Testimonials

Martin White

Nice chap knows what he is doing

Bike feels great Ian, thanks so much for your efforts and quick turn around.  Great service, cheers.  Darren

Pulling my summer bike out of the garage in anticipation of some decent weather coming up, I discovered a few problems with my gears which, despite a couple of hours trying, I could not sort out. I usually do all my own bike servicing, but this time I was stumped! Then I remembered Ian and Bowland Cycles. Despite turning up unannounced at his workshop, Ian took the bike in and soon diagnosed the problem, along with a few other lesser problems. Fitting the work in between 'booked in' bikes, he soon had the job done and to a standard i could never have matched.The man is a perfectionist! My bike now feels and rides like a new one, a real pleasure to ride again. I am a Bowland Cycles convert and will be booking my bike in for a full service in future to keep it in 'as new' condition - Michael Coleran

Gary Dagnall was pleased when he finally got to ride his newly serviced bike: "Ian, finally got to get out on the bike for the first time since the service, what a difference. The money was well spent as my old treader feels like a totally different bike. Very impressed I will certainly use your services again, thanks."

"Thanks for amazing service on my Dolan L'Etape,. Your thoroughness and attention to detail has given me bike far better than when it was first ridden. A truly professional service and great value, thanks!" - Nigel Buer

Andrew Moxham's feedback said "I just wanted to drop you a note to say thankyou for looking at my bike at such short notice this week. I thoroughly enjoyed my run home from work this evening and was flat out for the duration. The bike felt great, changing up and down silky smooth and a handful of Strava PBs thrown in for good measure. It felt like new again if not better and it was a great feeling to have confidence in the way the bike was set up."

Mark Dickinson commented; "First ride on the rubble since you had her today mate - gears are 10x better than when I picked it up new. Cheers mate."

Richard Stott following the full build of his Colnago C60 with full record 2015 groupset: "Hi Ian just to let you know the bike is running perfect. It's fantastic to ride, thanks mate."

"My Kona touring bike is now up and running smoothly for another long tour. It is feeling and looking as good as it ever did. The perfect combination of a professional job with a very personal service. Now I've found Bowland Cycles I'd never go to another bike shop." - Alex

"Thanks Ian for the terrific job you did on my Orbea. Went for a 20 mile blast yesterday. Like riding a new bike. Looks great, rides great. In fact Ian, the bike looks so good I might stop riding it and just keep it in the garage to gaze at in wonder." - Stephen Berry

"Ian, Fantastic job, my ORBEA is superb!! BOWLAND CYCLES ROCKS!" - Shaun

"Thank you for doing my bike so lovely. She was riding like a dream with not a creak in sight yesterday. Everyone was admiring her - I felt very proud. I've given your card to a couple of lasses at COLTS - so you may get a call from them. Thanks again." - Chris

"Thank you so much for building my first road bike and for taking the time to explain it to me and make sure I knew what I was doing. Nothing was too much trouble for you which I really appreciated. I was really impressed with the one to one service. I have always been worried about going to bike shops and being just another number but this is not the case with Bowland Cycles. What I really appreciated is that I can arrive in hours that suit me and my work situation and not have to worry about opening times. Many thanks." - Paul Lawrence

"Hi Ian, I would just like to say a big thank you for the excellent service I recived on the recent work done on my bike, it really is a first rate job. My bike is like new again A***** work all the way. Once again thank you and I will have no hesitation on recomending Bowland Cycles to my friends." - Lynn Holding

"Great service from Bowland Cycles. Hopefully, if the weather is good tomorrow I will take it for a spin. The set-up feels great I will certainly take my bike back for servicing and tweaks." - David Hodgson

"Put the bike through its paces today and it's so much improved it's really a pleasure to ride. Now my other half is having trouble keeping up with me!" - Gwen Ainsworth
