New frames
Road, touring and all-weather commuters. Every frame starts with a fitting on the jig: an hour of measuring, pedalling and arguing about handlebar height. Lugged or fillet-brazed, painted one colour or two.
We braze frames from thin-walled steel tubing, restore bikes that have spent twenty years in a shed, and lace wheels for people who are tired of replacing them.
Road, touring and all-weather commuters. Every frame starts with a fitting on the jig: an hour of measuring, pedalling and arguing about handlebar height. Lugged or fillet-brazed, painted one colour or two.
Strip, check alignment, treat the inside of the tubes, repaint or keep the original finish under clear coat. We source period parts when they matter and say so when a modern part is simply better.
Thirty-two or thirty-six spokes, brass nipples, tensioned by meter and then ridden before you collect them. Dynamo hubs wired on request.
Only for bikes we built or restored, so we can keep the turnaround short: bearings, cables, brake pads, a true of both wheels. Booked by the week, usually back in three days.
The workshop is at 11 Tanner’s Yard. Open Tuesday to Friday, nine to five; Saturday mornings for collections.
