The hanger for the rear mech on my Specialized snapped in half, with the half remaining on the bike seemingly melded to the frame, with a danger of damaging the frame in attempting to remove it. The o... See more

What a great service

What a great service. From answering questions before purchase right through to collecting my new bike, Charlie and the team at Lancaster were brilliant. I was kept updated throughout the process.
I thoroughly recommend these guys and the company if you’re looking to buy a new bike

I keep going back

I've purchased a number of items from leasure lakes in lancaster recently and I think the staff are brilliant. So helpful and knowledgeable. Extremely friendly and if they make a mistake they own up and rectify it immediately.

Brilliant customer service

Brilliant customer service. Bought a new jacket from them a few weeks ago. Unfortunately after its first wash, one of the seams came away. Rang the shop and went down, they couldn't be more helpful, took the jacket for a look, and immediately replaced with a new jacket. Can't ask for more than that. No messing or interrogation, just sorted the problem there and then. Great stuff.

Ordered replacement parts for Topeak pocket rocket pump. Were available within 2 days at their shop. Great service when collecting. Also, shop has a good range of bikes on display together with lots of parts and accessories. Well worth a visit.

Why use the shop? I suggest manufacturer direct.

Rather than buy direct from Brompton Bikes, I preferred to do business with a bike shop. My purchase was to co-incide with a trip to the Lake district so I contacted the Lancaster shop. Yes they had one in stock, yes I could pick it up the following day (1st July). As I was submiting my deposit they checked and no, actually there was a stocking error but I could pick it up on the 3rd July. I would be on my way back so no problem. I was told I could pick it up any time after midday. So, excited, I found somewhere to pay for parking in the centre of Lancaster and got to the shop at midday. It wouldn’t be ready until the end of the day. Disappointed, I told the chap I was expecting it at midday as I had been advised. “I don’t know who told you that” was the curt reply. I shall buy from Brompton’s website instead, clearly naïve of me to support a bike shop. Mistakes are understandable, even doubled up. But arrogance and rudeness are not what I expect when I’m trying to spend 2500 on a bike.

Hi John,

Thank you for getting in touch, first of all, please accept my apologies for the experience you have had with Leisure Lakes Bikes Lancaster.

When we took the order for your bike over the phone, we discovered an error with our stock, and arranged to get an alternative bike from another store, for collection later that week, to coincide with your trip to Lancaster. When arranging this, I advised that the bike would arrive with us around midday, and would be ready for collection early afternoon. I believe this is where we have got our wires crossed, and I can only apologise for not being clearer as to when the bike would be ready.
In regard to the colleague you spoke to when you came in, I can assure you that it was not his intention to come across as rude, and I apologise that we did not meet your expectations on this occasion.
I hope we have the opportunity to assist you in the future, and make up for your recent visit.

Kind regards
Charlie
