Balfe's Bikes needs a Rebecca in every branch!
Rebecca was such a fantastic help and imparted her bike fitting skills in ensuring my wife picked the right size bike.

Staff responded quickly and positively to my email inquiry. I went there in person to pick up the item I had ordered and again the staff were very helpful, explaining and going out of their way to solve my question.

Super-fast servicing of my bike (within 48 hrs).
No surprises on price upon collection.
Clear update on progress.
Good service
Bike's back tyre was split on the side and the inner tube punctured. I rolled it in and Balfe's quickly diagnosed it all and I had replaced parts within about 10 minutes. No appointment needed.

Thumbs up for Balfe Bikes 👍🏻 Streatham Hill. The young man willingly helped me fix my quilt frame today, securing the ‘speed control’ in place . the speed control mechanism is like a bicycle hand brake lever. an unorthodox request and they came through shining 🌞 thank you Balfe Bikes

I got a honest appraisal of what work was needed and the guys went out of their way to make sure that my work would not be impacted as they did a really quick turnaround. Kept me informed at all times as to how the work was going and when I could collect my bike.

Asked team to fit a new rear tyre which matched the existing Kenda front one. Came back to collect the bike and they had fitted another brand which was a pain as I am trying to sell it (teenager FROG bike bought new from same store). Didn't make a big deal about it and paid but whole experience very underwhelming.

Trusted cycle shop
Offer full bicycle servicing options, but their customer service/friendliness in store could be better. I trust the servicing skills and they communicate clearly regarding parts that need replacing and how much it will cost.

Poor post sales customer service
I spent £3000 in 6 months on two bikes with your company. I missed the 6 week service on the first bike. No good-will was extended to myself as a local customer in Streatham. When I called the support number it was agreed the 6 week service would take your company about ten minutes to complete. I did have a problem on the first bike . Luckily a local Authority cycle scheme fixed that basic chain falling off problem. Buying the bike was a good experience from store staff. This management decision to refuse a a 10 minute look over of the bike has left a nasty taste of being patronised as a potential buyer only to be disregarded after the sale was complete. I accept the late submission to the repair was my own fault.

Help with pump
Craig at Balfe's Bikes in Streatham was extremely helpful with my pump. He patiently showed me how to pump up my tyres as I was having trouble and made sure they were at the correct pressure. Thanks Craig!
