Custom Builds & Special Projects

We have had the pleasure of completing a number of full restorations to vintage bikes that have involved extensive work including re-spraying, re-plating, wheel building and sourcing of period parts and components to complete the build.

Sometimes “off the peg” is just not good enough and a custom built bike is the only way to go, or perhaps its something you have always dreamed of. Either way we have helped a number of customers fulfil this ambition and helped design, specify and build their dream bike. Pop in for a coffee and begin the discussion.

This project was built for a customer after having he had the custom frame and wheelset made by Ridefullgas.com We helped advise on groupset and component choice and then assembled the bike.

Royal Enfield Super Lightweight Sports 1948 – A very special project for a good friend. This is another bike that belonged to the owner’s late Father. In this instance I knew him and used to see him riding this bike, so it was a huge pleasure to undertake a project to modernise and restore the bike. For safety reasons and especially as its now a “pub bike”, the original rod brakes were replaced with some modern long drop calliper brakes and matching levers. This change meant some new rims were required so a wheelset was built using the near perfect original hubs.
