Please telephone to discuss your order. For overseas custom
PayPal is only the option for transfer the payment. Our
full range of cycles, spares and accessories will delivery

customer. We
totally rebuild Traditional Ladies and Gentlemen's cycles
from the 1950’s or earlier, using the original frame and
forks and most of the original components wherever possible.
All bicycles are sturdily built
to our specifications and assembled at our workshop in
Surrey.
The well-known brands for
restoration include: Raleigh, Triumph, B S A., Hercules, Rudge, Humber etc. We are able to offer a choice of either
rod or cable brake models, but you will appreciate that the
cycles with rod brakes are more labour intensive to rebuild
and in addition there are more components to be sent for
plating which is very costly indeed.
These machines are completely
dismantled. The paintwork is shot blasted, painted and stove
enamelled, finally gloss lacquered and coach lined by hand,
giving attention to detail at all times. The bright work is
re-plated or replaced. New cups and bearings, and wheels
rebuilt with new spokes. Sturmey Archer gearbox serviced or
replaced. Fitted with new tyres and tubes, a bell and a
pump.
If
purchasing a cycle as a present for someone then please
ensure that a "safe " contact
telephone number is given as we will need to contact you
to make delivery arrangements and don't want
to spoil your surprise.
"How
to measure the frame Size".
From the top of the
seat tube to the centre of the axle. This is ideal if you
have an old cycle (or a friends) to
check in order to help you determine the correct size that you need. Also have a look at the tyres which
will give you the size of the wheel.but buying a bike of the
correct size is not just about the height from the ground.
As bikes get bigger height-wise, they also get longer. The
distance from the saddle to the handle bars increases by on
average 1" for every 2" increment in frame size. So you must
also make sure that though you may be able to stand astride
a bigger framed bike, that you can still comfortably reach
the handlebars and manage all the controls. Remember that
the saddles on all bikes are adjustable by between 4" and
10" so any bike can be tailored to fit you perfectly.
In addition we also
supply:
The Classic Range

reproduced these traditional Ladies and Gents classic
bicycles to the characteristic style of the 1930’s,
hand-built from traditional materials.
These models come in a variety of frame sizes to suit, have
comfortable sprung saddles and traditional raised handlebars
with rod brakes, chain guard, hand pump, bell and fitted
with Sturmey Archer gears as standard.
