18 Bikes - our bike brands! Cotic, Nicolai, Saracen, Santa Cruz, Ragley, Genesis, Transition
Custom built bikes is really our thing, but alongside this service we offer plenty of choice of "off-the-peg" models - from various brands. We've put together some pages on the individual brands - see the links below, or get in touch to chat options.
Off the Peg - ready to roll! Even on these models, we can often work a little custom magic, swap those pedals/tyres out, swap stems, get the bike a little better suited to you.
Genesis - we love their UK designed hardtails, for 2011 the range grows further, with even more choice for the commute, 'cross and singlespeed bikes too.
Santa Cruz - Santa Cruz UK now offer off the peg builds, or there's an in between option using a choice of build kits/colours/forks to get some choice
Saracen - new to 18 Bikes, comes the return of Saracen, with the award winning Ariel and all new, top value Myst downhill bike
Cotic - in addition to the MTB range, the Roadrat and X are also available as complete bikes.
Transition - relatively new to the UK (and 18 Bikes) - Transition are now also offering a range of complete bikes.
Custom Builds - for when a standard bike just isn't good enough - or of course, as frame only. Check out this page for details and examples.
