For nearly half a century, the Woodrup name has been synonymous with expertly
fabricated bicycle framesets.
Initially founded by Stephen
Maurice Woodrup and his wife, Jean, a 10-mile English national road champion, the company
quickly gained a reputation for providing well-designed and meticulously appointed racing
frames to the local cycling community. As the Woodrups often rode with the very people
that used their cycles, they amassed years of invaluable feedback that allowed them to
continuously modify and refine their construction techniques and designs.
Stephen Woodrup, the couple's son,
apprenticed with his father for many years before taking over the main frame
building responsibilities in the mid 1970's. Now, after more than 25 years
experience and thousands of beautifully crafted frames, Stephen still
retains his joy for building and continues as the head of Woodrup Cycles. He
is joined today by his children, Anthony and Sarah, who will carry on the
Woodrup tradition, including frame-building, repair, restoration, and
re-spray.
