I had the rare opportunity to work on a J.Laverack handmade custom titanium bike yesterday.
Preparing it for a ride of exploration from Manchester, through the UK, France and Northern Spain, to Barcelona, where its owner with take the ferry over to its final destination, Ibiza !
Built with reliability, strength and endurance in mind, this hand built British beauty has a full compliment of Hope tech components, matched up with a super reliable 105 Di2 Groupset.
This is one of a pair of bikes i've serviced for the journey. Im looking forward to seeing lots of photos and hearing how Adrian and Eddie get on with their travels.

Another block of racing completed with USA Cycling, this time with the Elite Women's, and a 2 day excursion with the USA Paracycling team.
Starting out at the UCI Paracycling World Cup in Oostende, Belgium, I supported the team with the very busy TT schedule. A great opportunity to work with adapted bikes, and the athletes who ride them. A very successful 2 days, with riders on the podium across all categories.
Next I joined the Elite women, where we travelled to Luxembourg 🇱🇺 and Czechia 🇨🇿 for the Elsy Jacobs Festival (2 x UCI 1.1s) and Tour de Feminine (UCI 2.2)
The riders pulled out some great results against World Tour teams in Luxembourg, with Kat Sarkisov 8th on day 1, and Lidia Cusack 7th on day 2.
In between the races some of the team took part in Belgian Kermesses. The highlights of whoch were Kat Ruschs 1st and 4th places, in Hoeleden and Lutlommel respectively.
Finally we took a trip to Czechia where the riders were joined by Kate Courtney (current World champion in the MTB Marathon) who was competing in road race for the first time. The race started with a TTT (rare nowadays) followed by 3 grippy road stages (5000m + climbing over the 4 days)
TTT day went well with a time that would have won in 2025. It was good enough for 6th on the day behind the winning Belgian team who went 50s quicker than the previous year. The riders settled into the race on day 2, but it was stage 3 and 4 where we had our best success.
Stage 3 was dominated by a breakaway group including Kat Sarkisov. She managed 5th on the day behind the Norwegian winner. The cream rose to the top on the final day, with Kate Courtney taking the win from a 3 rider breakaway. followed by Kat S, taking her successive 5th place in 2 days, and moving her upto 9th on GC after 4 of the most difficult stages of women's racing I've seen.

After some hard thinking about my toolbox and the need for an update i finally commissioned a piece from . I already have a roll for the team car for races, but after working out, that with a tool roll rather than a box, I can carry more tools and save the 5kg weight of my Park tool box. A no brainer!!
Thanks to and for the inspiration. It'll serve me well im sure !!

My first chance to work with the team at the UCI Paracycling World Cup in Gistel, Belgium.
Supporting the riders in the TTs (Road races to come later in the week) we achieved great success.
1 x🥇3 x 🥈and 2 x 🥉
Some disappointments too, but thats bike racing !
What these athletes achieve, is so inspiring, and some of their backstories are the things of Hollywood movies. So proud to have had the opportunity to work with these guys and I hope to do so again in the future.

Lots of Gravel bikes this week in the workshop. 🚵♂️🚵♀️🚵
Firstly a Liv which arrived for some upgrading. A new GRX 400 groupset with much needed hydraulic brakes. This will give its owner way more confidence on descents. Something they've had a hard time with on Tektro cable discs.
Next a Northroad Titanium gravel bike. This time being prepared for the Dirty Reiver gravel race (and later Gralloch) New vittoria inserts will give the bike a little more protection.
Finally a Trek Domane. Now with 35mm tubeless gravel tyres. This bike is off to Italy to do some Tuscan adventure riding. It'll be more than adequate for those Strada Bianca now.
⚠️ Booking now for the 20th of May so get in touch to schedule your next service or to discuss any bike/wheel build projects.⚠️
