Enjoy those weekend rides.

Another custom-build out the door! We handed this

Another custom-build out the door!

We handed this one over to its new owner. He didn't fancy having his picture taken, so you've got me again, sorry 😉

It's a Genesis Croix de Fer 725 frameset, built up with our hand-built wheels.
The frame is Reynolds 725 steel. It's a strong, tough frame, plus comfortable on those long rides.

The wheels are carbon rims on DT Swiss 350 hubs, built here in the workshop. Carbon rims are lighter so the bike feels quicker to get going and holds its pace on climbs. The 350 hubs are well known for being reliable and easy to service, so they'll keep running without fuss.

Building the wheels ourselves means we can match them to the rider, his weight and how he rides, rather than hoping an off-the-shelf set suits.

Every part of a custom build is chosen for the person, so nothing is a compromise.

It's the bit of the job we enjoy most.
If you've got a frame in mind, or a bike that nearly works but not quite, come and have a chat.

Over 200 bikes and a handful of shoes in a day. I

Over 200 bikes and a handful of shoes in a day.

In the summer we provided the mechanical support for the London to Brighton charity ride, at Ardingly Showground for British Heart Foundation.

We fixed over 200 bikes, which meant people could carry on and finish the 54 miles.
One lady’s shoe had come apart, with the sole hanging off. A team of qualified engineers, and we found ourselves using cable ties and insulation tape so hold it together 🤣. It held though, and she rode off happy that she wasn’t going home early.

Fixing 200 bikes and a handful of shoes was a great day. We took donations on the day too, and all of it went to [charity name].
This was one of the best days we’ve had this year. Riders were doing something hard for a good cause, and we got to keep them going 💪

Leaving your bike out to rot over Winter is a tru

Leaving your bike out to rot over Winter is a true Halloween horror story. 💀

We've all been lazy after a filthy ride and left the bike sitting, but letting the elements get to it is brutal on the components. Rusted chains, seized parts, and rotten tape are no joke.

Don't let your trusty steed end up like this. Bring it into Pickering's Bikes before the weather really turns and let us sort it out before it becomes it becomes a sorry sight.

Drop us a message or pop into the shop to get it booked in! 🚲🎃

Happy Halloween!

A Reilly titanium gravel bike, built up with a set

A Reilly titanium gravel bike, built up with a set of our hand-built carbon wheels, GRX gearing and a leather saddle that's seen a fair few miles. Cages on the fork for the longer days out, and you can see from the mud that it gets well used.

That's why we like building titanium. It's comfortable all day, it doesn't rust, and Reilly put a lifetime warranty on the frameset for the first owner. You ride it hard, wash it off and go again.
Reilly are based new Biggin Hill and were founded by Mark Reilly and Neil FitzGerald in the early 1990s. There knowledge for framebuilding shows in the ride quality and performance of their frames. It's great starting point for a build that's yours.

Thinking about titanium? Come and have a look, or tell us what you'd want it to do. 👇
