Exceed my expectations

Recently bought a Frog 40 from C J Performance Cycles, Byker, and had a first class customer experience. Staff (Ben, Stephen and Sophia) were brilliant.

Due to my error the bike had to be returned for a larger size which was not in stock. However, staff quickly located a Frog 44 in my preferred colour. Throughout the process I was kept informed by pleasant, professional staff.

I was most impressed with Sophia who took ownership of my order and telephoned me on three occasions. Refreshing when people say their going to call you back at a specific time and that promise is fulfilled.

I never write reviews, however in this case I felt compelled, because staff at C J Performance Cycles went that extra mile and exceeded my expectations.

Certainly recommend this small independent cycle shop.

First class service and advise

I wanted a new bike, we went to CJ performance in Cramlington and Chris gave me some great advise and helped me decide what bike was best for me. Picked it up on sat it’s perfect exactly what I wanted, love it. Thanks for the great service and advise. Would highly recommend and would definitely purchase again from this store.

First class experience

I was hesitant buying a bike online, but during the pandemic there was no other choice.

I am so glad that I went with CJPerformance Cycles when I noticed that they had the bike I wanted in the correct size.

There was a very slight issue with the bike when it came from the supplier. Stephen informed me about it very quickly and handled everything perfectly - I was so impressed by the communication and transparency.

I've had the bike for over half a year now and I love it. I'm going on another cycle this weekend.

First Class Service.

I wanted to buy a Cube electric bike and I searched everywhere online to find the right one in stock. I came across CJ Performance Cycles and I’m so glad I did. As you can imagine I was very nervous spending £2K+ on a bike from a shop I didn’t know. But I have to say the service I received from CJ was first class. I want to thank Mr Stephen Scrafton who I had the pleasure of dealing with for my order. The communication via email was excellent and the delivery to Northern Ireland was very fast. Overall I am extremely happy with whole customer experience from start to finish and cannot recommend CJ Performance highly enough.

Website is deceitful

I ordered some Cube handlebars which the website said were in stock, but ten days later when I enquired about the delivery, I was told they were waiting for them from their supplier. The manager, Stephen Scrafton, gave me a lame excuse that the website shows they are in stock at the supplier rather than their own stock. He also tried to blame their web provider for the misleading information on the website.

Hello Richard, thanks for your review. We are sorry for the delay in getting this item to you. You should have been informed of the delay upon ordering. I can see an update was not sent to you and we apologise for this. Our website does state which shop holds stock or warehouse which means our supplier. In your case the item had to be ordered from our supplier. Normally goods arrive in 2-3 days but delays due to the current climate means shipping is slower. We apologise again. As you can see from many of our positive reviews we are always proactive in letting our customers know of delays. We sell many items every day without any issues. Upon this occasion we failed on our communication with you. With regards to changing WAREHOUSE (which means supplier) we unfortunately cannot change this, Stephen was correct on this.

Excellent mechanic team, good cost-conscious advice & attention to detail

I don't often write reviews but I thought it was worth writing up my experience with my summer road bike. I took it in after a gear cable snapped as the internal routing is a bit fiddly and I was short on time. While replacing it, the mechanics went above and beyond finding a dangerous hole in the handlebar from corrosion, and a small crack in the chainstay. They were patient in showing the affected areas and verifying the problems. They recommended a frame repairer (I checked them out and was recommended the same firm by at least 10 others), they packed and shipped the bike and then rebuilt it once the repairs had been done. Initially I'd wanted the bike back quickly because of an upcoming event, but the gravity of the problems they detected made that impossible, although they'd tried had to get things done in time until they spotted the frame problem. They clearly care about rider safety. They never tried to push me towards expensive solutions, but in each case got in touch to discuss the options and left the decisions up to me. Despite the amount of time they'd spent on the bike they only charged the cost of a service, not trying to add in extras, and were happy to use parts I supplied (replacing chain). Overall I was really impressed by the attention to detail, the good communication, the way they tried to keep costs down for me, offered me good advice on my options, tried their absolute best to get things done for an upcoming event although it was a last minute 'fitting it in' job. Excellent work by the CJ team at Byker. thanks, Andy

Fantastic local bike shop

I bought a road bike from the Newcastle branch. The staff were excellent and patiently answered all questions while I decided which bike to buy. A few months later I had a bike fit to fine tune the setup. This really helped. Three years on I take my bike back for all servicing.

Single Mum problems!!!

Being a single mum who knows nothing about cycling with an avid cyclist for a child, I always find that the staff are more than happy to help me with any problems I have and they don’t laugh when I ask them stupid questions 🙂

Excellent service and great staff

Excellent service and great staff, I went in looking for a new road bike and although they could have sold me the more expensive one I had my eye on the frame size was just too big for me. They sized me up for a small frame and saved me a few quid in the process 👍
Nice to see a company who look after their customers needs and not just try to sell you the most expensive thing in the shop.

Absolutely great bunch of chaps

Absolutely great bunch of chaps! Really helped me with my first road bike purchase, got me set up and confident riding before letting me go, great on advice for components and footwear. Left feeling really happy with my purchase and was able to really hit the ground peeling 😂 10/10 would recommend 😃

Brilliant Local bike shop.

Brilliant service. I bought my first adult bike there in 2015 and Chris took time to help me pick it. I fell I. Love with cycling and have been back for several other bikes since. Best local bike shop I know. I would go nowhere else.

Shifter repair to save me nearly £200!

Tom repaired my shifter, saving me a very expensive replacement, when would have been easy to just replace the pair! Called on Saturday when it was damaged, dropped the bike off Tuesday morning and picked it up all done a few hours later! Top class job and top class service, can’t fault the team at CJ performance!
