BUILT IN BRITAIN - OPERATING IN EUROPE

THIS IS HOW WE WORK

Nestled on the edge of Bristol, where the city becomes the countryside. This is where the core of our team is based. Each bike is hand-built in batches. Nothing is rushed. We do things properly. We store bikes at our EU warehouse and have a network of service centres, test centres and showrooms.

OUR FRAMES

We have four frame designs that we have developed continuously since 2014. We’ve carefully designed them to be simple, lightweight, practical and versatile, keeping a classic aesthetic and riding characteristic.

 

We work with Reynolds tubing based in Birmingham who develop, design and manufacture the steel tubing. The frames are fabricated in batches by our Taiwanese frame manufacturing partner known for their quality and craftsmanship.

PAINTING

We work with EQC in Cardiff who powder coat our frames, giving them a protective finish and beautiful pastel tones.

HANDMADE HEADBADGE

The legendary Geoff Moorhouse carefully crafts our headbadges one at a time.

REYNOLDS TUBING

Reynolds is one of the oldest bicycle material companies in existence. They specialise in butted steel frame tubes, exclusively for the manufacture of high quality bicycles.
