Veldrider started as a two bay workshop fixing friends' bikes after hours. Word got around, the bays filled up, and we added a small counter for the parts people kept asking for: filters, levers, pads and exhausts.

These days we still turn the spanners ourselves, order in the parts that actually fit South African roads, and keep enough common stock on hand so you are not stuck waiting weeks for a part we could have had in by Friday.
