Well, i couldn't get a proper booking and get my bike fixed because one of the two guys is on a paternity leave, but nevertheless they still gave a quick look and helped me out with advice and did what they could. So the awesomeness is definitely there despite the unfortunate timing. Certainly my go to bike-service shop from now on!

Took my road bike in for repairs recently. It had been off the road for 6 months as I couldn't find any other mechanic who could get a middle derailier for it. Stewart got my bike back on the road in days at an amazingly fair price. I've been out on it several times and it is running well. Thanks to Stewart and Gear up! Cheers!👍🏽

Amazing knowledge of cycles. I didn't think my first bike was salvageable, these guys were able to put it back together next to nothing. Excellent service!

Took my bike as the chain was rusty gears not responsive and poor brakes and wheel bearing gone
The guy said he would bring it back to life and he did that and more
Had a service and now the bike rides perfectly like when it was new
Had some bad experiences with big chain stores in the past but this shop is a lot better and the standard of repair is much better
Well happy and will use again.

Out of Evans and Scott Cycles and this place, this place were the only ones that could get my gears aligned properly. My bike now doesn't sound like a chainsaw. 100% recommended on the craftsmanship of the work, and the prices are really keen too
