Microshift Sword

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.

Muddy Commute

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.

It’s wet – it’s mudguard time!!

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

Winter bike service or upgrade???

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.

Congratulations Rome to Home

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

Funky Barrels in Burton

Road home from Burton on the Cotic Soul this morning. 853 tubing is just great. Smooth and responsive even with me riding. Loads of funky painted barrels around town.

Tifosi Cavazzo custom build – anything missing?

Here we have our latest custom build, most of the parts anyway. Cavazzo frame, our handbuilt carbon wheels, GRX 600 groupset, our carbon bars and seat post, plus it has to have a Brooks. Can you see what’s missing???

Not a lot of people know this…
