Frame building will be taught by legendary frame builder Brian Curtis as evening classes and short weekday courses. Each student will make a Bicycle Academy designed frame (designed specifically for use in Africa) which will then be built up into a working bike before being distributed to people in Africa via partnering charities.

Your local bike shop probably doesn’t stock these items - nothing essential, but all very nice nevertheless!

Concepts based around the 28" 3 speed hubbed wheel, also mixing old with new. Using remakes of older style components i.e. Sturmey Archer, with NOS components. My influence has been very much around the old style French/ British bikes as you can see with the "Porteur" and "Roadster". I have built the bikes for my own use and interest. It is about the design and creation of something hopefully people will consider as beautiful. I have wanted to keep all contruction and finishing of the bikes centered around "Coventry". Frame build Lee Cooper, Custom Paint John West Wheels build Paul White, Design Alex Hatfield.

Strada Hand Built Wheels has been launched to reintroduce the benefits of hand built wheels to cyclists who may not have considered them before. After the frame, the wheel of your bike is the most critical component in how it rides and handles so we consider your weight, height, physique, power, type of bike and type of road surface before selecting a rim, hub and spokes to build a wheelset to match you perfectly. All wheels built to 0.05mm true with a lifetime free truing policy.
