  Great shop. Know their stuff. Good mix of staff. Not all kiddies like you get at the big stores. Proper service.

  Wonderful staff, amazing selection of stock and the staff are friendly and always willing to help. Got myself a brand new set of speedplays this Christmas after much deliberation and speaking to the staff and they’re working an absolute dream - some things may be slightly more expensive than online but the smashing customer service is well worth it. Definitely going to be coming here for the foreseeable future

  Needed rear brake sorting. Only option put forward was £75 upwards for replacement. I said it was an old bike and I didn't want to spend much money. This was the only option. Went online to a BIG WELL KNOWN CYCLE RETAILER and ordered a Shimano Brake assy (lever,hose,caliper) for £25 not £75. Red kite could have ordered this part for £25 and fitted for £12 but all they wanted to do was sell me expensive parts. Bike now works a dream for a £25 online order.Wont go back.

  Last May I wandered into this shop to have a mooch about ... and, yeah, maybe to think about buying a new bike. A lovely shop on two levels and a no rush no push attitude from the staff. Upstairs I spotted a couple of Bullfinch bikes ( hand built steel, Reynolds 853) and they looked terrific. Long story short - I've now got one. It is fantatstic. The quality and detail is spot on. I love it. Well worth waiting for (can take a few months but was waiting for the new ultegra groupset to come out). I chose the colour and Adrian helped me with the fit out (I'm not an expert). Prior to this I had a Cannondale CAAD aluminium and I thought that was special. This Bullfinch is easily the best bike I've ever ridden. It has rejuvenated my cycling. Please consider these beautiful machines if you fancy a steel frame.

  I like this place. No pressure to buy anything and they have everything you could need. From top end bikes through to clothing and even sorts drinks / gels etc. I've never purchased a bike from here but have bought plenty of clothing, accessories and I've had a bike service and bike fitting there that I would recommend. Quality and professionalism
