Gloria is back in Central London
If you're in London and on the hunt for a Titanium bike, you're in luck! Gloria bikes have returned to their spiritual home and are available to view in Fulham again. For those in the competitive road racing scene, you may already know Oscar from Malga Palazzo, or perhaps you’ve met him through his latest project 'Roubaix London'.
Oscar and I first crossed paths almost three years ago when he opened his shop on King’s Road. Little did he know the journey he was about to embark on, or the challenges he’d face in the coming months. Over the last two years, Oscar has successfully tackled quite a few hurdles, and by coincidence, we found ourselves working together last year.
Like many in the cycling industry, I’ve also faced my fair share of challenges. Some which led me to move Gloria Cycling just outside of London. But through perseverance and a shared passion for cycling, both Oscar and I, have kept moving forward.
So if you're curious about our Gloria Titanium bikes and want to see them up close and personal, stop by 'Roubaix London' in Fulham. Oscar is always keen to chat about bikes, racing, and the adventure that comes with it all.
You never know you may even meet your new favourite bike mechanic!
A Little More About Oscar
I know very few people with the perseverance, ambition, and drive that Oscar has. He’s truly unstoppable, due to his work ethic, attention to detail and passion for the sport.
If you were in Oscar’s shoes, you might have given up already, but not him. Oscar is unbreakable, and through his journey, he’s not only refined his business approach but has also grown tremendously as a business owner. For most of us, it takes a few bumps in the road to get to where we want to be, but Oscar has faced his head-on and come out stronger every time.
When he mentioned his plans to expand and get more space in London, I was immediately on board. Having seen his dedication and reliability firsthand, I knew this next step was perfect for him. In many ways, he’s a lot like a Titanium bike: unbreakable, reliable, and perhaps most importantly incredibly versatile. So it feels only fitting that one of our Gloria All-Road bike builds is now on display at his new location.
Oscar has this rare skillset that can’t be taught. I’ve seen him tackle some of the toughest bike repairs in minutes, handling problems that would stump others. While some people crack under pressure, he thrives in it, often performing his best when the stakes are high, like on the night before a big race or a flight abroad. With an impressive collection of tools and an experience level that very few mechanics in London can match, Oscar is the guy who can fix any bike problem you throw his way.
As always, Oscar has big plans for his new place, but this time there's something different in his approach. He seems more confident and content, grounded in the direction he’s chosen. For those of us lucky enough to live nearby, it’s reassuring to know there’s a truly talented bike mechanic in the neighborhood, ready to help with even the most challenging issues.
So, Where exactly is 'Roubaix London' and the Gloria bike build?
I’m thrilled to have our bikes back available to view in London, but even more so to call Oscar and 'Roubaix London' a Gloria partner.
In Oscar’s new space, you’ll find a beautifully built Gloria All-Road Titanium bike, complete with a Shimano 105 Di2 groupset, Gloria Carbon wheels with DT 350 hubs, and a Titanium finishing kit.
For those who like to get hands-on or chat about cycling stories, Oscar’s shop is the place to be. He loves sharing insights on builds and riding tips, and he’s always up for discussing details like road vs. gravel tires or the perks of having two wheelsets to maximize your bike’s versatility.
Oscar’s workshop is much more than just a repair space; it’s a place where custom builds come to life. If you’re thinking about a custom Titanium project, stop by and chat with him. He’s the perfect person to walk you through the design process, from concept to completion, making sure your bike isn’t just stunning to look at but optimized for performance. His extensive cycling knowledge means he can help you dial in every detail, especially if you’re aiming for speed.
