Isambard’s Cycles Bespoke Bikes

Isambards specialises in building custom vintage cycles and is known for its friendly service and expert staff who pride themselves on being approachable. It’s the antithesis of intimidating hipsterish hangouts. The staff here are as enthused by the prospect of building a bike for a newby, or someone who hasn’t been in the saddle for years, as they are crafting a mean machine, 70s-style racer for a semi-pro speed demon. It’s that rare thing, an independent bike shop that’s key to local life, useful if your machine needs mending or upgrading.
