Pilgrim Cycles

Pilgrim Cycles was a friendly independent bicycle shop based in historic Box Hill and Westhumble Stn

We are touring and audax specialists offering a full range of services including custom builds, new sales, servicing of all makes, repairs and spares and accessories. Our small coffee shop is currently closed due to the pandemic, but in happier times provides teas and coffees, hot chocolate and cold drinks as well as light snacks, toasties, soup, home made cake and flapjacks etc.

"Memories of Frank Patterson" is still available to order in time for Christmas assuming delivery within the UK.

Available from our online shop along with "Frank Patterson the Early Years" - this may be the last batch we have after several years of facilitating ownership.

Delighted to report that the last two Pilgrim Tourer display bikes are going to remain stablemates in their new lives and have gone to a perfect home together - with plans for a trip to Barcelona in the pipeline too.

What could be nicer? 🙂

Handed in the keys today - Pilgrim Cycles have now left the building.

(The tree looked great in the mist at sunset on our way home along Chapel Lane for the last time tonight but it didn't come out so well. There's a moral there).

So that's done and we can look forward to our second decade now... Alea iacta est.

Our last properly open day at the shop today before leaving the premises at the end of November...

These photos came to light of setting up in the empty unloved station in June 2013. Only feels like yesterday.

Looking forward to part 2 already.

The last newly-built Pilgrim Disc Tourer (for now at least) was collected yesterday and will certainly be much loved.

HOWEVER we still have two new display bikes to sell before we close... we will be open at the weekend and the remaining stock will be going into storage on Tuesday so don't hang about if you're interested.

Details here - we are open to offers too

Now this is an historic bike... quite likely the last Surly build from before we close the shop next week. And a very lovely it is too.

Although our shop will be closing at the end of the month, we are looking forward to the next chapter with interest.

This is quite possibly not the end. It is probably not even the beginning of the end. It is however the end of the beginning.

Onwards and upwards.

Closing down stock clearance...

We have one last Pilgrim 'Wyle Drover' gravel bike for sale in a 54cm size.

Brand new unused identical to the one in the photo apart from a black Brooks Cambium C15 in place of the green C17.

£1,950.00 reduced from £2,100.00 which is less than the retail cost of the parts - (and goes a long way to explaining why we are unable to continue in the current climate!)

Full spec here.. this is a quality build!

The time has come to draw stumps on our fun little journey that began with an empty unloved aged railway station in 2013 and grew into a business that suited its environment and which its environment suited down to the ground.

Pilgrim Cycles will sadly be closing its doors at the end of November - it has been a real pleasure to build so many thoroughbred bikes for our discerning customers over the last decade and we will miss the endless hours at the draughty damp old station which we have come to think of as home.

Many thanks to all our bike and cafe customers over the years and we hope to bump into some of you out and about for many years to come.

(We'll regard a 'like' as a positive comment in case anyone is in two minds whether its appropriate... )

The time has come to bid a fond and sad farewell to 'Mabel'...

Our lovely 1934 New Hudson 'ladyback' tandem now needs a new home where she can continue to be cared for and given gentle exercise.

Please do get in touch if you think you can offer her a lovely caring new home and would like to make us a sensible and respectful offer with due consideration to her polite sensitivities.

Listed from 1931 to 1939 Mabel is the 'Deluxe' version with the now rare and wonderful Cyclo 3-speed worm-gear derailleur.

Plenty of info online eg here..

Short spin for another new Pilgrim Disc Tourer earlier this week before collection.

This one's earmarked for an End-to-End before too long.

05/10/2022

Latest exciting news is that pre-orders on Big Bro and Allday frames are now open for November delivery!

We always enjoy building up a Big Bro frame and forks into a unique bikepacking or dayriding special, so don't miss out and let us know sooner rather than later if you'd like one.

Once they're gone they're usually gone for a while.
