Langsett Cycles Ltd

General information

Langsett Cycles is one of the oldest cycle shops in the country. It began trading around 1890 on Langsett Rd and moved the present Infirmary Rd premises in 1930 and has been a integral part of cycling in the Yorkshire/Derbyshire area ever since.

Back in the 1950's & 60's the famous Langsett of Sheffield Frames were made on the premises. These were treasured possessions for those lucky enough to get their hands on them or who could afford them! and they were a common site on the podium at all the top races throughout the country.

During the 1980's Langsett Cycles were at the forefront of the BMX revolution and were certainly responsible for the huge uptake of the sport in the area with its successful race team.

To more recent times now and the advent of Mountain Bikes, again Langsetts were at the forefront of the sport with a combination of top brands and riders we were definitely a force to be reckoned with.
One of our Proudest achievements was the discovery of 2 old Langsett Boys namely Steve Peat and Will Longden. Steve and Will were weedy little teenagers when they first started to come into the shop, but as soon as you so them on a bike it was clear to see they had something special.
Though our sponsorship and backing they went from strength to strength as can be seen from the long list of successful results in National and International events, finally resulting with Steve becoming World Downhill Champion in 2009 .

We do not just cater for World Champions we have a very friendly & loyal workforce that have all worked in the shop for over 15yrs so they really know there stuff, wether it be a bolt for your kids stabilisers or help setting up the suspension on your new mountain bike.
