If you are looking for a new bike, or a used bike, then do try us. Although, remember we’re not a bike shop, we don’t have a store front or demo bikes.
What we do is sell pre-owned bikes. We recycle, refurbish, and rebuild them to a high standard replacing any worn parts.
We can also order new bikes, including e-bikes but only after a consultation to make sure the bike is going to be right for you.
For the very keen cyclist you can also commission us to build a bike to your requirements if you know what you want – we’ll work with you to ensure the bike will be a good fit for the intended purpose, suggest suitable components, and then give you a quotation for the build. You could even attend our Park Tool School and build it yourself with our assistance.
HOT TOPIC : Buying Used?
Take care when buying secondhand bikes from selling sites. We see a lot of bikes that are purchased from reselling sites such as FaceBook Marketplace, Gumtree and eBay.
Many of these bikes have defects with some seriously unsafe to ride.
Take a look at the basics of what to check below. If you need any advice when buying a used bike please do contact us. We are more than happy to help.
Tyres – check for wear or cracks, that they are inflated. Wheels – look for loose or broken spokes. That they spin freely and smoothly, with no sideways movement.
Brakes – check both front and back brakes work. That the levers are smooth. Check the pads and braking surface for wear.
Headset – the handlebar should steer the front wheel smoothly with no play forward and back – hold the front brake on and rock it back and forward to check this.
Bottom Bracket – the pedals and ‘crank’ should have no sideways movement, and move the front chainrings round smoothly.
Seat – check the seat and seat post can be moved to a position suitable for you.
Gears – check for chain wear if you can. Make sure any gears work correctly by taking it for a test ride. Gear shifters on the handlebars should be smooth to operate, The chain should be lightly oiled, not heavily greased.
