Really easy to contact and deal with via email.
I traded wheel in for credit and used that towards a bike. They swapped the saddle out before sending as well - all good.

Knocked one star off as they were let down by their courier APC, 3 failed collections.

HI Simon, thanks for taking the time to feedback, appreciate our courier let the process down on this one with failed collections but glad all got sorted in the end. Hope you're enjoying the Grail 😁and all the best.

Very good all round experience

Great product at a very good price, really good service. I emailed with some questions and got a very quick, clear response. Every step after that was met with really prompt and clear communication and the frame we have bought is brand new (oldish stock) at half the price and absolutely mint. Really impressive product and customer service and would definitely recommend.

Excellent customer service

I recently bought a bike frame from the Kingston store. The team - both in the office and the bike mechanic - went out of their way to be accommodating and helpful, as well and being incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. Hugely recommend them.

This is my second Pinarello from Cycle Exchange - the first, a Dogma, is still great and going strong but I wanted something for endurance and liked the look of the X series so bought a 5 and upgraded cockpit to the fully integrated Talon. Fantastic support from start to finish once again and great advice, The whole team are fantastic but big thanks to Matt, Josh and Hazel. I will back as practice the 'n+1' concept of how many bikes you need and would not look anywhere else.

Great service from start to finish!

So pleased with every aspect of this company! I got a great deal on a bike that it in fantastic condition. They delivered to my home within 2-3 days and the courier they used was absolutely lovely. The customer service over the phone and email was excellent, which seems like it's becoming harder and harder to find these days.
