Mark Reilly 1967-2021


It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our founder and friend, Mark Reilly. An apprentice of master framebuilder Ron Cooper, Mark's 30-year career spanned workshops including Omega and Enigma before he founded Reilly Cycleworks (initially as Nerve Bicycles) with composites specialist and longtime collaborator, Neil FitzGerald, in 2014. Mark cited steel builds for cycling pros Bjarne Riis, Brian Holm and Sean Yates among his favourites. Mark remained passionate about bike design and framebuilding through to the end. He will be remembered for his celebrated geometry and world-class frame designs.
