Our Story

Saint Piran Service Course

Born in Cornwall, shaped by the coast and moors, and driven by community—Saint Piran Service Course is where bikes, riders and good coffee meet. We’ve grown from a spark of local passion into a home for performance, service, and the simple joy of riding.

Who we are

We’re riders, mechanics, baristas, and friendly faces who believe cycling should feel welcoming—whether you’re riding to the café, chasing a PB, or discovering a new trail with friends. Our roots run deep in Cornwall. The sea, the granite tors, the changing weather—they’ve taught us resilience, creativity, and that a good brew and a well-tuned bike can turn any day around.

From day one, we set out to bring world-class bikes and honest service to our local community—and to anyone who shares our love of two wheels. Today, that same spirit powers everything we do, online and in store.

     From local spark to service course

What began as a Cornish cycling hub grew into a full ecosystem—retail, service, café, and hire—designed around the rider’s journey. 

     Racing heritage with Saint Piran Pro Cycling

Our racing chapter helped shape our standards for performance and preparation. Note: Saint Piran Pro Cycling Team closed in October 2024, but its legacy—attention to detail, grit, and ambition—lives on in how we serve riders today.

     Online, in Cornwall, and beyond

We’ve built a modern online store alongside destination spaces in Cornwall—so you can discover, test, service, and ride with us however suits you.

Our racing legacy: Competing at a high level sharpened the way we select bikes, build wheels, service reliably, and advise honestly. You’ll feel it in every interaction.

What we do now

Our mission is simple: make it easier—and more enjoyable—for you to ride. We’ve brought everything under one roof (and URL):

Performance Bikes

We stock leading bikes—from everyday endurance to pro-level aero and capable gravel. Expert, no-pressure guidance to match your fit, goals, and budget.

Parts & Accessories

From cockpit to drivetrain, tyres to tech—we carry trusted brands and the small finishing bits that dial in your setup.

Servicing & Workshop

Wheel trues, brake bleeds, full rebuilds. Transparent quotes, meticulous work, fast turnarounds—so you spend more time riding.

Café & Community

Great coffee, proper food, trail access, and friendly faces. It’s where rides start, stories end, and plans are made for the next one.
