Great help with building a bike by Marcos and the team. Superb job done on the bottom bracket of a 1998 carbon frame and also with the forks. Fantastic knowledge, very helpful. Many thanks.

Wonderful service from the staff in the Fulham shop, very friendly and helpful to me when I picked the bike up. I took my own pedals and they were fitted in an instant. No problems with collection... See more

I ordered a fully equipped bike

I ordered a fully equipped bike, but handed me an unequipped one. I thought that the accessories will come later, but nothing came. It was somehow my fault, I did not speak up right then and there, but did I ask customer service if they can provide me the missing parts (mud guard, lights, bike stand, etc.), but to no avail. I never heard from them since. Also, I have been paying for the price of an equipped bike for ten months now. It was not a nice experience with them. I don’t think I will buy my next bike from them again.

Excellent customer support

Ian (E-man) was great! He brought my bike, showed me all the features, how to use it and also how to ride and be safe. I love the bike too. Balfes was definitely the right choice.

Slow to service when booked in.

Service itself seems fine. Unfortunately the time taken to carry out service was a problem. I booked in my bike and dropped it in on the date booked. It took several weeks and chasing for the service to be quoted and completed. The work was only completed when I went in and spoke directly to the mechanic and he managed to complete the work very quickly. The mechanic was a very nice guy and very competent but the time taken from drop off was not good. I was not offered a discount or compensated for the delay.

Normally I am very happy with my bike…

Normally I am very happy with my bike service but this time they didn’t pump up my front tyre enough and the next morning I was on my way to work and it felt soft .
I popped back and they where more than helpful in pumping it up and they showed me how to use my electric bump for at home

Good experience of ordering bike

Good experience of ordering bike . Very good discount offered on a high end bike I was interested in .
Quick delivery .
Would have liked some more time and attention when I picked up the bike , especially as I was not familiar with many features such as di2 and tubeless tires .

Always very helpful

Always very helpful!
I brought my bike to the Fulham branch today because there was some noise coming from the disk brake. Both members of the staff could not have been more helpful, they interrupted what they were doing to have a look for me, made some adjustments and made sure I was safe to cycle on. I will be back soon for a proper service for sure. Thanks Balfe‘s!!!

Amazing experience

Amazing experience.
My son fell in love with children's Trek bike and did not want to leave the shop without it. The shop staff and mechanic was very efficient with preparing the bike for the road.
