About

It's just about a love of bikes. Riding, building and playing with them. From trackers* in the late 70's, through BMX in the early 80's and all sorts of mountain bikes beyond. Having gone full circle, the focus is now on simple singlespeed and fixed wheel bikes, on and off-road. Tarmac, track, mountain.

At VeloSolo we distribute our own range of UK made precision bike components including drilled disc hub mount and standard threaded cogs as well as chainrings, handlebars and associated components. All UK manufactured and designed from start to finish - solid cro-mo steel bar and various aluminium alloy stock into the machine shop one end, finished components out the other. The disc mount system is about bringing an alternative to the traditional screw on fixed wheel cog for all cyclists - urban riders in the city, tourers on the open road or mountain bikers who want a simple way to try fixed wheel riding off-road.

In addition we are now retailing a growing range of fixed wheel and singlespeed products from other companies including Token, Sugino, MKS, Miche, Nitto, KMC, Suzue, Dia Compe, Onza, Andel, Pedro's, Izumi, Kalloy, Shimano, Tange, BBB, Hozan, Oury, Gebhardt, Deda, Velox etc.

Established in 2007, we are based a few miles' ride from central London, England in the peaceful Epping Forest area. We ship worldwide every day with customers in over 50 countries and across the USA.

Whatever your reasons for visiting the VeloSolo website we hope to offer a wealth of information and helpful service. All products have clear and honest descriptions together with numerous large clear photographs so you can see exactly what you are buying. We're fussy so and so's and do not sell anything we would not happily use on our own bikes. If you are new to singlespeed and fixed please be sure to check the faq for lots of helpful info. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to email.

*Remember these? Long before mountain bikes were 'invented' kids all over the land would strip an old road bike of its gears, add 'cow-horn' handlebars and 'cross tyres and venture off into the woods all day...

We endeavour to offer the very best service possible, below are some recent emailed comments from both UK and International customers:

Peter (Bristol, UK). This is my annual thank you to all of you for another year of great service and great parts. Once again we staged the old gits tour of Normandy, this time to the Suisse Normande region. All the other riders suffered some sort of mechanical problems, except me. So a big thanks to you for supplying top quality bits to a very happy customer! For the record, I did have to get off and push quite a lot but then so did chaps with 18 gears...

Rafael (Las Palmas, Spain). Everything arrived in perfect condition. Thanks for such an excellent service and prompt response to inquiries.

Yehuda (Israel). The goods arrived here at our village post office yesterday. The items look really good. I must say that you have a winning combination of service, quality and charm.

Wayne (London, UK). Hi, many thanks to all at VeloSolo for an excellent service, very quick reply to emails and a very swift delivery despite me ordering the item over the bank holiday.

Stephane (London, UK). Over the last few weeks, I have purchased quite a few parts for my new fixie project. I wanted to let you know that the service you provide is really of great quality.
