Engineers who are passionate about bikes.

BIKE OF THE WEEK! This one previously had drop r BIKE OF THE WEEK! 

This one previously had drop road bars and double chainrings with a front derailleur.
Our customer didn't feel in control riding on gravel with the narrow drop bars, and was struggling changing gear between the front chainrings. So we installed flat bars and converted the gears to a 1x system, which has just one chainring.

She also asked for a bit of bling to make the bike feel more like hers, we're always happy to oblige. Your bike is a very personal thing, and we want you to love it. We'll help make it both feel and look perfect for you.

She's really happy with the changes - we think it looks fantastic, but more importantly, she can now ride those gravel tracks with confidence.

What small tweak would help you love your bike?

Here's a few photos from our recent visit to @merc Here's a few photos from our recent visit to @merciancycles in Little Eaton! 

They hosted a Festival of Steel, organised by Belper Cycling Club, and we took part in the Jeff Bowler 50km ride around the hills of Derbyshire - great fun, but hard going on those hills! 💪

Belper Cycling Club and Mercian made everyone feel extremely welcome and looked after us so well throughout the day.

A brilliant day out with a truly legendary brand - Thanks for having us! 🚲

Bike(s) of the week! 🚲 A highly valued regular cu Bike(s) of the week! 🚲

A highly valued regular customer brought his Genesis Croix de Fer in for an upgrade from 2x10 gearing to 1x12 GRX. He was so happy with the result that he left with a bonus - a beautifully restored Mercian!

We built it up using a frame very kindly donated by Geoff from @downhill_smooth_tarmac , the 2x10 groupset taken off the Croix de Fer, and a few other parts we had knocking about the shop.

Thanks to Geoff for your help building the bike, it's great to have a guest expert mechanic for the day.
