Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Looking at 269 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers frequently praise the products, highlighting the excellent condition and quality of the bikes received, often noting they look even better than described. The staff consistently receives commendation for their helpfulness, knowledge, and dedication, providing exceptional sales support and making the purchasing process smooth. The service, including modifications and thorough checks, is described as professional and efficient, with many appreciating the personalized attention.

Sales people

Definitely the sales people made my experience great. They knew a lot about the products they sell and were very kind and patient with me. They offered me to do test drives and guided me through my decision.

Vitus zx-1 evo sram red axs ordered on-line and received a couple of days, well packaged.

Superb bike hardly a mark on it and the main one on the downtube was rubbed off by the guy at Bicycle Lounge who did a bike fit, he was impressed too looking at the spec and the price and the condition etc.

just a shame the original Reynolds wheels weren't on it as they are for sale on CE ? ?

Really impressed with Cycle Exchange

I find it quite rare nowadays to find a company that actually does what they say without chasing, drama or some level of inconvenience, so Cycle Exchange were a pleasant surprise. The response time to queries is really quick and the order process is straight forward, even when cycle scheme vouchers are involved. My only negative observation was the delivery (and this may have been down to the courier) which although was very fast, the bike was delivered without any notice and it was just by luck that I was at home. Overall, I would definitely buy from Cycle Exchange again.

Morning, thanks for taking the time to provide this lovely feedback. Hope you enjoy the new bike and sorry that there was no notification on the delivery, I'll look into this to ensure it doesn't happen again so if you wanted to send us a separate email with your details I can see what happened. All the best.
