This lush Cotic Bicycles Solaris demo is on loan to us for a couple of weeks, if anyone’s keen for a spin?!

It’s a C2 with a lovely Shimano/SID Ultimate spec

Early September can only mean one thing, it’s time for the Biggest little race! Steel City Downhill is on Saturday 5th September, so we’ll be closed all day. If you’ve never been, it’s a mini-DH event in Greno Woods, Sheffield - with proceeds from the race going back to the trail in Greno.

You can find out more about Steel City over on the website, Facebook or Instagram

It’s a local event that we love to support, this year we’re sponsoring the Master 40 category. Si’s one of the race organisers, so if you’re at the race be sure to call by the merch stand and say hi (buy some merch too, of course!)

Watch out for Kenzo and Archie, both racing under the Team 18 banner

Today we’re saying bye to as he leaves us for greener pastures

He’s probably fettled your suspension but he’s also an expert in making feet for spray bottles and he’s nearly recovered from doing the internal cable routing on a Scott earlier this year (this may or may not be why he’s leaving 😂)

Good luck in your new endeavour and keep inviting us to all things bosunsound

As a result of this we’re going to be a bit slower in the workshop for the rest of August and will be publishing new opening hours for September onwards - keep an eye out for another post about that

Today marks 20 years of 18 Bikes

Thank you to all our customers, whether you’ve been with us since the Aladdin’s cave of the old stables or only found us recently, you’re the reason we’re still here after all this time

Should we redo the original T-shirt design that got us our name?

KAVENZ Mountainbike have launched the VHP X frame and our demo frame should hopefully come from the first batch!

We’ll be building it with conventional gears and 154mm travel but should we go mullet or full 29? Fox, Rockshox, EXT, Manitou? Hope V6Ti brakes? Tell us how you’d spec it in the comments!!!
