New Bike Purchase

Bought a new Giant Defy online from RM Cycles. Got a very good bike at a very good price. The bike came very well packaged in the Giant box and minimal amount of assembly was required.

I had to contact them with a query before it was delivered and they replied very swiftly the same day.

I stay in Scotland and have never used them before but after this bike purchase I would highly recommend them.

H keith, thanks for taking the time to post a review and making a specific comment. The packaging aspect of our OEM ranges is something we do think about regularly. We try to balance cost with recycling and protection whilst being shipped. So your comments are useful when we next review our approach to this aspect of our OEM range

A great end to end service

I ordered my bike online but the payment failed a few times. I called RM Cycles and they were able to advise on where I was going wrong, it was a very minor difference in the address entered that was causing the payment failure. I also had a few further questions regarding the bike following purchase, all of these questions were promptly answered.
The delivery of the bike was free and the bike was very well packed and protected against courier handling.

First time using RM cycles

First time using RM cycles. Having seen the bike I was looking for a competitive price I rang the store to confirm it was in stock and confirmed the correct size for my build from very helpful staff. I ordered the bike on line and received it 3 working days later with free delivery. The bike was expertly packed, just had to mount the bars and front wheel. The electronic gears needed no correction, tyres were at correct pressure and all torque settings correct. All in all a really good purchasing experience. Well done.

RM Cycles were a pleasure to deal with

RM Cycles were a pleasure to deal with. I bought my bike over the web at a great price. But due to the fraud protection from my credit card company I had to speak to several of the guys at RM, all off whom were really helpful. They even held my order for me until I got the flag lifted on my credit card. I was also on holiday when I ordered it and RM helpfully delayed dispatching the bike until the day I returned. Delivery was quick and the bike was easy to get ready for the road. There was also a really nice handwritten cover note from one of the RM guys too which was a really nice personal touch. I'd definitely recommend RM Cycle.

Not so good

Not so good as I haven't received the vouchers, as I haven't had post for a week. Obviously not your fault, but maybe use a different delivery service or r vouchers

Hi Caroline. I think there may have been a mis-understanding somewhere here. We don' send out physical/ Paper gift vouchers. The gidt voucher is actually the code that is on your e-receipt that was automatically emailed to when when the order was porcessed. I have re-sent the email with the code on it. THis can be redeemed onbline or in the shop, all you need is the code. Please do call if you have any more questions.
