News, Gaming, Music & Making — Straight From Blackwood, Gwent
This is the running log of everything happening at Retrosheep — an independent, home-based workshop and creative studio in Blackwood, Gwent, South Wales, est. 2006. Retrosheep and a small family team make and post from here: new t-shirt and hoodie designs, 3D printing projects, drone and e-bike mods, laser engraving experiments, retro gaming sessions, original music drops, and the odd bit of news that caught our eye.
Expect a mix — some posts are behind-the-scenes looks at a handmade order coming together, some are gaming livestream recaps with AudioDev, some are new product drops, and some are just us talking about whatever's going on in the Valleys that week. No polish, no filler — just an independent Welsh maker documenting the work.

Urlife T2 20 E-Bike Review: 150 Miles In, All My Mods, and a Night Ride Through Blackwood
150 miles in with my Urlife T2 20 UK legal e-bike, and it's time for a full update. In this post I share my honest review, run through every mod I've added so far — dual battery, sat nav, extra lights, gear upgrade, 3D printed phone holder, and a rear view camera — and take you along on a night ride through Blackwood in the South Wales valleys. Featuring my punk rock track "They Want Your Car" by Retrosheep.
