoming tour of Patagonia. Kevin’s a die-hard road rider, raised on the golden era Tours de France of the ’80s and ’90s, so the groupset had to be Campagnolo. He’s been dreaming of this bike for as long as I’ve known him, and he finally gave the go-ahead to build it. Kevin is a long-standing customer, I’ve been servicing his venerable Bianchi for more than ten years now. The ‘billiard-cue’ paint job is just too cool! A well-sorted ’60s Moulton rides nearly as well as a brand new one, and this fully refurbished bike cost its new owner about a third of what a brand new one would set you back! It has a few new parts (chain, cables, bar tape and tyres) but most of its components are original. BIKE WORKSHOP BRISTOL FULLWe found him this 1965 Deluxe and gave it a full mechanical restoration. This bike’s owner is from Bradford-on-Avon, where Moulton bicycles have been built since the early ’60s – he felt that he should have one of his own. ![]() The bike features Nitto bars, Brooks saddle and bar tape, and some extremely radical vintage TA Specialites track cranks. This Cinelli single-speed was a custom job for Ben, a long-time customer – he wanted to treat himself to his dream bike, and here it is! It’s pictured here with a Shimano coaster-brake hub, but I built another rear wheel with a track hub – Ben rides the bike with the coaster brake in the city, and fits the fixed-gear wheel for longer blasts in the country. I think the Raleigh Twenty (also known as the Shopper) is one of the coolest bikes around, and I’m trying to talk the rest of the world round to my way of thinking… We also fitted new grips, cables, tyres and tubes and a new chain. We stripped and rebuilt the bike, including its Sturmey Archer three-speed hub gear. ![]() ![]() And a bike thief wouldn’t be seen dead on it! It’s pretty original, but we rebuilt the wheels with modern alloy rims, which give way better braking than the original steel ones. We built this Raleigh Twenty for a student – it’s a perfect city bike: sturdy, reliable, comfortable, with nippy handling. If you’re in the market for a bike we can build something to suit your budget – ‘custom’ doesn’t have to mean ‘expensive’! Here are just a few of the custom bikes I’ve built over the last year or so – a good cross-section. ![]() We’ve always got a selection of quality road and touring frames in stock, and we’re expert in sourcing frames to suit our customers’ specifications. We usually hold a varied stock of refurbished bikes, but if you’ve already got a good idea of what your new bike looks like, we’re always happy to build it for you. ![]()
