Andrew began his cycle career in April 1994 as a Saturday boy at Greenstiles Cycles, Machynlleth, Mid Wales. In 1998 he began working full time at the shop, and progressed to manager until 2005. That summer while completing his Cytech Level 2 training in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, an opportunity presented itself to work for the popular local shop Buckingham Bikes. He worked in sales in the main shop for a year, before being offered the role of manager for the shop's standalone workshop premises. He remained there until early 2011, overseeing a busy team of mechanics.
During this time Andrew and his girlfriend Laura had been spending increasing amounts of time travelling up to the Lake District, in awe of the stunning scenery and endless opportunities for cycling and walking. The lure became too much, and so the decision was made to move to the Penrith area in March 2011. A part time job at the local bike shop quickly progressed to full time, and he worked there as a senior mechanic until February 2015, gaining his Cytech Level 3 qualification in the process.

Cannondale Caad 10 £524.99
52cm
Sram Apex/Shimano RS10
... One of the best aluminium race frames available, a legendary model. We bought this one in as a frameset, it's been built up with a Sram Apex 10 speed groupset and Shimano RS10 wheels from a low use Synapse carbon. It's had new bottom bracket and headset bearings, new saddle, handlebars and stem, all new cables and bar tape.
It has a couple of light dings on the right hand side of the top tube, and a very slight one on the left. This may have been from the previous handlebars. Please see photos, this doesn't compromise the bike in any way apart from being cosmetic. This has been reflected in the lower price than we would otherwise ask. The cranks have some scuffing on them and there are a few other light marks from use, but overall it's very tidy.
CAAD10 52cm Sram Apex 11-32, 34/50 groupset Shimano RS10 wheels with 25mm Continental Gatorskin tyres Deda Zero 42cm bars/BX 110mm stem, Cannondale seatpost, Prime saddle.

Colnago Master Olympic £1999.99
C.1998 Model Complete with handbooks and original receipts for Dura Ace group, Mavic Cosmic wheels and finishing kit.
In very good condition, has spent the vast majority of its life in storage.
... Top tube C-C 54cm Seat tube C-C 52cm
Dura Ace 7700 groupset Mavic Cosmic Carbon SSC SL
The Colnago Master is undoubtedly the evergreen of cycling history. First released in 1983, five different versions of the Colnago Master were manufactured until 1998 (Master 1983, Master Più 1988, Master Olympic 1991, Master Light 1994, Master X-Light 1998). Thanks to this superb frame, the Italian brand achieved the peak of its steel design, but on the other hand, the Master also represents the end of the steel era in the bicycle industry. Released in 1991 the Master Olympic shares with its predecessors the famous crimped tubing. The Olympic distinguished itself for very eye-catching paint schemes, especially the famous Art Decor pattern. This model is equipped with reliable Shimano Dura Ace parts.
Selling on behalf of a local customer, the bike can be viewed at our workshop by appointment if required.

Wilier GTR Veloce 2014 £799.99
Size small- suits approx 5'4"-5'6" 28-30" inside leg Top tube 520mm approx
... This is exactly the type of bike we like to offer- a virtually immaculate example with very little use. It's been through our workshop for a clean/check/adjust, with new bar tape fitted. The only other change to original spec is the upgraded Continental Gatorskin tyres. £1500 new. Stunning looking bike, it's hard for the photos to do it justice-it looks even better in the flesh and has a real premium feel about it. Being a used bike is has some signs of use, but they are extremely slight, it's not far off new condition.
Reborn from the ashes of the Gran Turismo, the new GTR inherits the same carbon fibre composite with a renewed head tube, internal cable routing and the latest Wilier tech, including a Smooth Rear Design system to boast the same amazing comfort without dissipating power.
Razor Edge design brings torsional stiffness and stability through a profile that branches out from seat tube and bottom bracket to join near the headset. Special edging that runs along the full extent of the fork makes the GTR's front end stable and receptive, even when out of the saddle.
It's these elegant finishes that craft the GTR to be even better than one of the most beloved Wilier framesets, making it one of the hottest bikes for 2014.

Trek Lexa SL £324.99
2012 Model £800 new
Triple Chainset
... 54CM Suits approx 5'6" - 5' 9"
This tidy example has just had a Bramble Bikes full service, which is a bare frame strip and rebuild. It's had a new bottom bracket, hub and headset bearings, gear and brake cables, brake pads and bar tape. This is the equivalent of about £150 worth of work.
It has some marks and scratches on the frame (most notably on the top tube, please see pics) and has been priced lower than I would normally ask to reflect this.
The intuitive responsiveness of Trek's Tour-winning performance design. The Trek Lexa SL T 2012 Women's Road Bike is built with Trek's 100 Series Alpha Aluminium fully butted frame. Carbon fibre Seatpost and Ergonomic Bontrager Affinity saddle for long-ride comfort and Reliable Shimano Tiagra shifting performance. WSD: sized and spec'd to fit women.

2010 Giant Defy 3 Sora Alu/Carbon £249.99
Small
Triple Chainset
... This popular model has just had a Bramble Bikes Full Service, which involves a full strip and rebuild. It's had new chain, hub bearings, brake pads, gear/brake cables, and bar tape, which equates to approx £180 worth of work. The tyres have been upgraded to Continental Gatorskins, also the bars/stem have been upgraded to 31.8mm which gives the bike a much more modern look than the standard model.
It has some marks/chips from use and general light wear.The black anodising on the left hand side of the front wheel has been rubbed off by presumably an incorrectly positioned brake pad at some point. This doesn't affect the performance.
Mechanically it's excellent having had all the work done and would be a great starter bike/commuter etc.
Giant's Defy 3 boasts race-ready engineering without breaking the bank thanks to its super-light ALUXX SL aluminum frame and carbon fork that provides a great feel, cornering precision and fine power transfer. Shimano's positive-shifting drivetrain offers 24 hill-flattening gears.

2015 Scott Speedster Contessa S25
£349.99
Medium, suitable for 5'5"-5'8" approx

Standard specification apart from an upgraded Pro Griffon saddle.
RRP new was £750.
