Cleland Cycles was set up by designer and cycling enthusiast Geoff Apps in the early 1980's. Read more about Geoff Apps.
Geoff was developing his bikes at the same time as Gary Fisher, Charlie Kelly, Tom Richey et al were customising their clunkers and tearing down the Repack course. Read more about the history of Cleland cycles.
Images, and hopefully before too long, details of the bikes can be viewed here.
I'm intending to post as many images of Cleland bikes as I can to the Cleland Cycles flickr set. You can see a slideshow below or visit the set on the flickr website.
This year the annual Cleland reunion ride will be on Sunday 7th December 2008. Come an join Geoff on the 'Birthday Ride' - the annual chance for Cleland owners, and anyone who used to join Geoff on his 'Regular Monthly Rides,' to meet up again. THis year the ride is on Sunday 9th December. As is the tradition, the ride will start from the tea rooms (formerly the Langdon Tea Rooms) located at the junction of London road and the High Street. 10.30 for a 11.00am start.
