Testimonials

Massive thank you to John for his fantastic service today collected my bike and returned in a day great work and excellent price would definitely recommend

Hi John,

Just to say after a few rides that the bike has never ridden better. Much appreciated and I’ll definitely be back!

Luckily for me I happened to bump into John from bike buddy just as my chain nearly fell off clumbing the Bostal in Steyning. I was test driving my new boardman e bike by going up the biggest hill possoble near me. John was so kind and quickly fixed the problem with the rear derailleur which clearly had been put together in a rush incorrectly. I then whipped up the Bostal and had such a fun circular ride over the downs along the seafront and back to Steyning. John and his partner were so verk kind and helpful and I will now be taking my bike to him for any future repairs and services. Thank you so much.

This guy is great! Very convenient and fast , professional service. I will definitely be using him again. Highly recommended!

Hi John,
Just taken the bike out and it rides like new! Thanks so much for sorting it out. Best regards

I’m incredibly impressed with the service provided by John. I built my new bike myself, but hit a brick wall with bleeding the rear brake so contacted John who initially provided some advice to see if I could get it sorted myself. That failed so I dropped it with John the next day and also got him to tape my bars which was the other job I was dreading. Bike was turned around very quickly and for a very reasonable price. Excellent service, thank you.

John was awesome, sorted my Scott CX rear derailleur (bent) in a few minutes at v. short notice and charged a very reasonable £15. Good chat and a lovely guy. He even tightened my headset as an added extra and gave the best of advice on sourcing some other parts I’ll need. Brilliant job, John, I’ll be recommending you (o:

Thanks so much for sorting the Brompton. It rides absolutely beautifully, it hasn’t felt that good in ages.

John gave my ancient bike a new lease of life with thoughtful use of second hand parts to manage the costs without compromising the quality. And there was great service too meeting me at a local station and delivering what was promised when it was promised. A really good experience and a  whole new feel to the bike. Never gone better. I’d thoroughly recommended John and Bike Buddy.

Hi John,

Just to let you know how pleased I am with your help with my puncture.

I shall recommend to everyone I know who cycles.

Hi John

I have been for several rides on the Roubaix since you carried out the work and wanted you to know that I am very pleased with what you have done.

When the part arrives for the saddle stem, please let me know and I will pop over.

Many thanks

John has completely overhauled my 22 year old Kona MTB. What a difference, rides like a new bike!!

Would definitely recommend.

Thanks

Many thanks John for all the work on my winter Cube,it’s a pleasure knowing that you take great care and attention to every detail. Thank you Roger.

Hi John, what can I say apart from what a fantastic job on my bike, it has never been so smooth and a pleasure to ride, even from when I had it built.
Thank you so much.

My experience with John and Bike Buddy has been exceptional!

I contacted him on Monday morning regarding my bike which was desperately in need of TLC. Within an hour and a half John had come to see me at work, instantly fixed one of my bikes issues, advised what else needed fixing and taken it away to repair it. His communication was amazing, checking that I was happy to spend the extra money needed for my unusual sized tyres and advising that because he needed to order the tyres it would take an extra day to sort my bike, which wasn’t a problem.  The following day he called me to advise that my bike was ready a day early and dropped it off to my home for me!  He had also gone the extra mile by finding a bracket for my back light and replacing my bell.

I cannot praise John and his service enough, I will definitely be using Bike Buddy to keep my trusty stead roadworthy in future, thank you!

John not only did a ’24 hr’ fix for an aggravating Bottom Bracket issue on my race bike, it was also returned with an unexpected degrease/ clean of Chain/cassette and a ‘once over’ on my brakes too – Nice knowledgable guy and can highly recommended

Having had a ongoing problem of a bottom bracket like sound,john has cured the noise.

Very happy with his diagnosis and professional quick response all in a day.

Having had the local bicycle shop close down and finding myself being ill prepared (it’s a long story, I won’t bore you)  for a puncture mid week on a bike I rely on to get me to work and generally everywhere from A-Z I desperately racked my brain as to what I could do so I did a quick search for bike maintenance and found John, so glad I did, rang him, he came round that evening and replaced the inner tube for a reasonable price too, no hassle, no fuss,  a genuine human being, saved my bacon, good to have him around, thanks again John! 

Quick service and fixed all the little niggles with my bike which is now running better than ever….
