Bicycle repair is not the typical cycle shop, we do not sell cycles, we are a specialist repair shop. I repair and have a vast knowledge of pedal powered transport in all its forms, from race to Audax, from x-country to downhill and moulton to recumbent.
The shop reflects this diversity of cycles, stocking a large selection of tools, parts and accessories, items such as stainless steel chains, Dura-Ace ball bearings, long reach dual pivot brakes and many more products, each one chosen, as being the best in their field.Many of the products listed are not available to buy in the local bike shop and may also require a degree of specialist knowledge.

Phoned willy bains today looking to get a repair done for same day. Told me he was fully booked which I expected. I explained to him that i was starting a new job in the morning and was difficult to get to by public transport. Willy says straight away bring it in, got there he took the bike says go get a coffee be ready when you get back. True to his word it was. Refused a thankyou bung thanks to him I'll sleep better tonight the mans a star honest grafter with a big heart. Thanks again willy very much appreciated

Could not recommend willy highly enough. Recently bought an old Raleigh road bike recently to commute to the Udc I've been working in during lockdown. I havnt much experience with bikes and the shop i brought it to before willy to have new tyres and brakes fitted were an absolute nightmare and made me feel like an idiot. After this a friend recommended willy. The shop was very busy however since I use my bike to get to work for the NHS willy saw me straight away and didn't charge me for labour. The bike feels brand new and he answered all the questions I had.

I popped into the shop as the screw had fell out of my mud guard. There was a sign in the window saying fully booked but Willy still repaired my bike for me and as if that wasn’t kind enough he didn’t even want to charge me for it. Lovely man and fantastic service! I will definitely be using this shop for future repairs. Thank you Willy!

I bought a bike online from Sports Direct, but when i had set it up, the left pedal would not fit. I needed the pedal fixed asap as my son's birthday was coming up shortly. I called willy and he told me to bring the bike over, i got to the shop, gave him the bike and he had fixed the bike within 10 minutes.
He had saved my boys birthday. I would highly recommend. Great service and great value for money.
Thanks Again Willy.

This was the first time i used the shop after being recommended by a friend. Absolutely fantastic service by a great knowledgeable guy. Half of my bike needed rebuilt with several components replaced. Considering everything that needed done i was very happy with the price. My bike hasn't felt so good since it was bought several years back. There was a minor issue that required fine tuning and Willy was more than happy to sort it there and then. Top man !! Many thanks. Highly recommended and i will be back 100%.

Have known Willy since I was a young boy, firstly with him working for Craig MacMartin. I've taken all my bikes over the years to Willy for work either servicing or building up. I've also had countless wheels trued and built by him.
Seen a few comments about how busy he is and the timescale involved. Have a look how many bikes are there in his shop and remember - he repairs bikes, he doesn't sell them so every bike you see is there for repair/rebuild/service.
You'll get the job done roughly within timescale and at a very good price. You can't judge a 1 man repair shop the same as a main car dealer

Willy Bain is an excellent cycle mechanic who takes personal responsibility for every cycle that goes into the shop. Willy is highly trained and experienced and can do complex work on any kind of cycle but he sees his task as being to keep cyclists mobile. So he will take on small jobs and source parts for cyclists that want to do the job themselves as well. The parts and accessories on sale are quality items and Willy is happy to tell customers about the merits of different products, never trying to sell anything that isn't needed or useful. The fact that Willy cycles to the shop every day

Willy Bain = awesome.My clubmates and I use Willy's shop primarily for his servicing skills - good priced and timely. Just drop the bike off and he will do it when gets around to it - this is a one man run business and depends on how many bikes has in the shop (and I've seen it with only enough space for one customer to get in and out of the door avec bike!) but usually only a couple of days turnaround. Bike back good as new!
