GUNN BICYCLES

One-of-a-kind bicycles designed and made in our workshop in Essex, England. Designed for the discerning person who appreciates exclusivity. Each bike is hand-built using an original vintage frame into a ride that blends heritage and beautiful design. They offer a story, a piece of history and a slice of art, all wrapped up in an extraordinary cycling experience that is exclusive to you.

Gunn Bicycles - A Name Rooted in British Heritage.

A Gunn Bicycle carries both personal and historical significance. While "Gunn" represents my surname, it is also a tribute to another of my passions: the iconic Cyclecar, and in particular the legendary British automotive brand of GN - renowned for its simple chain drive cars and engineering innovation. This homage is reflected not only in the brand’s name but also in the bicycle's logo and badge, which pay tribute to the incredible legacy of GN cars. Just like those historic vehicles, a Gunn Bicycle embodies the perfect balance of history, performance, and difference for the person who seeks something truly unique.

Vintage Frames, Reborn with Careful Craftsmanship.

At the core of each Gunn Bicycle is a carefully selected vintage frame and front fork, chosen for its classic features and history. These frames are given a new life and individually reconfigured by myself to accommodate today’s modern components. This fusion of timeless vintage design and modern craftsmanship creates a bespoke cycling experience that delivers the best of both worlds: the timeless charm of a vintage bicycle, with the performance of today’s technology.

For the person who looks for elegance and exclusivity, riding a Gunn Bicycle is more than just transportation — it’s a statement of style.


Components individually selected.

When it comes to beautiful bicycles, every detail counts. Each bicycle is fitted with components that are carefully chosen from long-standing and respected manufacturers within the cycling industry. These parts are not just selected for their technical performance, they are chosen for their design and to complement the aesthetic of each frame.

From Brooks leather saddles to carefully matched drive systems, every element of each bicycle is designed to enhance the ride experience, combining beauty with impeccable functionality. Every bicycle is fitted with a handmade silver-plated head badge, hand die-stamped in our workshop using a traditional hand operated fly-press - something that distinguishes the Gunn Bicycle from others. This attention to detail ensures that your bicycle offers an unrivalled blend of style and individuality, whether you’re looking to ride through the city, explore the countryside or simply admiring it on the wall of your office.


Customisation - A Bicycle as Unique as You.

No two bicycles are exactly the same, and each offers a blank canvas for you to personalise according to your taste and preferences. I work closely with each customer to ensure each bicycle reflects their individual style, whether that is sleek minimalism or something more artistic. I see each frame as a hanger for components and the parts are chosen accordingly.

For those seeking an extra touch of opulence, there are plans in the future for silver jewellery embellishments on the more elaborate designed frames and lugs—elevating your bicycle into a rolling piece of art. Customisation of each bicycle is about making a ride that is as distinctive as its rider.


Hand-Built in England - Tradition and Innovation.

As the cycle expert for BBC’s The Repair Shop, each bicycle is a testament to my passion for restoring and reinventing vintage frames, combining heritage with the precision of modern components.
