Geometry

The Bilsland Verdict: The Glencoe is perfect for any rider who wants a fun relaxed gravel experience. Whether it be solo or in a group, smashing singletrack or cruising along fire-track the Glencoe has you covered. Coming equipped with Sram Apex 1x11 means you don't have to worry about that pesky front derailleur catching your trouser or dropping the chain. The wide handlebars allow for plenty of control when things gets fast and steep. This bike is for the wanderer, the explorer, the free spirit, the rider that wants to experience gravel and all the amazing places that comes with it.

The All-Road All-RounderLight, comfortable and responsive, Glencoe is our fattest gravel bike for riders who want a super versatile, smooth-riding all-roader that’s as playful as it is practical. Whether you’re looking to load up and head out for an adventure on rough country lanes and light gravel routes, or just cruise smoothly around your regular roads, the Glencoe’s 650x47mm high-volume tyres make it a true all-rounder for any ride.

Why Glencoe?

Our signature Whyte Total geometry gives you a clear confidence and safety boost, too so the fun doesn’t stop when the road ends either. Contemporary mountain bike (MTB) influences include a longer reach, a short stem, and a wider bar. We stopped short of a crazy-slack head angle though because Whyte’s Total Geometry concept creates confident control through fork geometry genius instead. That way you get the same confident ‘drop bar MTB’ feel without the flop and wander of a slack head angle. The result isn’t just confidence on rougher surfaces, but a naturally neutral and natural steering feel on road, too. That doesn’t change when you’re loaded up with bike packing gear either and the fixed seat post is compatible with whatever bags you choose.

Features & Equipment

Practical, good-looking, and always ready for adventure, Glencoe is your ideal getaway partner. Wide-range SRAM Apex single-ring gearing makes climbing easy – whether loaded up with bike-packing gear or making up for lost time after the morning alarm didn’t go off. Hydraulic disc brakes with an oversize front rotor mean stopping is never an issue either. Sealed cable ports and masses of mud clearance, together with being fully mud-guard ready – just add our own Whyte mudguards – all combine to ensure that bad weather will never hold you back. And if that wasn’t enough, the alloy frame and fork have mounts to take a full set of bike packing gear or conventional pannier racks, so the Glencoe can be ridden as far or fast as you like.

Why Buy From Us?

Why Buy From Billy Bilsland Cycles?

We're one of the most well established bike shops in Scotland and have been selling bikes to Glasgow and far beyond since 1980, so you can be sure that we're not going anywhere 😀

We care about what bike you buy, and we want it to be right bike FOR YOU, not one that would suit us. If you buy your bike from us, we want to keep you as a customer and keep your bike riding perfectly. We offer a free 6 week / 300 mile “tune-up” service, where we tighten up bolts and cables, index your gears and generally sort out any small issues you have after the short bedding in period.

You'll also have priority access to our workshop for repairs or servicing. We never turn away someone who has bought their bike from us, no matter how busy we are. You may have to leave your bike with us for a couple of days, but you'll be at the top of the list.

We offer free loans of a hard-case Bike Box Alan if you're travelling with your bike, just tell us when you need it and we'll book you in.

The best (and cheapest) time to make changes to a bike is at the initial build stage, avoiding the need to re-cable, bleed brakes etc. We can swap your saddle, change stems, wheels, tyres, bars, cranks, bar tape, group-set, pedals, add luggage and mudguards - the list is endless.

If you're ordering online, just select your upgrade or pop a note in the order when checking out.

Very few bikes leave the shop as they came to us, with stem and tyre changes being the most common.

Bikes are fully built up from scratch by our Cytech Level 2 mechanics. Brakes are bedded in on our brake bedding roller. Being situated in Glasgow, we’re used to preparing bikes for our wonderful British weather so everything is greased up to suit a Glasgow winter. Bikes are then buddy checked, test ridden and re-boxed for shipping with minimal assembly at your end.

High-end website sales are likely to be shipped in a hard case requiring minimum rebuild - attach the wheels, fit pedals (remember pedals are specific to the side of the bike) and away you go. We’ll arrange return shipping for the bike box.

Have you had a bike fit? Send us your fit data and we’ll set up the bike to your position.

Small adjustments make such a big difference.

Are the gears low/high enough for you? Do you have the correct tyre width? Favoured tyre brand? Fancy going tubeless? We’ll make suggestions that will improve your cycling enjoyment.

Bike-Fit is a big part of the in-store service, and usually involve swapping saddles, bars and stems. Whether it’s our suggestion or your requirements, we’re here to help you buy your perfect bike.
