Beautiful Sunday morning walk with the little one now to the workshop for some wheel building followed by roast dinner with family. Enjoy your sunday

See ya later rusty and hello shiny 😁👍 marginal look gains 😉

Red bull rampage, case of hop house 13 and family time. This is how Sunday's should be #redbullrampage #theseguysarecrazy #hophouse13 #familytime

The patches are sewn on and looking good. Great work @ossspatchuk now to decide where to put the rest. #osspatch #lumberjack #needtoupthebeardgame #customuniform

The real boss has been in the workshop to keep me on my toes!

Today is being powered by tea and sausage rolls #pebbysbakery #greateccleston #greatwife #northerngrip

Another dream build for a customer. This S Works looks awesome, fast, stealthy and ready to rack up some miles. Can't show full bike as customer has not seen it yet #cycleservicing #custombuild #dreambike #preston #lytham #greateccleston #garstang #longridge #shimano #duraace

Oooh stainless worktop #soshiny

It was white once upon a time! Fresh tape time 😀 #cycleservicing #bartapesmells

After a recent dream custom build for a customer it got me thinking, if you had £10k to spend on cycling related items what would you buy? One dream bike, upgrade your current one, custom paint job or buy a few bikes? The bike in the photo is £40k! 😳 #dreambike #buyupgrades

This groupset has seen alot of use and abuse now it's upgrade time #rideupgrades #buyupgrades #cycleservicing #preston #blackpool #lytham #greateccleston #longridge #garstang

Husband: My wife is missing. She went on a bike ride yesterday and has not come home...
Sergeant at Police Station: ... What is her height?
Husband: Gee, I'm not sure. A little over five-feet tall.
Sergeant: Weight?
Husband: Don't know. Not slim, not really fat.
Sergeant: Color of eyes?
Husband: Sort of brown I think. Never really noticed.
Sergeant: Color of hair?
Husband: Changes a couple times a year. Maybe dark brown now. I can’t remember.
Sergeant: What was she wearing?
Husband: Could have been pants, or maybe a cycling jersey I don't know exactly.
Sergeant: What kind of bike did she go in?
Husband: She went on my road bike.
Sergeant: What kind of bike was it?
Husband: (sobbing)

fab service came and picked up 4 bikes to service

all 4 bikes came back on the same day and at a good price as well

cheers will def use again

Really great advice and service - thanks Tom!

Just like to say a big thanks to Tom for sorting the brakes on my Canyon Nerve al, fantastic service, would recommend anyone who wants 5 star service to try this guy. Thanks again Tom.

I had a level two service on my road bike to get it ready for my triathlon. Great service and turned around very quickly. High recommended

Great service. Having my bike collected, serviced and returned was painless and a really good price too.

Great service, bike feels like new. Thanks

Great advice and service from Tom at Gears and Spokes. My Beacon BF80 is running like new again, well nearly. Should have listened to all Tom’s advice and swapped out my outer chainring - incorrect wallet to brain ratio! I’ll be back next week.

Friendly and quick service, more than happy to use again - thank you.
