People from the other side of the room saw the new 14R Fluro yellow and walked down to check it out, not only they saw the 14R but even the 14 Bike co road bike’s had some love, the stainless road had some good interested. As I looked over to Ted’s stand there was a lot of people standing around him, as he talks about his amazing bike build. We had a great time in Bristol and saw more than last year, thank you to every one that came down to talk to us.

Being able to customise the final details of your custom made 14R is something that is very important to us!

We are also proud to be stocking the new Royce Track Cranks that are also available in jet black. The crank arms are available in various sizes; in a 144bcd as well as the tri lobe bottom BB’s and chainrings in sizes 46T – 50T (larger sizes are available on special order).
