Saving You Money on Repairs
A good repair shouldn’t cost more than necessary. If a part can be safely reused, I’ll let you know. For example, if both gear cables need replacing, the rear one often works fine on the front, meaning you only need to buy one new cable. I also offer quality used parts when available, giving you a more affordable option than buying new.
Small standard parts—nuts, bolts, washers, and cable tidies—are included free of charge with any repair. However, specialist parts like Sturmey Archer nuts and washers may have a small additional cost.
Not a Bike Shop – Just Great Repairs
I don’t sell new bicycles, and only occasionally have second-hand bikes available. My focus is on keeping your bike running smoothly, not selling you a new one.
If you do need a new bicycle, I recommend visiting a local bike shop for expert guidance, proper fitting, and a fully assembled bike.
Unlike many bike shops, I’m also happy to assemble bicycles bought online, from catalogues, or supermarkets. If you need help putting one together safely, bring it in, and I’ll make sure it’s road-ready.
