Chris's Bikes

Wouldn't hesitate to recommend! Chris is a great man and provides a reliable, efficient and affordable service. I am someone who would go out of my way to buy parts and spend time doing my own repairs but since discovering this bike shop I haven't needed to - have been back 3 times now and pleased every time. It's been refreshing, not needing to worry!

I found Chris very unhelpful when I enquired about buying a bike on the cycle to work scheme, it all seemed too much trouble for him. I needed a proper written quote but he refused to provide this, all I got was a number written down on a scrap of paper which was useless as I could of done this myself! He wouldn't even let me see the bike I was interested in buying. My recommendation: avoid. Come on Chris, it is a simple question. Will you give me a written quote ? 27 May 2022: This is an interesting response from the owner. He gets a review he doesn't like and rather than addressing the issues that prompted the bad review he resorts to name calling. This is probably more likely to put off potential customers than my original review! Yes, he is right, my visit to his shop was several years ago but that doesn't alter the fact that my description of what happened is 100% accurate. His initial response was to question if I was a real person, so in effect denying that our exchange had even taken place. In the intervening time he has failed to answer the question about written quotes. Sorry Chris, I am going to leave the review here until you answer that simple question. 2 Sep 2022: This is an interesting sales technique from the owner, name calling and thinly veiled threats along the lines of: 'come in to my shop if you have the guts!'

Excellent bike shop. Chris is highly knowledgeable, experienced and passionate about bicycles. Good conversationalist too. Highly recommended.

My new favourite local bike shop; I'll be back for all my repair/maintenance needs. Chris had no qualms taking in my esoteric belt-driven eBike for a spoke repair which ended up taking most of his afternoon. Returned a few hours later and the now repaired bike was returned to me with a smile and kind words. Absolutely recommend.
