The team behind custom bike brand Spoon and Gun Control Paint has launched a new collaboration with Enve in the UK. This sees a collection of leading brands get together to launch Unit2.cc, a new open-workshop concept in Surrey, England.
Housing Spoon’s new workshop and HQ, Unit2.cc is located in Puttenham near Guildford, just off the A3 in the heart of the Surrey Hills and will open its doors on Saturday, March 18th.
According to Spoon Customs… ‘It is the ultimate destination to see, test and design your own custom build, and to experience a curated range of the most exclusive bikes, frames and kit from Enve, Moots, Cooper, POC Sports and MAAP, alongside in-house brands Spoon Customs, W.Milla and Sharp Precision Wheels.
‘This personalised retail experience is surrounded by a working space where you can see your bike being designed, prepped, painted and built.’
Unit2 owner, Andy Carr, said “Like Race Service in LA, or Bike Shed in London, cycling needs spaces where creativity and craft can be celebrated and grow.
“Unit2.cc provides a space for that, where people, clubs, individuals and brands can come to access, share and experience custom bike products, ideas and culture. The new space will also make our processes way more efficient which will benefit all our customers.”
Enve’s new Melee road bike and recently-launched Mog Gravel bike will be available for test rides by appointment and can be built on site to riders’ specifications… ‘using the best components and groupsets available.’
For visitors, POC Sports and MAAP have capsule collections to try on and buy, with each refreshed monthly.
Unit2.cc is also the new home for Gun Control Custom Paint. The high-spec paint facility will handle custom paint work for the new Enve range as well as Spoon’s own handmade frames.
Work can also be commissioned on customer frames, and both Sam and Kayley – Gun Control’s paint technicians – are certified Cerakote Applicators, an advanced ceramic coating system which can be used to customise a range of bikes and components.
Unit2.cc’s workshop facilities are staffed by mechanics Glen Whittington and Brown Storie. There’s also free coffee, Wi-Fi and fresh pastries available. Additionally, the expertise on site includes appointments at MTCO, Spoon’s own bike fitting studio, run by Head Fitter Tony Corke.
