Review summary

Evaluating 263 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers consistently praise the staff for their helpfulness, knowledge, and dedication, making the purchasing process smooth and enjoyable. Many people highlight the excellent service, from initial inquiries and test rides to professional handling of purchases and modifications. The quality of the bikes, often described as top-notch and in immaculate condition, is a significant factor in customer satisfaction, with many noting that the products exceeded their expectations. Delivery services are frequently commended for being fast, well-packaged, and efficient, ensuring a convenient buying experience. However, some customers also noted issues with courier services, experiencing delayed deliveries or a lack of communication, though this was generally not attributed to the company itself.

Bike arrived very quickly within a couple of working days and was very well boxed . The bike was as described. I have wanted a gravel bike for a while now to replace my very old MTB, and buying a pre loved one made total sense. I have done two big rides on it now and I am more than pleased with my purchase

Very good experience

Very good experience. Polite, friendly staff. Traded in my old bike in part purchase of a two-year old road bike. When a small glitch occurred on the new (to me) bike the staff fixed it immediately without fuss.

Excellent service from the moment we arrived. Saw the bike on the internet and it was exactly as described when we arrived. A great atmosphere in the shop, amazing bikes, really busy which was wonderful to see, staff are knowledgeable and super helpful. Bikes are displayed well, onsite engineer who gave our bike a service before we left. Cafe instore selling a good range of coffee and lovely food. I couldn't be more pleased with the bike I purchased. Well worth the trip from Oxford to the shop.

Hi Chris, thanks for the lovely feedback, much appreciated. Hope you enjoy the Cervelo R5 😍

This is my third purchase, and all good.

As usual, good price for my old bike and a simple buying process. No messing about, price better than I would have got from selling privately and without the hassle, and a nearly new bike delivered a few days later. Whats not to like?

Superb buying experience

Got to say the whole cycle exchange buying process was excellent. Tried multiple bikes multiple times, they fixed immediately a number of small issues and the price was great for a bike that to all intents and purposes was in new condition. I'll buy my next bike from cycle exchange for sure.

Excellent experience when I exchanged my Giant Propel Advanced Pro 0 for an S-Works Roubaix. I needed a super light endurance bike and that’s just what I got with my hassle free experience using Cycle Exchange. Highly recommend them.
