Some Retrobikes passing through Bikeworkshop in Bristol

Charming tourer awaiting some modernisation.
We haven't identified the brand yet. Allez Dropouts, the unusual double eyes on the fork could have been prior to repaint

Didn’t (don’t) Argos make bikes as well as paint them?

 

[bikeworkshop]

This is a renovation, but indeed Argos used to make a few frames, but not so much now, really because there's so much choice in steel available from factories at a fraction of the cost of UK hand-built.

I just got in a custom argos early disc road bike - picture soon.

Mini-haul from Gloucester
Pretty little bear Valley,
early v-brake, 96?
Don't we love Stx-rc
and nice condition

Cannondale m500, 1993?
One owner...
Fantastic, popping paint,
double-rocker!

Rockers were so popular in 93, surprising really as they don't actually make any difference

The crackendale is lovely.

You a Rockerman Bob?

Probably get shouted down and/or banned for this but.........

I much prefer the simpler look of most of the Marin's to the brash in your face shine of the GT Zaskars etc

You a Rockerman Bob?

No I agree with you, more complex, more friction. Darwin award.

Little old ridgeback with the paris metro style decal.
All major bearings forked, plus pads, cables - hard to fix under£250
Luckily the customer loves it so it will live on!

 

[bikeworkshop]

And a totally different end of the spectrum
Almost 20 years old, but early for disc road, custom argos bike currently on 30s and a manly 50t

Military chic, very nice!
