Hi Stephen, very sorry for the poor communication with regards to your order which I believe has been processed, if only with 1 not 2 tyres.

I had to wait for the goods but its all good now!

I’m still waiting for the goods which were in stock but on 25% payment went out of stock!
An update from 20/9, I'm pleased to report that the shop has reached out to confirm the rack is in the store and they'll fit it too! That's good customer care!

Don't believe it when website says In Stock.

Order the item which was showing as in stock.
2 days later received 3 x emails telling me it was not in stock.
1 day later received the same 3 emails all over again and then again later that day.
What a mess !!!

Excellent service

Excellent service, spending time to work out what I needed, and sourcing a part that wasn't available off the shelf, from the workshop.

Order cancelled with no communication

Order cancelled with no communication. Item shown as in stock, received email to saying it would be dispatched in 2 days with no further communication. Chased a couple of times to be told it had been cancelled. I was not charged which is good, but a shame as wasted a couple of weeks for an item I could have got quickly elsewhere if I had known.

Someone had tried to steal my rear wheel and John (I think) from the Rodney street branch tightened it up free of charge. Thanks John!

Picked up my Genesis Flyer 2023 Adventure Road Bike yesterday. I took it out for its first RUN Today and completed 25.4 miles tour of South Deeside Cycle Route. My bike responded very well to the Hill climbs and Flat surfaces I am amazed as it’s a single gear gravel bike and it does exactly what I thought it rides well handles all terrains. GET YOURSELF A GENESIS GRAVEL BIKE ITS FUN FUN FUN. Signed Graham Robertson
