Trillion Cycles launches range of GB-made bikes
New British brand Trillion Cycles has launched a range of bikes that are made in Leamington Spa, Warwickshire. The range was on display at the London Bike Show held at ExCeL last Thursday – Sunday.
We’ve reported on Trillion before. The brand, supported by Sanjeev Gupta’s Liberty House group, plans to increase the UK content of its bikes as the group’s manufacturing businesses expand the capability to produce the parts.
The bikes on display in London, only completed the day before the show opened, were all steel framed although titanium and carbon-fibre bikes are planned. Here are three of them.
The Delta (both of the above bikes are Deltas) is described as “a handbuilt, versatile 1x11 gravel bike constructed from high quality Reynolds 631 steel”. It is designed to take 40mm tyres and the frameset is £1,350. Complete builds cost from £2,500.
The Zeta is a road frame made from Reynolds 631. It takes tyres up to 28mm. The frameset is £1,500 with complete builds from £2,800.
The Node is an urban singlespeed made from Reynolds 525 steel. Framesets are £750 with complete builds available from £1,300.
The Trillion Cycles website is up and running although it still lacks details on the individual models. The plan is for those to be added over the next couple of weeks.

But Rich already has told you were lying about that. He's posted it so it must be right.
Torx bolts are becoming new the standard, I got myself as lovely set of Wera ones, much as hex took over. I have less need of my set of spanners...
I know people want value, but that could really do with hydraulic brakes. Worth an extra £100. Great flexibility with the mounts though.
But if you look at the stats drivers who passed there tests 20-40 years ago are not high risk groups....
"Career politicians out of touch", you say? Say it ain't so...!
He was probably on his way to Barnard Castle.
Indexed?! What's wrong with proper friction levers, on the down tube where they belong too?
Even if it was turned into a cycle lane, cars would still park on it.
As with other replies - very personal. I've had Enduras, which were nice, but the Raphas were waaay nicer....
