Sunday 13th March saw the Grand Opening of Gorilla Firm Cycling’s extended shop. The Stoke Doyle-based husband and wife team, Linds Moules and Justine Perkins, first opened their shop at The Wharf in Oundle in August 2012. This initial shop now holds the work and frame-fitting shop for the massive two-floor showroom stocking a wide range of bikes, components, accessories & clothing. From entry level through to state-of-theart competition cycles, Gorilla Firm Cycling specialises in road, racing & time-trial bikes and can source or build you your perfect bike. Linds and Justine pride themselves on providing great service and making sure that any bike you buy from them not only meets your exact requirements, but also fits you perfectly.
They have chosen their brands carefully and will not sell products that they are not prepared to stand by. Whether you buy off the shelf or go bespoke, they want to ensure that you and your bike have a lengthy and happy relationship.
Gorilla Firm Cycling offers a free bike-fit with every bike, and then get you both back for a free six-week check to ensure that everything is working as it should be. Bike brands include Colnago, Cipollini, Cervelo, Storck, LOOK, Van Nicholas, Cannondale, Argon18 and Ritte. The pride of place of the new larger showroom is the state-of-the-art GURU FIT SYSTEM™ which enables cyclists of all ages and experience levels to find the perfect bike and riding position to match their personal preferences.
Linds was originally a builder, tired of spending winters on cold wet roofs. A committed runner, he took up cycling following a knee operation and loved it with a passion. When the opportunity at The Wharf came up, it just seemed to be fate, and Linds and Justine decided to overcome their initial lack of retail experience and follow their dream. The couple have loved every minute of their venture, met some wonderful people and made some great friends.
Gorilla Firm Cycling arranges regular Sunday and Wednesday rides, sportive events and turbo training sessions during the winter months. Upcoming events include Demo Days, where you can test ride a superbike. Booking highly recommended.
