Our charter

Our motto, Ride your own way, means we’re about no-nonsense, good, honest service that gets you or keeps you on your treasured treadly.

We’re discerning enthusiasts. We ride and race. 

We’re chest-puffingly independent. We’ve got chains but we’re not a chain store. We recommend and stand by what we sell—the best products and the best brands at prices that just keep us in business. We don’t stock crap …  sorry, generic or inferior stuff. 

We sponsor athletes, support local community groups, coffee shops, bakeries and sporting clubs, and contribute to charities.  

 Staff

  The Croydon crew attending a Fat tyre Flyers club event.

MICK

Michael Jamison is Croydon Cycleworks. He’s donned the green’n’gold and had medals bunged on him at elite senior national level both on the road and cross country. 

Mick’s been sticking his fingers into bikes for over 20 years. He and big bro Simon created Australia’s first MTB-only store, the infamous Victorian Mountain Bike Centre, before Mick opened Triathlete, Melbourne ’s first total triathlon shop.

He and Simon ran the Fat Tyre Flyers during the first mountain bike boom, creating the nation’s biggest mountain bike club. 

Despite drinking heaps on swim legs, Mick’s a regular triathlete and completed his first ironman event about five minutes ago. 

Micks catchphrase "You don't have to be crazy to work here, but it helps".

NICK

Front-of-house is Big Nick Thompson, three-time ironman finisher, a straight-talkin’ dude who has plenty of good advice to offer.

Before pacing the Cycleworks floor Nick rearranged people’s gardens, planting bicycles wherever possible. He fancies athletic redheads, refuses to own a gas-guzzler, and spends his spare time wistfully staring at a poster of Lance.

Nicks catchphrase "I'll have a jumbo sausage roll thanks".

Francesca Wellington

Finally some feminine charm and brains return to Croydon Cycleworks. Raised in a family of nuclear physicists, Francesca is bright as a button and smart as a whip. Enjoys long training rides and talking about carbon fiber modulus, tyre performance and gear ratios.

Francescas catchphrase is "Ax² + Bxy + Cy² + Dx + Ey + F = 0"

James (Fudd) Aylmer

Meet Croydon Cycleworks new workshop manager. Born with greasy hands, and raised on the cold windswept plains of Victorias western districts, James body grew and evolved into a skinny stick like cyclist so as to better slice through the headwinds. A talented elite mountain biker, he suffered a collapsed lung after a nasty accident, but this has only slowed him a little.

James catchphrase is unintellagable.

Steve "Doc" Johnson

They don't come any more worldly wise or battle hardened than the Doc. If hair loss was an indicator of experience, then Steve is our veteran champion of all time. His combination of superior intelect, mechanical skill (a surgeons hands after all) and youthful good looks matched to a sparkling personality make an unbeatable combo. Lucky we've only got him 2 days a week!

  Alex

The youngest member of the Croydon Cycleworks swine crew, our Alex knows his stuff, and can talk at length on any cycling related subject (although non-cycling topics will be met with monosyllabic grunts). And yes girls he is single at the moment, though he does have a significant collection of bikes which he is quite attached to.

Alex's catchphrase is unintelligable

• We can whack a patch on a puncture or custom-build a machine from concrete to crotch.
• Dang-fool fiddly bits like hydraulic suspension and disc brakes? No Problemo.
• We build and repair wheels—ooh, the joy of a pair of quality custom wheels!

We can fix almost any bike in under 24 hours. Call us on 9723 5164 to discuss your requirements. Allow a bit longer if you’ve got a seriously buckled fuselage.

Optimum riding position (wheel good posture) improves comfort and performance, and reduces injury risk. You’ll get more from your bike, your cycling and your effort. 

Book a fitting. Allow 60 minutes and $95 including GST. Hey, it’s an investment and much cheaper than shelling out a squillion on a new machine.  Phone 9723 5164.
