Fantastic service - friendly and helpful
Just bought a Trek Roscoe 7 and a Trek Marlin+ 8 for my son and me. Steve at ACTIV Cycles was so helpful with all our questions over the phone and in delivering the bikes in person and running through the set up. The service was fantastic and I highly recommend and we love the bikes.

My fit was done at Ashford by Fred
My fit was done at Ashford by Fred. He was an absolute professional and made many adjustments to my Trek Domane + SLR 7 explaining stuff to me all the time. The feel of the bike was transformed plus Fred fitted new pedals for me. Super helpful all the time. Excellent service.
