Andrew collected his beautiful Ironbridge Pinion equipped bike last week. The frame was handmade by our framebuilder Chris, from Reynolds 853 tubing, and the build is finished off with Magura hydraulic disc brakes, Jones handlebars and a classic Brooks B17 saddle. We think it’s a fantastic looking bike (rides beautifully too!). We wish you many happy miles Andrew!

We recently built Chris an Ironbridge ‘1779’ frame, custom tweaked, to incorporate the electric crank motor of his choosing. This is one of the unique benefits of a handmade frame.. All you have to do is ask! It’s a cracking looking bike, and a credit to Chris’ vision.. He recently contacted us to tell us how much he’s enjoying it. We wish you many happy miles Chris!

Here’s our framebuilder Chris, fillet brazing a head tube joint on one of our Ironbridge frames. After this stage, each joint is carefully filed down, creating a smooth seamless finish. This is a time consuming, traditional method, but produces the neatest finish in our opinion!

Mark collected his beautiful Ironbridge Rohloff equipped bike last week. It’s a real go anywhere bike, all ready for some loaded touring. The frame was handmade by our framebuilder Chris, from Reynolds 853 tubing. We think the build is a great modern take on the traditional roadster hub geared bike. A classic look! We wish you many happy miles Mark!

Here’s Phil collecting his beautiful new handmade Ironbridge bike this week. The frame incorporates a Pinion gearbox, and has also been made ‘E-ready’.. As like a lot of handmade bike frames, they tend to be a ‘bike for life’, so later down the line, when Phil decides he wants some electric assistance, all the Neodrives battery and hub motor mounts etc are already on the frame! With e-biking become so popular, we are finding a lot of people are asking for their Ironbridge frames to be e-ready..

One of the many nice things about having a custom made frame.. If you decide you want bottle cage mounts on the head tube, you can have them!

Another handmade Ironbridge bike ready to go to it’s new forever home! This one’s a ‘do everything’ steed, with chunky tyres, Jones bars, brooks B17 saddle, and Pinion gearbox with a huge spread of gear ratios. It’s also been spec’d by the customer as ‘E-Ready’, so has all the mounting points and battery mounts attached, ready for a neodrives system at a later date. Truly a bike for life!

Here’s Jackie, on her brand new handmade Ironbridge bicycle.. As you can see, she’s very happy with it! The frame was hand built here in Coalport by our framebuilder Chris Corney. It has a pinion gearbox, gates belt drive, and is e-ready. Meaning when Jackie feels the need for some electric assistance, we can fit the superb neodrives hub motor system to it. Truly a bike for life!
