Specialized Myka Ladies

Just got this 2015 Specialized Myka for a nice lady who wanted added mudguards

This is becoming a very popular choice with the girls who want to ride on & off road with the option to add a rear luggage rack if required.

Eat Cake Regularly?

Based on the 29+ platform (29x3" tyre on a 50mm wide rim) The Surly E C R is an off-road camp/tourer/explorer ready to tackle any terrain.

This 16" model is for one of our regular customers that wanted the ability to load up & ride wherever he wants to go. We love the possibilities this bike brings, from minimalist bike packing to fully loaded back road expeditions. The Jones handlebars seem super comfy too.

Surly Bikes - everyone should have (at least) one...

Any way you like it...

We love a challenge when it comes to bike builds, this ladies Dawes Discovery Sport 3 needed to have the added utility of rack & bags & also, as we go into 'the wet season' mudguards become an essential addition.
