Bought this little beauty from EBay - cheap as chips! It's about 30 years old, and needed a bit of TLC. After a full service, new bar tape, a new tyre and a favorite saddle it has a new lease of life. Rides well for an oldie!!

The Woodrup Project - Land's End to John O'Groats

Having been given a 1970s Woodrup frame, Graham set about rubbing down, re-spraying and adding decals before the long task of sourcing various components in order to build a touring bike suitable for cycling from Land's End to John O'Groats for charity. Friends gave him components they no longer needed; some pieces came from car boot sales and a few he bought new.
Finally - after a few test runs - Graham set off, riding solo and unsupported. He took just fourteen days to complete the 1100 mile challenge whilst raising money for Cancer Research, and camped most of the way. Along the route he met some amazing people, and had the most fantastic adventure! Graham is hugely indebted to family, friends and acquaintances who helped and supported - thank you - you know who you are!

What Our Clients Are Saying

"Graham has done a great job in servicing my bike in the past. The real difference is that you sense it's being done by someone who really cares about the detail. Not only did everything work so much better, but I had some real peace of mind as to its safety. I also got some (free) great advice too on all sorts of things biking! Nothing beats dealing with an enthusiast!"
