🚴‍♂️ What do the workshop mechanics ride?

We believe in riding what we sell and working on what we trust.

This is the workshop’s own Basso Diamante SV — or as the Italians say, Sempre Veloce (Always Fast).

As proud Basso stockists, we’re delighted to have this incredible machine available from the shop.

This particular build is kitted out with:

⚡ Vittoria Corsa Pro Control tyres
⚡ Holeshot FastFlow Tubeless Valves (Chris King colours)
⚡ Upgraded cranks
⚡ KMC Gold chain

Fast, responsive and effortlessly stylish, the Diamante SV delivers everything you’d expect from Italian performance engineering.

Pop into the shop and take a closer look.

🇮🇹 Sempre Veloce.

📸 Caught on camera.

We recently had a little shoot at the shop for an upcoming article, so we thought we’d share a sneak peek.

Big love to everyone who chooses to support independent bike shops—you’re the reason we get to do what we love. 💚

Shop local.

Ride local.

See you soon 👋

🚴‍♂️ New Bike Day for Robert! 🚴‍♂️

It was a long wait, but some things are definitely worth waiting for!

We’ve built Rob an absolute beauty, kitted out with a Shimano 105 groupset and a stunning set of ERE hoops that look the business. Every detail has come together perfectly, and we couldn’t be happier with the finished result.

We have no doubt this bike is going to turn plenty of heads out on the road. Enjoy every mile, Robert—and thanks for trusting us with your dream build!

May didn’t disappoint! ☀️🚴

The weather gods were certainly smiling on us, delivering sunshine in abundance and providing the perfect backdrop for a packed month of club rides.

Our trusty Sunday Socials and Thursday Thrashers continued to do what they do best, bringing together great people, great riding, and the occasional debate over whose turn it was to pull on the front.

We also squeezed in an epic adventure from Haslemere to Bognor Regis — plenty of miles, plenty of laughs, and more than a few well-earned café stop calories along the way.

The month’s introductory ride was bursting at the seams, with a fantastic turnout of new faces getting a taste of what the club is all about. Even better, our very first Femmes Ride was an absolute triumph. The atmosphere, support, and riding were everything we hoped for and more.

A massive thank you to everyone who joined, led, ride lead, encouraged, and helped make May such a memorable month.

More of the same please, June! 🌞🚲💨

3 Years Strong Velo 🚴‍♂️🖤💚

Three years ago, OneSixSix Velo opened its doors with a vision to create a bike shop that was about more than bikes. We wanted to build a welcoming space where riders of all abilities could come together, share their passion, find support, and be part of something bigger.

Looking back, we’re incredibly grateful for the support this shop has received from day one. Every coffee shared, every bike purchased, every service booked, every recommendation made, and every rider who has chosen to support local has helped shape OneSixSix Velo into what it is today.

What started as a bike shop has grown into a genuine community. Along the way we’ve made lasting friendships, shared unforgettable rides, and launched the OneSixSix Velo Club—something that has exceeded all our expectations. Watching the club grow and seeing so many people connect through cycling has been one of the most rewarding parts of this journey.

The support we’ve received from our customers, club members, local businesses, and the wider cycling community has been incredible. You’ve trusted us with your bikes, joined us on adventures, supported our events, and helped create an atmosphere that makes coming to work every day something we genuinely look forward to.

To everyone who has been part of the journey so far—thank you. This milestone belongs to all of us.

Three years. Three strong.

We’ve come a long way, but it feels like we’re only just getting started.

Where to next? 🚴‍♀️✨
