And then there’s…
There’s one other thing in my life and it’s the bike shop I own.
Slam69.co.uk is in my name but thats about it,
My granddaughter, Millie runs it, along with her other half Aaronn, her father Pete and our mechanic Luke.
Slam69 kicked off as a workshop/wheelbuilder business and it still is a major part of the business, the other half is the online store, which carries a lot of great product, mainly for offroad cycling but go take a look for yourself.
