How a workshop booking works
Four steps from your request to a bike that rides like new.
Send a request
Pick the service, the day you would like to drop the bike off and a morning or afternoon slot.
We confirm the slot
Within one working day we accept it, offer another day, or explain why we cannot take the job.
Drop off and check
A mechanic looks the bike over with you and notes anything that needs parts.
Call, fix and ride
We phone before fitting any part over $20, road test the bike, then call when it is ready.
Bicycles, by enquiry
Bikes are sold in person, after a chat about how you ride and a test ride on the right size. Tell us what you are after and we line up two or three to try.

Every new bike leaves with a fitting, a check after six weeks once the cables have settled, and a year of safety checks at no extra cost.
Which frame size?
Height gives a starting point and inside leg narrows it down. Makers size their frames differently, so a test ride settles it.
| Rider height | City and hybrid | Road and gravel | Mountain |
|---|---|---|---|
| 150 to 160 cm (59 to 63 in) | XS | 47 to 50 cm | XS or S |
| 160 to 170 cm (63 to 67 in) | S | 50 to 53 cm | S |
| 170 to 180 cm (67 to 71 in) | M | 53 to 56 cm | M |
| 180 to 190 cm (71 to 75 in) | L | 56 to 58 cm | L |
| 190 to 200 cm (75 to 79 in) | XL | 58 to 61 cm | XL |
Between two sizes, riders with long legs for their height often suit the larger frame, and riders who like to sit upright the smaller one.
A workshop that explains before it charges
Every bike goes on the stand with you at drop off, so you hear what is worn and what can wait. If a part costs more than $20 we phone before fitting it, and the old parts come back in a bag with the bike if you want to see them.
Our mechanics work on road, gravel, mountain, city, cargo and electric bikes, and on children's bikes too. Every job ends with a road test by the mechanic who did the work.
- Checked with you at drop off
- A call before any part over $20
- Road tested by the mechanic who did the work
Ridden and reviewed (example reviews)
Dropped the bike off on Monday, took a call about a worn chain, said yes, and collected it on Wednesday shifting like new.
Three city bikes to try along the river path before they suggested the medium, and the fit has been spot on for the commute.
The puncture went in at nine and was fixed by lunch, and they showed us the worn tyre so it would not happen again next week.
Questions riders ask
How long does a service take?
A safety check is usually done while you wait or within the day. Standard and electric bike services are ready within 48 hours, and a full service takes three to four days, a little longer in spring when everyone books at once.
Is booking needed for a repair?
Booking keeps the wait short, so send a request for a slot. Punctures and small adjustments can be dropped in without one, and punctures in by 10:00 are fixed the same day.
Why are bicycles not sold online?
A bike in the wrong size is uncomfortable and can be unsafe, so every bike is sold after a conversation and a test ride. Send an enquiry with how you ride and your height, and the right sizes will be waiting when you visit.
Can you service an electric bike?
Yes. The electric bike service covers the battery, motor and wiring as well as the brakes and gears. Rules on electric bike speed and power vary by country, and we never unlock or remove a speed limit.
How is helmet size measured?
Wrap a tape measure around the head just above the eyebrows and ears, and choose the size that covers that number. Helmet safety standards differ between countries, and every helmet we sell meets the one required where we sell it.
What does the workshop guarantee cover?
Labour is guaranteed for 90 days. If an adjustment slips or a part we fitted turns out faulty in that time, bring the bike back and we put it right without a labour charge.
Do you collect bikes?
Yes, within 10 km for $15 each way. Choose collection on the booking form and we agree a time when we confirm the slot.
Book a service or ask about a bike
Choose a service and the day you would like to drop the bike off, or tell us about the bicycle you are after. A mechanic answers within one working day, confirming the slot, offering another day or answering your question.
- Nothing is booked until we confirm
- Parts over $20 fitted only with your yes
- Payment settled directly at collection
