What We Do
At Sam Makes Bikes, we take old, tired bicycles and turn them into head-turning rides for a sunny weekend spin. Based in Glasgow, we’re all about creating bikes that are as fun to look at as they are to ride - putting a special emphasis on quality components.
We want you to see your bike and be excited to hop-on and ride.
Who’s Behind It
Hi, I’m Sam - the guy behind the bikes, the website, and everything else. I’ve been cycling since my teens, fixing bikes since my early twenties, and building bikes for the past few years. I’m not a hardcore commuter or a speedy racer; I just think bikes are a sweet-looking, fun, and environmentally friendly-way to get around.
I started this venture to create high-quality, unique bikes that people want to ride. No grand mission, no world-changing goals — just good bikes.
How We Do It
Each of our refurbished bikes is carefully restored, with every bike going on its own unique journey — some longer than others. We aim to produce a new bike each week though sometimes, like buses, a few might come along at once.
Every one of our refurbished bikes is a one-off customisation so to stay updated on our latest bike drops, follow us on social media or join our mailing list — it’s the best way to catch our newest creations.
