Our story
Redundancy money, a workbench and a plan.
Clydebank is a town that built things for a living. In 1998, Iain took his shipyard redundancy money and put it into a bike shop. Not as a farewell to the yards, but as a way of carrying on the same kind of work: build it properly, by hand, and stand behind it.
That's still the job, whoever walks through the door.
Today the shop floor does three jobs. Commuter bikes and servicing for the town. Gravel and road builds for riders who want every detail right. And adaptive cycling, fitting bikes and trikes for children and adults who need them set up differently. Same bench, same standards, same people.
