Est delivery 6 - 8 weeks

A classic British roadster inspired by early 20th-century cycling, built for those who value heritage, simplicity and the experience of riding.

About this bike

The Guv’nor is a direct nod to Britain’s cycling past. With its lugged steel frame, rod brakes and traditional detailing, it reflects a time when bicycles were built with simplicity and craftsmanship at their core.

Handbuilt in England, it offers a completely different riding experience — slower, more considered and deeply connected to the road.

What sets it apart

• Handbuilt in England
• Lugged steel frame with traditional construction
• Rod-operated braking system
• Single-speed simplicity
