Restoring Britain’s Cycling Heritage
Specialists in historically accurate bicycle restoration, conservation and bespoke commissions.
Restoration Levels
Historically accurate restorations returning bicycles to factory specification.
Ideal for rare and significant machines where originality and detail are paramount.
Preserving original paint, patina and character whilst improving reliability and appearance.
Often the ideal approach for family bicycles and well-preserved originals.
Period-inspired bicycles built around a specific vision, rider or purpose.
Combining historical influence with modern usability.
More than restoration
Every project begins with research.
Original catalogues, period photographs, factory specifications and surviving examples are studied before work begins.
Many of the bicycles that enter our workshop are the last surviving examples of their kind.
Our role is not simply to restore them, but to preserve what makes them significant.
