Product Quality

Pros:

  • "Very happy with my new TCR and will use this local and family owned shop in the future."
  • "Great team that work hard to ensure all boxes are ticked to getting the right bike at a great price."
  • "Absolutely nothing in it for them, no money asked for etc, just helped as a supplier of Giant bicycles."
  • "The bike itself is amazing, only thing I would have asked for is the option to have stem slammed."
  • "The bike itself was just as I expected - fantastic."
  • "I got a great deal on a Giant Propel ('22 model) - best part of £1k off the rrp on the giant site."
  • "Absolutely love my new bike."

Cons:

  • "God knows what the mechanic was doing but he seems to have crushed the wheel axle."
  • "On further inspection I have noticed the disc rotor splines have been mashed up as well, and the threads on the rotor lock ring have also been badly damaged."
  • "After waiting a month for what should have been a quick job I have just got my wheel back to find that I can no longer put it on my bike because the thru axle no longer goes through the hub..."
  • "The bike continued to have faults on a monthly basis."
  • "The tyre was bulging & looked like it hadn’t been put back on properly."
  • "Shortly after purchasing the bike spokes started to fall out along with numerous other faults."
  • "Had my bike repaired at their shop. 5 minutes after leaving their premises the same thing broke again."

Value for Money

Pros:

  • "I live in Yorkshire and made a saving of £460 on this bike."
  • "I got an absolute bargain too."
  • "Just an absolute gem of a place, very well priced."
  • "Very happy would be an understatement with the service they gave. Back on my bike with a great price after they found the clicking noise on my road bike and feels like new!!"
  • "I got a great deal on a Giant Propel ('22 model) - best part of £1k off the rrp on the giant site."
  • "Purchased a Giant Propel Advanced Pro 1 at an amazing price."
  • "I used the shop pump the other day and i wasn't charged."

Cons:

  • "Ok can you fix the puncture and then pump it up that’ll be 15 quid... rip off."
  • "Over a week later and still no action has been taken to get the bike to me."
  • "I was promised delivery of the bike but had to chase twice after spending enough to buy a car, you’d expect more."
  • "Appalling service with the bike sent to the wrong address."
  • "Two flat tyres when it finally arrived and promised replacements within two days and a week later I’m still waiting and still no apology."
  • "Manager/owner was incredibly rude. I needed one little screw for a brake, they found a spare very quickly, came out and screwed it in, entire process took under 3 minutes, the manager then came out and tried to charge me £5 for labour."
  • "Tried to purchase a bike via the Cycle to Work scheme. Shop says it accepts the voucher. The bike was not on sale. Shop then refused to accept the £1,000 voucher at its full value."

Delivery & Communication

Pros:

  • "Purchased my bike after midday on the Saturday and it was sent out with free next day delivery on the Monday through fedex."
  • "My emails were never responded to but once that was sorted out they were very good."
  • "The communication, dispatch, and personal instructions for the build were all perfect."
  • "I ordered my bike on Monday afternoon and it arrived in Scotland on Wednesday morning."
  • "Arrived in perfect condition with a text to confirm delivery dispatch."
  • "I then received a message from Troy, Monday evening, telling me the bike was being shipped that evening and I would receive a message from FedEx."
  • "Communication was good and delivery was on time. Recommended."
