Even though we're on the list of places that can stay open (see screenshot below)..it will just be me in the workshop from now on, and I suspect demand won't be too high, so I'll only be working 12-4 most days for now. Bikes will still be posted to the page and collections/deliveries will be as per government guidelines... Hope you all stay safe during this time. :)

Raleigh "City Pioneer" Bicycle. Nice old bike, with 10 simple gears operated by the thumb shifters. 700c wheels, tyres are still good so I'll leave them on....

Spring clearout time!!! I've selected 12 bikes we've had for a wee while now, and reduced them greatly in price, which is in the pictures. In years gone by, this time of year is when we get our biggest influx of bikes, so rather than clutter up our storage and workshop, I'd rather let some bikes go for cheap and then everyone wins! So grab a bargain while you can, as these bikes are only available at the prices pictured until 5pm on Monday. :)

This is a Marin Bear Valley frame from the earlier 90's. I do have a few more of it's original components laying in a box with an awful lot of other parts!! As pictured and upside-down as I don't have a workstand at my storage yard. This one, is for sale at £20. :)

This bike, is being sold totally as a project or for use as parts/advertising, etc. Cranks are included, no bottom bracket fitted and those forks are pretty suspect too. All in all, beyond my economical repair. But this one, is for sale at only £20. :)

Hey folks, I'm just in the process of going through what we have left over that's been sitting around too long, just the three things to post today but more to come! Starting with this... Specialized Crossroads Hybrid.... In great condition and good riding order, a couple of minor flaws but will do someone very nicely I'm sure.
This one, is only £50. :)

This one, is for sale at £80. :)
