It’s been four years since we first heard about the Heroïn bike. Since then it’s all been rather quiet from the almost haute couture brand. In that time it regrouped, re-visited it’s bike offering and is now under the guiding hand of Lee Prescott, Director of VeloAtelier, by appointment bike studio based in Warwick, for its bespoke bike fitting service. 

“The team at Heroïn Bikes have spent the last couple of years working on it’s production system” says Lee. “as a result they now have an exceptional carbon build, which I’d put on a par with the likes of Factor bikes, which are as clean on the inside as the external finish”.
