Cycle Renovation Business

FOR the last ten years, Evans has been making and selling bicycles, a business that last year netted him a cool £4 million. And that money was all profit, as the canny DJ uses only parts salvaged from scrapped, crashed and broken bikes to knock up the superficially gleaming machines he sells from the drive of his 25-bedroom Ascot mansion. Evans gets his raw materials from his local civic amenity site, where he hangs around offering to take away rusty bikes destined for the dump, from a nearby canal, where he fishes for abandoned bikes using a hook on a length of washing line, and by rooting through skips.
