Another beautiful custom step through ready for collection. Finished in the ever-popular celeste with a full compliment of accessories including brass bell, mudguards, wicker basket and kickstand. We have one more mixte frame in this colour in stock
N O T H I N G N E W | A custom single speed built with only existing, refurbished parts and components right down to the bearings and cables. The chain issue was solved by linking together off-cuts of chains; I knew they would come in handy one day.
O F F I C I N A B A T T A G L I N | Columbus Spirit Battaglin upgraded to Campagnolo Record 12 speed and Ritchey WCS carbon components. A top groupset and finishing kit fit for a top frame; initial tests suggests it rides like a dream. #Battaglin #c
Impressive work by @themalkrace to get his Pinarello Montello frame paint-free and mirror-polished. By hand. It was my pleasure to build into an awesome neo-retro racer for him. #Pinarello #Montello #ColumbusSLX #chromebike #fullchrome #italianbike #

It’s always a pleasure to work on someone’s dream build. Gregor did all the prep work with sourcing, cleaning and polishing and we did the easy bit of simply putting together his rather nice Coventry Eagle racer. Good to see these classic
Early-90s Peugeot 525 Comp with complete and original spec looked great in the workshop showroom but will be a real head-turner on the streets of Edinburgh #peugeotbike #Peugeot525Comp #Reynolds525 #Mavic #ShimanoExage500 #retroracer #classicbike #90
Had the full team in today working hard building and fixing bikes. We’re working overtime on custom builds as well as preparing ready-to-ride bikes for sale. All bikes pictured plus a few others are still available but doubt they’ll hang
