Gran Prix Bicycles: maintenance workshops

Introductory, Advanced, MTB, Workshops 4 Women Only, Road Bike Master Class and Corporate Workshops that run at your work place.

Introductory, Advanced, MTB, Workshops 4 Women Only, Road Bike Master Class and Corporate Workshops that run at your work place.
Gran Prix Bicycles, in Caulfield South, runs an Introductory Class (single-session maintenance workshop) every month on a working week night.

Gran Prix Bicycles began a Road Master Class (limit to 4 people per class) in 2010. It is tailored to those that already own a Road bike and are keen to keep it in tip top shape, or learn a little more about how to tune it at home.

The Advanced Class (limit 4 people per class) runs on a Sunday. This is a very hands-on course where you will learn to strip, clean and reassemble a bicycle.

Gran Prix Bicycles charge $69 for the Introductory Class, $69 for the Introductory Workshop 4 Women, $99 for the Advanced Class, $79 for MTB Class and $109 for the Road Master Class.

Gran Prix Bicycles keeps costs down as their philosophy is to encourage more cyclists to have the skills to carry out essential and basic maintenance to ensure cycling is a pleasant experience.

Gran Prix Bicycles also runs Corporate Workshops. Corporate workshop clients have included the EPA, RACV Club and Esso Australia. Gran Prix can come to your workplace and run hands-on workshops or organise a group session at Gran Prix Bicycles.
