WORKSHOP

As I work from a workshop and not retail premises, please contact me before attending at the workshop.

Please note that workshop space is limited and I do not have space to store bikes, therefore to avoid inconvenience to other customers, bikes are accepted for repair in the strict understanding that they will be uplifted within 24 hours of the work being completed.
