Handmade Steel Bikes: Gravel, All-Road, Touring & Adventure

Four steel bikes, each made for a different kind of riding and each built to order for you. Shand was founded in Scotland in 2003. Today our frames are hand welded in Glasgow, and every bike is engineered, machined, built and tested in Coventry.

All our bikes have adventure in their DNA. You can ride them on the road, but they really come into their own off the beaten track. It is no surprise that we were originally known as the “Adventure bike company”; our journey started with the desire to create cycles that capture the spirit of exploration and freedom, combined with the adaptability and the do-it-all attitude that our Shand team craved. And good to know, they’re fully manufactured right here in the UK.

Choosing your Shand

Why steel?

Steel gives a ride that’s smooth over rough ground and lively when you push on, and it’s built to last. Every Shand frame uses a custom mix of tubing from makers like Columbus and Reynolds, with each tube chosen for its job.

Rohloff or derailleur?

Every current Shand can be built with Shimano or SRAM gears, or upgraded to a 14-speed Rohloff Speedhub with Gates belt drive (+£955). Derailleurs are lighter and any bike shop knows them. A Rohloff keeps its gears sealed away from mud and weather and needs very little looking after, which is why long-distance tourers love it.

Size and fit

Choose from four standard sizes, S to XL, using the size guide on each bike page, or go fully custom with a frame built to your measurements (+£500). Not sure which fits? Call us and we’ll talk it through.

Colours

Six standard colours: Burnt Orange, Dark Grey, Olive, Powder Blue, Stone and Pigeon Blue. Or choose a custom colour of your own (+£150).

Ordering

Every Shand is built to order. A £1,500 deposit reserves your build, and we aim to deliver in 8 to 10 weeks. You can also buy through the Cycle to Work scheme and save up to 42%.

Where it’s made

Shand was founded in Scotland in 2003. Our frames are hand welded in Glasgow, and every bike is engineered, machined, built and tested in our Coventry workshop. You’re welcome to visit if you call ahead.

Which Shand is right for me?

I mostly ride gravel and want to go fast. Which Shand?

The Stramash. It takes tyres up to 50mm and is built for long, quick days off-road and bikepacking trips.

I want one bike for fast road rides and the odd gravel track.

The Stooshie. It’s quick on the road, takes 45mm tyres for rougher routes and has mudguard mounts for winter.

I’m planning a long tour with luggage.

The Stoater. It has mounts for racks, mudguards and three bottles, and the Rohloff option suits long trips where you want gears that need little looking after.

Can I use a Cycle to Work voucher?

Yes. Buying through Cycle to Work can save you up to 42%. See our Cycle to Work page for how it works.
