First class buying experience.

From initial engagement to delivery 📦 of the frame set the guys at Handsling were first class. Nothing was a bother - amd believe me when Insay I tortured them with messages asking for various measurements and options. The frame set was also delivered by a ‘proper’ courier 🚚 so no issues with bashed up packaging. All I need to do now is build the bike!! Thank you Team Handsling.

Personalised set-up A1 Excellence

Personalised set-up, no pressure sales, experience and knowledge in abundance that made my purchase so easy, thank you so much for my very customised A1R0evoS, can't wait to try it for the first time when Spring finally arrives. The 320 mile round trip to collect was worth it.

Buying my Handsling bike

Buying my Handsling bike would have been my first ever purchase of a brand new bike, and the company made in an unforgettable experience!

From the tour of the entire factory and learning about the history of Handsling to their tailored bike fitting service, they really know how to look after you.

I was originally looking to buy a 54 frame size, but after the bike fit, I was advised that a 56 would be better suited for me, and it is! I don’t know if any other company would have done the same but I’m glad I was given that insight.

Re-spray... like receiving a new bike

Handsling bikes provide excellent advice to help you make a decision on your purchase and never push you into a quick sale. In my case, I sent my current Handsling bike for a re-spray. Communication from Handsling from the point my bike arrived at their premises, until despatch was excellent, and of course the re-spray was awesome. Just like buying a new bike.

Super support and great bike

Good help and knowledgeable communicative support and great bike. The geometry for the track frame was spot on modern and finding the right size bike was made relatively easy with the help of Handsling making a mockup and sending pictures and measurements thereof. Beyond help in finding the right frame they also provided great help making sure the bike would arrive in time for the nationals. Some troubles with shipping (to no fault of Handsling) were picked up by the support crew and dealt with. All in all, great experience.

Handsling have shown how bike buying should be

New bike - the thing that puts Handsling a step above, is the extra help when you’re sizing and how to make sure you get the right fit. The communication / advice from people who have done it all before when you’re doing setup/component choices makes a real difference too. And of course you get a great bike too. Simon, Miles and the team have been great to deal with. Add in that they have chosen to support an up and coming road team as well. Fair play.

Repaint.

Bought a bike from Handsling quite some time ago & had ridden it loads ( including Coast to Coast / Liverpool to Hull / Hull to London ) , in all weather's & notched up some miles.
Everything was okay with the bike but I had put some scuffs & scrapes into the paintwork.
So I contacted Handsling , sorted out the new paint colour , price & time to send it to them.
Sent the fully made up bike - they stripped it down, resprayed it in a beautiful flip paint & reassembled it.
They even supplied ( at a discounted price ) a new chain & a couple of other bits I asked for & fitted them in the rebuild.
Took around 6 weeks from sending it to getting it back & I'm so pleased with it - like I got a new bike.

Top Cyclocross frame

During the cyclocross season, we got more and more happy with the CexEvo.
Very light frame with a really good handling.
Nice colors of really good quality.

Awesome bikes

Awesome bikes, but even better service. Miles and team cannot do enough to help all with a smile and some friendly advice. Nothing is too much trouble, even short notice requests for mechanical assistance!

Great communication, perfect bike

Great communication regarding what riding i want the bike for and advice about gearing. Fantastic choice of colours. It was good to choose all the components with guidance from the Hamdsling teams to get the best within budget.
Handsling kept in touch throughout the build process.
The end result is a beautiful bike that fits me perfectly and is a joy to ride.

Exemplary service from Handsling!

From beginning to end the experience of purchasing my dream bike was fantastic! Being able to choose components and create a truly bespoke machine, under the expert guidance of the Handsling team, was everything I hoped it would be. The lead time proved to be exactly as promised and the finished product is both comfortable and fast!

Myself and another member of my cycling club have both bought from them and our experiences were exactly the same. I will have no hesitation in recommending their services. Thank you once again Handsling!

Buying a Handsling Bike was a joy

Buying a Handsling Bike was a joy, from the very first phone call to make my initial enquiry. They were supportive throughout the whole process (my first bespoke bike), making recommendations, and giving me guidance on where I went wrong on my digital bike fit. Handsling Bike Team, also volunteered to fit my cassette on a wheelset that I purchased outside their vast range. I cannot recommend Handsling enough. It is nice to feel valued as a customer. Thank you the Team at Handsling for making my experience great.
