This is bigger than just Melbourne’s cycling sub-culture, of course; there’s been a measurable impact on bicycle culture and manufacturing output elsewhere.

From record players to coffee machines to vintage motorbikes, there are people restoring and optimising their projects, and cycling’s no different. For the 26” ‘community’ – I use that term loosely – things split broadly into the ‘period-correct’ crowd and the ‘restomod’ (restored & modified) crowd, with different demographics and ideologies behind each group.

Gear up for your next outdoor escapade and conquer the trails with confidence aboard one of our premium mountain bikes. Embrace the thrill of the ride and discover the perfect companion for your adrenaline-fueled adventures right here.
