About me
I started off as a yound lad tinkering with cycles because I love riding. The days in summer building my ramps and jumping with mates just having fun.
I made many mistakes as a lad tinkering, and getting oily, but learned valuable lessons.
I love the feeling when I finish a bike and hand it back to the customer ready to ride 🙂
Any bike I work on , I treat as my own.
