Made In England: The artisans behind the hand-built bicycle

Price: 
£35.00

'Made In England' is a big and beautiful book that showcases the frame builders, artisans if you will, behind the British hand-built steel bicycle.

Charlie the Bikemonger Wisecracker spacer bottle opener

Price: 
£9.99

The Charlie the Bikemonger Wisecracker spacer bottle opener is a natty piece of machined aluminium that will come in handy when you stop for a bottle of your favourite Belgium import beer.

No more chipped teeth or bent keys trying to lever off a bottle top ghetto style.

This neat device is a 3mm, 1 1/8inch headset spacer (I know, a miss match of imperial and metric units but this is how it is) with a pokey out bit (technical wordage) that can prize open the lid on a bottle (bottle opener).
