I started working with Saint Piran at the Tour of Norway (hence the nickname "Norwegian Glen") and quickly settled into the SP family. I hadn't planned on doing so much but the riders and staff are genuinely great to work with and I immediately felt at home. I'm lucky to be working with such a passionate bunch and I'm looking forward to 2024. 

Glen's an ex-racer who still finds time to ride bikes for #SDWRacing. He started racing in 1998, initially specialising in XCM and Solo 24-Hour Mountain Bike. He became a mechanic in 2002, working in shops and also for professional race teams. During this time he spent more time racing XCO, ‘Cross and Road, and then also TT. In 2013 he built his first bespoke frame and then spent several years learning the art. Since then he’s designed, tested and now sells frames/bikes to the public as part of his ÆIGHT brand. But ÆIGHT is much more than just a workshop - we nurture local riders of all ages, giving them a headstart in racing with support, mentoring and of course top quality bikes.
