Training
SMBLA – Scottish Cycling are part of British Cycling and are the NGB (National Governing Body) for mountain bike leadership qualifications. Although some commercial organisations offer mountain bike qualifications, SMBLA are the original and offer the most complete training in the sport through the established SMBLA scheme (Scottish Mountain Bike Leaders Award)

curtis – quality UK framebuilder. I don’t own one, yet, but like the everything for a reason attitude. On the list if I ever need a replacement hardtail
velvet cycles – small US custom builder. Mostly road bikes pictured on the site, but will build anything. Straightforward, nice but commonsense attitude. Frames look unique & amazing quality, didn’t think I liked lugged frames until I saw these
