Available to order and install at Pickering’s Bikes. A great groupset – quality stuff. Why not pair up with some TRP brakes to give you a wicked gravel bike set-up.

The commute to the shop is a bit muddy this week. Maybe some mudguards would do the trick? Also reminds me to get the bearings checked and greased for winter.

Not only do mudguards keep you dryer, but it’s only fair on your fellow riders. We have a good selection in stock: full length, ass saver, seat stay mounted, seat post mounted – All from the best manufacturers: SKS, Flinger, Zefal … FREE FITTING

Pickering’s Bikes / Downhill Smooth Tarmac Cycling jerseys are now in. Excellent quality ALE jersey £53. Limited stock.

We have built 2 of these amazing gravel bikes. Tifosi Cavazzo carbon frames with Pickering’s Bikes carbon gravel wheels, they are super responsive. GRX groupsets complete the package.

Has Willy Wonka moved in, or do the locals now churn their chocolate by river?

Geneis have launched an update of their bike range. Our deliveries have started. We have the NEW Croix de Fer, Tour de Fer and Vagabond in stock. Pop in for a chat about your gravel, tour / bikepacking and adventure needs.

It was a chilly foggy morning today. I went out on a test ride. This is my winter bike, now ready for the colder, damper months.

Mudguards are a must, of course. This one is a bit of a parts bin special – the left shifter doesn’t work, but I’ve fitted a bar end shifter to handle the front derailleur.  It also disc brakes. These aren’t essential for winter as decent rim brakes are nearly as good.

What is essential is a pre winter service. Call us to book yours before it’s too late.

On a bike test ride, enjoying the early morning mist, and patches of sunshine when I was passed by this wonderful machine.

We’re so happy to have provided the bikes for this long-distance tour. Congratulations to @rometohome. What a brilliant adventure.
