Few issues which were deal correctly.

Really helpful staff, great products and I found a good deal on a bike. After a few weeks I am still loving it and appreciating their free 6 week service

Very helpful and friendly. Advised me on helmets, i found a comfy one at last.

Changed the headset and gave a general service to my bike. Rides really nicely now. Thanks.

Awesome service very pleased with the workshop staff many thanks to him..

I recently bought a pair of cycling gloves through Balfe's after trying to order them directly from Specialized. Unfortunately, every time I attempted to complete the order on Specialized’s website, I encountered an error.

Balfe's came up as the next best option—and I’m so glad I chose them. The entire process, from adding to the basket to payment verification, was quick and hassle-free. The gloves were delivered as promised to my local store in Hackney, and the staff behind the counter were incredibly helpful and friendly.

It’s refreshing to have such a smooth shopping experience. If you’re looking for a reliable retailer that gets it right the first time, I highly recommend Balfe's. I’ll definitely be using them again.

After its service at Balfe’s my bike feels like new and is a pleasure to ride

Always helpful and friendly service. I like going there.

Although there was some confusion about the time my bike was booked in for and some confusion about when I could collect my bike, the actual servicing and customer interaction was great. I am very happy with the work completed on my bike, thanks.

Bought my first bike from Balfe's and couldn't recommend them enough. Everything was great, including the bike itself and the customer service and answering my questions. Thanks again!

Good communication, quick service and a good price.

The gear cable snapped so I got it replaced, but the gears weren't indexed, only the cable was replaced.

The staff are very friendly and helpful, but they are busy, they said I would get my quote within 24 hours but 48 hours later I had to remind them, then got it an hour later and confirmed the work almost immediately, another 48 hours passed an dI called to se when it would be ready to collect, only to be asked why I hadnt replied to the quote email. When I sad that I had , and when , they apologised, said they'd complete the wok quickly, which the did and its all working perfectly now. So generally happy with the work done.

Fantastic service

Super impressed with Balfe's. Thinking about buying a bike online? I suggest you call the company first. I went with Balfe's as they actually (a) pick up calls and (b) were friendly and helpful. I wouldn't like to have to return a bike to a company that doesn't answer the phone. The bike arrived in store within 2 days, was built the following day and adjusted to fit. Exceptional service throughout. Balfe's have clearly put a lot of thought into customer care. I have three more bikes to buy for the family and I'm not going anywhere else.

Thank you for the swift and smooth
Help and support.

I put my bike in for a service at Balfe's Hackney branch. After a lengthy conversation over the phone with a staff member (Mike K?) about scope of work and agreed price then gave them the go ahead. 11 days later, when I went to pick it up, work hadn’t even begun. I wasn’t happy about that, even less happy with the glib “…mistakes happen…” from the guy in the workshop. When your bike is your main mode of transport that’s a pretty unthinking response. I took my bike away. Organisation and Team management clearly not a strong point, which doesn’t bode well for quality of work, I’d rather not risk it.
