BIANCHI
Since 2012 the Bianchi Celeste has always been visible in the Windmill Wheels showroom. We were on board when they started their resurgence back to the pro peleton and we have seen the evolution of the Oltre, Infinito and Specialissma models and custom built many over the years.

When we opened the doors to Windmill Wheels in 2011 we already had Enigma lined up as our headline brand and is a partnership that’s still going strong. The UK manufacturer of fine Titanium and steel frames has a frame for everyone, whether it be from the core range or custom made in the UK from their Signature range, we can help you choose the right model.

TIME
2022 brings a new brand to the showroom and one we were really excited for, Time bikes!

Still designed and made in Europe by highly skilled engineers using a process similarly used in elite motorsports and aerospace. They can be admired in our showroom.

Still handmade in Italy their groupsets like Chorus, Record and Super Record are made to highest level with the finest materials and the Bora and Shamal wheels are some of the best performing road wheels out there. We stock a range of groupsets including the Ekar and a good selection of wheels too available on bikes and on the wheel wall. In the workshop you will find available plenty of spares ready for us to carry out professional servicing on your Campagnolo equipped bikes.

SHIMANO

All of our Bianchi, BMC and a lot of our Basso factory bikes come fitted with Shimano groupsets. We have good aftersales care and stock most spares to service the bikes too. Custom building is a big part of our business and we stock a range of Ultegra di2 and Dura Ace di2 components to add to your dream build list. The Shimano pedals are some of the best too and we stock a wide range.
-
SRAM
Sram had everyone else catching up when they released the game changing wireless shifting road groupsets. Although the newest to the cycling world compared to the other two major groupset brands they are probably now the most popular with modern cyclist looking for a bike or build with minimal looks and connectivity.

-
ASSOS
When choosing our cycling apparel for the store their was only one brand on our minds and that was Assos, most of us remember buying our first pair and feeling that great comfort and support not offered by other brands. Assos is buried deep into the history of cycling and played a significant part in introducing the lycra short and other technologies to the cycling world. It was Toni Maier who set on improving the materials riders were putting on their bodies. He looked at skiing for inspiration, drawn to the race suits being worn by the Swiss national team. He adapted the concept to cycling, developing the first Lycra shorts and anatomical skinsuit in the process. ASSOS was born.
We stock a huge range of accessories, bibshorts and bibtights from the Assos range.
-
SALICE
Still handmade in Italy the SALICE cycling glasses look stylish with various models that suit different faces and helmet styles offering great coverage and ventilation. High contrast lenses and a UV400 rating make these safe glasses and great value for money. We always have full stock of the Salice range including the helmets.

WHEELS
Wheels is the best upgrade you can make to any bike. We have tried lots of brands over the years and also as professional wheel builders can look at how well a wheel has been made and how long it will last. Alongside our Campagnolo and Enve wheels we also recommend Fast Forward and VeloElite wheels for their strength, servicing, low weight and of course speed.
-
TYRES
Tubeless tyres have made the road,gravel and mtb tyre categories even bigger now. We have tested so many over the years and have our favourites due to ease of fitting, longevity, speed, grip and the key puncture resistance. This is covered over so many brands so we stock a wide range. Scwhalbe Pro One Super Race TLE, Pirelli P-Zero TLR, Michelin Power Cup TLR, Continental GP5000s TR and Vittoria Corsa NEXT TLR are our key road tyres because of their hooked and hookless compatibility across numerous wheel brands. We then use these brands to cover our stock of Gravel, MTB and tube type road tyres. For the cyclocross fans we keep Challenge tubulars hanging on the wheel wall too.
-
WORKSHOP BRANDS
When it comes to servicing your bike we like to use manufacturer specific components unless a better alternative is found. Alongside Campagnolo, Shimano and Sram we also use Swissstop for brake pads, Capgo for cable solutions, C-bear, Hope and Rotor for Bottom Bracket solutions. Bearings are sourced from Enduro, NTN and SKF and we use Motorex greases and oils alongside Morgan blue for assembly. Bar tape is replaced using Lizard Skinz, Fizik or traditional cork tape.
