Be excellent to each other

Courtesy on multi-use paths is the right way.

Christmas Club

Yes yes it's only the start of September but we thought you should know that our Xmas club is now in operation. There's no hidden costs & you can take advantage of this payment scheme whether the bike is for Christmas or just a present to yourself ;-)

• Secure any cycle with a 10% deposit
• Make payments as & when you like
• Store your cycle with us until 23 December latest
• Once payment is complete you can collect the bike when you want

 

Rest assured the tinsel & tree will not be making an appearance until December!

There is an alternative - Join OUR club!

Banbury Cycles now has it's very own cycling club. We get lots of feedback from our customers saying that they want to be part of a club that is less about outright racing performance & more about just enjoying cycling. We want to get like minded riders together to enjoy a more relaxed Sunday ride out that is as much about the smiles as the miles :-) The current rides we do involve a cafe stop for refreshments & we would like to offer a variety of different routes to suit all levels of ability.

So how do you join us? Simply buy one of our club shirts & give us your details to get on our riders list.

The shirts are printed locally By E-type press & we are only charging the ticket value of the garment (currently £30). We have chosen a more relaxed fitting shirt which is supplied by Bontrager.

Once you are on board you will also receive: 

• 10% discount in store
• Priority bicycle servicing
• Cuppa when you visit us on your travels wearing your shirt!

We look forward to you joining us on the road...

cheers!

Ice Trike - Barbara's new wheels

We just had some feedback from a customer who had some of our custom wheels built for her Ice recumbent trike.

The rear was built using a Hope Evo hub laced to Halo T2 white rim, black Halo spokes & red Halo nipples. This wheel is built with a 6mm offset for chainline clearance:

The fronts were built using the existing Sturmey Archer drum brake hubs mated to Alex rims with black spokes & Halo red nipples:

These turned out very nice & complement the colour scheme perfectly:

An interesting build & another happy customer - Thanks Barbara & Seamus, see you on the road...

A right carry on

Come & have a chat to find the right solution for you

Surly Long Haul Trucker 58/26

Another custom build for a future tourist. This one using a few donor parts & finished with XT/Halo hand built wheels - Ergon grips - Shimano 9-speed trans - thumb shifters - Marathon + tyres...

We don't cut the steerer tube until the customer is 100% position happy :-)

Surly Troll custom build

We just released this Surly Troll into the wild & another happy customer is now enjoying their new ride.
Built up using the customers old donor bike & some new parts, it turned out very nice. This colour option is called 'Steve's Pants'

Strip off the racks & guards & stick some dirt tyres on it & you also have a very capable off roader...
