Mate of mine just got a nice bike from there, delivered as agreed and so far so good. A word of warning though, check if they have put that silicone tyre shine on the bike to make it look good on the photos. If they have then clean it off to avoid coming off at the 1st roundabout !!

Hi,
I traded in a bike with them and got a decent price, also the bike I bought I kept for nearly three years and sold it for not a lot less than I paid, I would use again,

Hello young Steve, 'ow goes it fella?

Almost... they had a paramedic conversion on an SWM 650 superdual. Covered in hi-viz stickers, but a very cheap bike... Missed it :-(
