Custom Bike Builds

Off-the-peg bikes often lack that personal touch...

If you fancy something a bit different, original and to your own specifications, I can build up a custom bike for you. My specialism is fixed gear and singlespeed road bikes, as pictured, but if you have a particular idea or want for your own bike, please contact me and I will endeavour to help you realise your vision for a bespoke bicycle.

See examples of my work below (please note, bikes are built to order - these have already been sold).

Bools Bicycles

If you’re a cyclist, listen up
There’s a shop that’s nestled by a pub
Got a puncture, have no fear
Worn out brake pads – dodgy gears
‘Bool’s Bicycles’ the place for you
Just shout ‘Hello’ and walk right through.

Relax as soon as you come in
No flashing lights, no deafening din
Just an expert working hard inside
To get your cycle fit to ride,
Or help to build the one you got
In boxes from another shop.

Advice on safety – look no more
There’s loads of help behind that door
An explanation is on hand
In language you can understand
The smallest job is never rushed
It’s good to get the personal touch.
