Bike Assembly & Accessories

A flat-pack bike is only as safe as its build. We assemble boxed and mail-order bikes properly, build custom bikes from the frame up, and fit the everyday extras — mudguards, racks, baskets, child seats, lights, bells and locks — so they're secure and correctly set up.

Frequently asked questions

helpI ordered a bike online — can you build it?

Yes. Flat-pack and mail-order bikes need proper assembly, torqueing and a safety check to be road-ready. Bring the box in and we'll build it right.

helpCan you fit a child seat safely?

We fit rear and frame-mounted child seats and check compatibility, clearance and torque so it's secure. Bring the bike and the seat and we'll set it up.

helpDo you build bikes from a frame?

We do full custom builds — bring your frame and parts, or ask us to help spec them, and we'll build and set the bike up to a high standard.
