Unfortunately

Unfortunately, I must say with regret that the bicycle arrived to me damaged – the rear derailleur is bent. I don’t know if this happened during transport, and I am not blaming anyone. I work away from home and I am not at home from Monday to Friday. My son, together with my friend, assembled the bicycle, and my wife threw away the box. It turned out that the rear derailleur is bent, because the chain keeps catching, so the derailleur is misaligned. Since the box was thrown away, I didn’t even try to submit a claim, because I have no way to return the bicycle.

I went to Halfords to diagnose the issue, and they confirmed that the rear derailleur is bent and needs to be replaced entirely. It’s a great bike, but unfortunately, I have to state that it arrived damaged.

Thank you very much, best regards.

Thank you for getting in touch and for sharing the details of your experience. We’re really sorry to hear about the issue with your bike and we would have loved the chance to make this right. We’ve looked back through our records and we can’t find any previous call or email from you regarding this, so we haven’t had the opportunity to assist until now.

The guys at Cycle Revolution are so…

The guys at Cycle Revolution are so helpful, friendly and knowledgable. My two Sons and I have been going there for bikes, accessories and servicing for the last 20+ years and wouldn’t go anywhere else. A real asset to Colchester. We go all over the country riding and can honestly say we haven’t found as good a shop as this. Thanks to the team.

Thank you for your message, and I’m genuinely sorry to hear about the issues you've experienced with your bike. We completely understand how frustrating that must be. After reviewing our records, we’re unable to find any sale of a Trance Elite under your name from our Norwich store, nor do we have any previous communication from you regarding a warranty claim for this model.

That said, we want to help clarify the process:
What you’ve been advised to do (take your bike to your nearest authorised Giant dealer) is standard practice across the cycling industry. This approach is in place to ensure convenience and faster service, especially when it comes to warranty issues like motor replacements, which can often be handled locally rather than returning the bike to the original retailer.

If you did purchase your bike from us and there's been any confusion or if you can provide more details, email us at support@cyclerevolution.net, we’d be happy to investigate further and support you however we can. We’re always here to help.

Great service and knowledgeable staff

My son and I popped into the store in Norwich oafter his Giant Talon back wheel locked up and had lose parts in it, on the off chance someone could advise us what is wrong, James kindly took a look at it and was very friendly and knowledgeable able knew exactly what the problem was, he went above and beyond for us and managed to fix it for us the same day. He gave us loads of advice regarding the rest of the bike. We will definitely be returning when it is due a service. Thank you for making my son's day he had been lost without having his bike.
