P A N A H A M M E R U L T I M A T E . Hose Delete / Re-spray / Re-build . In 2020 I built my 13th frame – an original Hammer for a customer who had a great paint scheme in mind. He wanted to replicate the 531 Raleigh Panasonic that he had, as his first proper bike back in the day. So, we built a brand-new frame to his design, with skinny 853 Team tubing, my signature Valknut rear end, and an up-to-date version of the original paint 🔥 . Fast forward to 2026 and Del’s bike-fit has changed and so has the available equipment – we needed to raise the front end a little, and so I suggested we remove the hoses at the same time! If you’re going to fit a new fork, may as well make it and internally routed one! We made a window inside the headtube for the hose to run and filled the existing hole with silver. Then we got our pens out and got creative with the original design, along with some modern racing designs that caught our eye, and then we took it down to FatCreations for a fresh lick of paint 🎨 . For the rebuild we used a deeper set of DT Swiss rims which we had treated with Cerakoat, and then we rebuilt these with the original Chris King hubs, and some fresh Sapim CX-Ray spokes. We cleaned and serviced the original SRAM Red components, which have the perfect mix of chrome and organic surfaces to make them hint at the original groupset from back in the day – silver pulleys from Hope work really well. Likewise, we used some shiny finishing kit from Ritchey, and a modern up-to-date narrow carbon bar, naturally with some classic white Supacaz tape . Re-spray / Re-builds are a great way to bring your bike up to date, especially if the frame is a keeper. We offer this service on all brands, and all types of bike, so if you love your bike, but it needs a spruce up, get in touch and we can chat through the options. The paint can be as mild or as wild as you’d like, and we can upgrade as much or as little as you need/want! . @fatcreations @aeightbikeco #borninracing #madeinsweetsussex by @aeightbikeco

T A U R U S P R E P . A couple of weekends ago @dennisashley_ and I headed down to the Hill, partly to help @jesseyates_ and @liamyates prep for @taurusmountainrace , but mostly for the vibes. You learn the most when it's chill and you're with good people . We stuck some kit on the bikes and spun down over Ashdown, before grabbing some snacks and heading up onto the Downs. Hanging out around the bivvys made for such a rad evening, chatting bikes, kit, and retelling stories . On Wednesday, Liam and Jesse head in to the mountains in Turkey for what looks like a brutal first edition of the latest Mountain Race. A night in Sweet Sussex probably didn't replicate what they're heading for, but it was definitely a much needed escape for all four of us. It reminded us to make the most of every day . L F G lads 👊 . #AEIGHTBIKECO #borninracing #madeinsweetsussex taken in Long Man of Wilmington by @aeightbikeco

I N S U S S E X S T E E L W E T R U S T 🔥 . New Blog (link in bio) . "Our ÄXE Platform combines modern XCO race geometry with a slightly longer wheelbase, a steep seat angle and a slack (but not too slack) head angle which makes the bike highly stable when racing, without affecting it's ability to shred trails. The VÅLKNUT rear end keeps everything stiff whilst delivering big clearance. Reynolds 853 tubes are filet brazed to produce perfect smooth tube transitions. 29er wheels as standard, boost spacing, a 120mm fork and all our frames are bespoke to you, the rider, providing a perfect fit." . #AEIGHTMANUFACTORY #sussexsteel #AEIGHTBIKECO #borninracing #madeinsweetsussex by @aeightbikeco

G O L D F 1 N C H I M P E R I A L R O U B A I X . We took this S-WORKS Roubaix and deleted the unnecessary hose and frame ports, before sending it down to FatCreations for a makeover. Crayon Grey and custom logos were lovingly applied whilst we serviced the groupset 🎨 . Then we rebuilt it with the customers original SRAM Red AXS, Quarq PM, Zipp 353 NSW wheels, Schwalbe Pro One TLE tyres, Supacaz tape, and Specialized Finishing Kit. Ready to enjoy those winter miles 🔥 . If you have a bike which you're happy with, bit it needs a freshen up, get in touch. We can do it as mild, or as wild as you like - we'll help with the design, and sort out all the details. We work with various trusted painters to deliver what you're after 👊 . @aeightbikeco #borninracing #madeinsweetsussex taken in Death Star by @aeightbikeco

L E A D O U T L 2 P O F F R O A D S U P P O R T . A week ago we supported the @leadout.events London to Paris Off-Road. A four day breeze along gravel tracks and quiet lanes from capital to capital. The vibes were chilled and between us and the Ride Captains no problems went unsolved! 🍻 . We saw the 50 riders at 4 or 5 stops each day, as well as attending some adhoc emergencies! These events are great for people wanting to push themselves that bit further, because you're fairly self-sufficient, but we're always there just in case! 🛠 . Working with Leadout is always a pleasure.... where do we go next? . We also got a chance to try @endurosealuk - first impressions of this South African developed sealant are really good and we'll be experimenting with it in our own bikes through the winter 🔥 . @aeightbikeco #borninracing #madeinsweetsussex .
