Meet Nik
A Lifetime on Two Wheels
If you've ever wandered into our workshop, chances are you've crossed paths with Nik and if you haven’t, it’s time you did. Nik is more than just our Workshop Manager and Rohloff service technician, he’s a true cycling lifer with a depth of experience that’s hard to match.
Nik’s journey on two wheels began at the age of 13 with a paper round, and he hasn’t stopped pedalling since. For over 35 years, he’s been immersed in the world of bikes: riding, racing, building, fixing, and learning. This hands-on history has given him an encyclopaedic knowledge of bike components and compatibility that spans decades and disciplines.
A passionate wheel builder, Nik has spent much of his career lacing spokes and fine-tuning builds for all kinds of riders. Whether you're building your dream road bike or setting up a rugged touring rig, he’s always happy to share his insights and help you get it just right.
Primarily a road rider, Nik has also spent time racing both road and mountain bikes. His personal collection over the years has included over 150 bikes from classic steel and cutting-edge carbon to the downright quirky. Yes, he’s ridden everything from unicycles to penny farthings and has even been spotted cruising in a velomobile.
Beyond the bikes themselves, Nik has a strong background in dynamo hub lighting and charging systems, making him a go-to resource for anyone planning long-distance or off-grid adventures.
Whether you need expert advice on your next build, a perfectly tensioned wheel, or help with a Rohloff hub or dynamo setup, Nik’s your man. Stop by the workshop and say hello - just don’t be surprised if the conversation turns into a deep dive into bike tech history.
