We want your bike to work for you, and if that means making some non-standard adaptions, let’s do it. This customer wanted both brakes, gears and dropper post all to work using left hand only. Sorted!

Forget internet shopping and stressing if that thing you bought arrives before Christmas and actually does what it says it does, why not shop in a local independent retailer instead? You might be pleasantly surprised. And we have biscuits. – at Shoreham-by-Sea, England
