About 18 Bikes

18 Bikes is a mountain bike shop in the Peak District, we also manufacture our own frames.  We sell Santa Cruz, 18 Bikes, Marin, Hope and Genesis bikes - along with associated accessories, clothing and parts.  We’re service led - offering advice, experience and the chance to demo bikes from the shop and on our demo days. We have an extensive workshop offering everything from basic setups and puncture repair to suspension repairs, frame bearing replacement, wheel building and more.

As a small, family owned business we’re keen to find someone to fit in as part of our team - working with us rather than for us.  We’ve always involved staff in decision making and planning and plan to continue that with this role. Due to the size of thel business, the work will be varied and include retail/sales work - but will consist primarily of workshop/repairs.
