  • Tomo 32er

    I was lucky enough to get an invite to the Brooks factory open day so wanted to take along something new with a UK manufactured link.

    I had just about finished the 32er frame in time, after a slightly challenging paint job and had loaded it with as many UK supplier parts as I could including Ratio Technology rear mech, Middleburn cranks, Brooks saddle and grips(obviously), USE stem and seat post, Bentley Components bag mount and a host of Hope Technology parts.

    As my first 32er it’s now time to test it but so far I’m very happy with how it’s riding.

  • Longtail bikepacking bike

    This had taken its time being finished, partly because it’s for me so at the back of the queue! I had been contemplating how to paint it. I really liked the colour way from the old Valiant Porsche 935 Racecar but could quite get a design with hard panels that I liked so as spring had arrived I go inspired to go a bit more organic.

    The bike started life as my 29er and after many years and miles it needed a freshen up. I have a long tail cargo that I love riding and had been wondering what a bike packing version would be like so after a nip and tuck, now we can find out.

    These shots were captured at the Bespoked bike show in London in April 2026 by John Prolly from the Radavist and Steve Behr. I felt honoured and love the pictures. Thanks guys.

  • Custom rack and frame mods

    For my entry into the recycle project, where we took old city bikes and gave them a refresh for a future useful life, I (obviously) did a bit of fabrication.

    I chose to do some frame changes, to make it look a little more unisex, add some branding, a custom rack and some paint in a hardwearing coating in BMW Mini Orange.

    It’s a win

  • 3Rensho repaint

    Lewis has returned with a lovely old fluro green 3 Rensho frame. The paint was really faded and it needed a couple of repairs for a cracked seat tube and bridge. It was also in need of an appropriate fork so we decided to build a new one with unicrown straight legs. All covered in a fresh coat of green and the decals he had sourced.
