We are a family run business and we've been based at the stunning Drumlanrig Castle for more than 20 years now (crikey....).We do bikes... we fix 'em; sell 'em; build tracks for them; build 'em; race 'em; hire 'em; and, talk 'em;But most of all, we just get out and ride 'em - and so should you.

The last bike on the stand was a carbon full suspension wanting brakes bled, drivetrain swap out and a suspension service.

It will give me just as much satisfaction to bring this old lady back into her prime and sort out a few rattles šŸ”§šŸ‘Œ

Some mellow rainy day tunes today. Quick brew then on with the spannering šŸ”§

What a lovely old bike adorns my stand today!!
In for a wee tune up.
Pete Matthews was a Merseyside shop which is now closed, but I believe Pete is still building wheels well into his 80s.

It is an absolute pleasure to have this featherweight to work on šŸ‘Œ

As usual Iā€™ve generated a wee bit of confusion!!
Where are you Rik??
I need my bike fixed but youā€™ve not told us how šŸ™„

So there are currently three ways for me to get your bike fixed.
1 - call me or msg and I will arrange to collect your bike from your home and then bring it back fixed šŸ‘Œ
2 - leave the bike at OST and msg me that you have and what needs done and Iā€™ll collect it and return it mended šŸ‘Œ
3 - call me to make an appointment to drop your bike at Hillend, which is about 1 km up the Dunscore Rd from Auldgirth, on the left just before the Glenmidge junction. Itā€™s a sharp turn into the steading so be careful but cars and vans can get in fine šŸ‘Œ
