The Spark: London 2012

Our story began with the London 2012 Olympics. As keen triathletes and cyclists we were captivated by the sport, but we couldn't ignore a gap in the industry.

The bikes were incredible, but the second hand market was the Wild West. Buying a premium used bike felt like a gamble. We knew there had to be a better way.

The Idea: Watch Market Standards

We found our inspiration in the luxury watch market, where pre-owned means certified, trusted and premium. Why shouldn't cyclists get the same?

So we brought trust, expertise and certification to bikes. What started as an online idea and a small store near Richmond Park quickly struck a chord with riders.

The Heart Of It: Kingston

Today everything runs from our store and workshop in Kingston upon Thames. Our mechanics inspect, service and check every bike we sell, whether it's ex-demo stock from a manufacturer or a trade in from a local rider.

Nothing goes on sale without passing our 100-point check.

To Your Doorstep

Expertise should be convenient, so we run our own hand delivery service. Our team bring bikes to riders across the UK, built and ready to ride, and collect bikes we're buying too.

Part Of The Cycling Community

We've now sold more bikes in the last three years than in our first eight, but numbers only tell half the story. We're proud to be part of British cycling, having sponsored the Tour of Britain and supported grassroots racing like the Guildford Crit.
