History

Established in 1955.

The frame builder, Harry Hall, was an amateur racing cyclist who opened a shop in Manchester in 1957 and started producing custom built frames which were used by many of the top cyclists of the time. Harry gained a reputation as a top mechanic and he and his shop became famous for providing a neutral service vehicle (a mini) at many UK events. Harry was also mechanic to Tom Simpson during the ill-​fated 1967 Tour de France.

Harry retired from the shop in 1989, started racing again and amongst his victories included the British National & World Age Related Championship.

Sadly, Harry died in 2007, but his shop «Harry Hall Cycles» still exists in Manchester and is run by his son Graham.
