News from the workshop (2)

11/5/2013

0 Comments

 
A lot has happened since the last post on here. We are going to be getting a bit more room, as the computer side of the business looks like getting a new home. In addition, the wheels that were stored in the workshop have a new home, meaning that our collection of frames can have its own storage area!

The Carlton Corsair is going to be picked up by its new owner (photograph below). The Paris "Tour de France" is at the painters and we have finally managed to track down all of the components for it. The Kirk Precision is almost done: The wheels are built and all of the components are here.

The Southampton branch has moved on to an early Giant smothered in Campagnolo Athena but with the curious, fairly unusual, Avanti shifters. Despite being Campag's lowliest offering in the mid 1990s, they are becoming saught after as few made it to the UK and their unusual shift tab is unique amongst Campag kit.

All the best & more soon!

News from the workshop (1)

Given that the workshop is nearly finished (yes, other things have got in the way) and spring has suddenly arrived, we thought that it was high time we changed our news letter name. We have been playing "Granchester Meadows" continuously to try to induce even more spring like weather!

There are a whole heap of projects going on - the Carlton is nearly finished and will be out for photos soon, as will the Paris Tour-de France. A Kirk Precision has turned up to be beautified. The famous magnesium framed bike was well known in the late 1970s and early 1980s, with stints on the BBC's "Tomorrow's World" and with a team in the Tour de France: Allegedly, almost a month's production run of frames was pumped into the team to make sure that they got through it with clean looking bikes.

The Southampton branch has been putting a Look 576 together and Campagnolo-ing it. Mr Bat has started a discussion on Facebook on the identification of a bike geek, so find it and join in!

All the best and we will be writing more soon!

Workshop refurbishment

18/8/2012

The work shop will be closed for the whole of September for refurbishment. If you have an emergency, then please contact us through alaric@rwkbicycles.com and we may still find a slot for you.

The workshop was supposed to have closed during the Olympic and paralympic period but work increased in the time, so it was kept open. However, urgent works need to be undertaken and, as a result, the workshop will need to be closed for the month. Photographs will follow!
