Studio · London SE1

Arch 31. Ropewalk Yard, SE1.

A Victorian railway arch, four minutes from London Bridge. The fit studio is at the front, the welding bay at the back, and the kettle in the middle.

Inside a London railway arch: the pale grey fit studio in front, the titanium workshop and frame jig at the back.

Four people. All of them ride what they build.

Book any of us. We all fit, two of us weld.

Physio first, fitter second. Ines spent eight years treating riders' knees before she started fixing their bikes instead. She still reads every fit sheet before it leaves the arch.

The welding bay at the back of the arch: a titanium frame in a steel jig, tube racks, an argon bottle and the framebuilder at the bench under a work lamp.

Front for fitting. Back for welding.

Everything happens under one arch: the fit, the drawing, the welding and the build. You can watch your frame being made, and most riders do.

Fit studio

A trainer, a 3D camera and a wall of saddles to try.
