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.
