Rated 5 out of 5 stars

John gave me excellent advice on the chainline for our 1983 Claud Butler and hey presto, bottom bracket arrived the following day. Why shop anywhere else! Thanks Team Spa

I've been using Spa Cycles for decades, I've had several wheels built by them and I always buy my tyres from them. Never had anything but five star service. I've also bought several saddles and... See more

Normally I'd say no one gets 5 stars on principle but really there's nothing not to like here. I ordered a pair of Shimano brake calibers on Tuesday and they arrived today, two days later well packed... See more

Unreliable for mail order purchases

Based on my recent experience I would not recommend this firm for mail order purchases. I recently ordered a frame and a couple of small components through the website. It turned out the frame wasn't in stock, contrary to the impression given on the website, but to be fair they did get one in and fitted the headset and faced the frame before dispatch. So far so good, but when the frame arrived the other items were missing from the box. So I phoned to enquire if they had been overlooked, or were coming separately. They had been overlooked, but would be sent that day. By the end of the week they had not arrived, so phoned again to chase. Oh, they hadn't been sent yet. OK I said, can I cancel the order for these bits and get a refund? Yes, no problem, I'll do it now. Weeks have now passed and I'm still waiting for the refund. And they are not replying to emails either.

Which is all very sad really, because they advertise stock that is hard to find elsewhere, and impossible from the major online retailers. There are several other things I could do with that Spa list, but I won't order because I no longer have confidence that the order will be fulfilled.

Two stars for the frame at a good price, but not the other three because of unreliability and poor complaints handling.

Great on early orders but not so great when things go wrong at their end, costing me a lot of time and money

Previously reviewed Spa Cycles as being very good, which they were on two separate orders with friendly advice and fast dispatch. Unfortunately, a successive order for rims was messed up, with the order not being processed at their end - despite payment being reserved against my card - and the items subsequently going out of stock with their supplier. I only discovered this on the anticipated date of delivery when I called to see what was going on. Their response was rude and unapologetic, completely at odds with the previously great customer service I'd received. Due to the delay the rims were by then out of stock everywhere else. I had to order an alternative for twice the money and with two weeks of lost time. Such a shame as I'd happily have recommended them based on the previous orders.

Very Happy

Bought shimano 105 R7000 shifters from Spa Cycles. They were cheaper than any other online bike shop. They came very quickly and so I would definitely use Spa Cycles again

Bunch of clowns…

Cant even tell the difference between presta and schrader valves. Totally useless and hollow promises. Got the wrong order still waiting for them to correct it and have still been charged 24 hour £5 delivery premium. It's taken 4 days so far. Really what a bunch of clowns

An Excellent Company

Really fast service, good friendly communications, and first class products at a reasonable price! I recommend this company.

This is a fantastic place

This is a fantastic place. I was looking to rebuild a pair of wheels, and the advice they gave me meant that I refurbished my existing hubs rather than buying new ones. They gave the best advice, even though it meant not maximising sales - really amazing service, a proper bike shop!
