Workshop, not showroom
Everything here happens in a real Derbyshire garage: bikes stripped on the bench, parts cleaned and checked, and honest descriptions on every listing. If a part has a mark or a wear point, you will see it in the photos.
The whole process is filmed for The Retirement Garage, so you can see exactly where your parts came from.
