PINKY THE PEUGEOT
Based on a 1980s Peugeot, Pinky pushes the boundaries of what an old road bike is capable of!
Originally built single speed, pinky now sports a 2x10 set up, wide bars and its original side pull brakes.
I squeezed in panaracer gravel kings in 35c too!
GARY FISHER WAHOO 650B
Pushing the limits of retro mtb frames!!
Proof that a quality frame doesn’t age! I took this Gary fisher and made it into a disc running, 650b adventure beast.
2x9 gearing, cable actuated hydro brakes and tubeless tyres give this retro frame plenty of modern comforts, and the long top tube makes for a stable bike too
CANNONDALE SUPER V 1000 (1994)
An American slice of resto-mod cool
Full on resto mod, this 1994 super v has been dragged into the 21st century with custom wheels, longer travel forks and wide flat bars
It looks ace and rides pretty well to boot - plus it’s super light as well!
CHARGE PLUG SINGLE SPEED
Single gear gravel awesomeness
Constantly being upgraded, this is my go-to gravel bike for many rides, it’s super simple, easy to maintain, light and comfortable
Running 40c gravel kings, carbon forks and tiagra hollowtech cranks as well as custom wheels
BIKE - MERCIAN 531C TRIATHLON FLAT BAR
Built to go alongside its drop bar stablemate, this lovely frame was gifted to me, and presented a perfect opportunity for a flat bar build.
Super wide bars, sub compact gearing, lots of shimano Deore LX 7 speed and that amazing blue paint job make for a sweet bike!
DAWES CHILLIWACK 700C CONVERSION
I really pushed the boundaries on this one, taking an old MTB from the end of the steel era and converted it to take proper 700c wide tyres.
This one required some frame modification, but I was ok with it, as the bike was free and found at the side of the road years ago - plus it was only the stay bridges.
I built some custom 700c wheels with hope hubs and crowsfoot lacing for some extra spice on this one!
With touring duties in mind, I went for a good old 3X9 gearing set up - that’s right, a triple clanger up front on this one.
Braking is taken care of by some polished shimano v brakes and adaptors to fit the bigger wheels.
