Dear Sir/Madam
I would like to thank your staff for the excellent service they provided me while on my short break from Portugal. They were able help purchase a similar bicycle as I have here. The staff were great setting up and ironing out some small problems without any inconvenience to themselves or me. I returned to Portugal on Friday and now enjoying the cycling here in the sun.
Once again thank you all for your help.

I would like to say a big thank you to all the staff at Bikescene for the superb support I have received while ordering and setting up my new bike. The help and knowledge of your staff is the best I have found anywhere, nothing was too much trouble in setting up the bike, I was on it, adjustment, back on it etc until it was perfect. A great experience and I am so happy with the Bike.
The support I have had since collecting the bike has been just as good. Any question or issue I have is so well handled I am always impressed. It is an 80 mile round trip for me to get to Bikescene but it is worth every mile.
Many thanks.

Hi there
Just a quick note to say thank you so much for resolving the recurring brake problem on my Specialised Sirrus Bike which I successfully rode back to Whitby today - and was able to slow down on hills! Yippee!
Although it’s a real inconvenience having to come to Guisborough to have any work done on the bike, the quality of service you provide makes the inconvenience a very small price to pay. Your genuine surprise and disappointment that I was suffering brake problems again, together with your determination to identify the cause and to resolve the problem were indeed very impressive. I could not ask for a better standard of customer service from you and I want you to know how grateful I am.
Very best wishes from a totally satisfied customer.

I just wanted to let you know how pleased I am with my new bike. I've had around half a dozen rides and it's fantastic, fits like a glove and so smooth to ride.
I'm so pleased that you encouraged me to wait as I could not have had a better choice of machine or better service.
Thanks again for your superb help.
Kind regards

hi Alan,
The parcel arrived on friday. Everything is as it is supposed to be, the spacer fits, and I had the first ride with the bike today. I have to say I am really happy with the service I received from bike scene and I will recommend you when I have a chance.

Dear All
Please pass on my thanks to everyone who was working in the Shop on Saturday 19th August. I had crashed 100 miles into a 600 mile ride and limped into the store needing a new rear derailleur/Chain/wheel true/mech hanger and tlc. Your service was fantastic and the repair carried out immediately, followed by water bottles being filled/ advice on directions north. My bike ran smoothly all the way to Thurso at the top of Scotland where we arrive at 9.30am on Monday morning.
Many thanks again

Hi Alan,
Just wanted to thank you personally for sorting me out with the new Enduro frame last week.
Your outstanding, friendly service will encourage me to drop in next time I'm in the area for sure.
There's a lot to be said for a decent (not-so-local) bike shop that makes the effort to get to know its customers. Glad I chose to purchase through Bike Scene; the drive across was well worth it. Cheers mate.

Hi,
I have just bought two specialized crosstrail hybrid cycles. One for myself and one for my wife.
Can I just say that the level of service we received was outstanding. From our first visit when we spoke with Anthony who explained all the available options and sizings, to Andrew who took our order and arranged the spec and collection date. Then Alan who handed them over and who went that little bit extra to help with the rack on the car. I can honestly say that the three A,s on the staff gave a triple A service. Thank you.

Hi to all at bike scene. I would just like to say a big thanks to all the team for the advice,recomendations and outstanding customer service i have received since first visiting the store at the beginning of the year. I am new to the mtb scene and am often baffled by the sheer amount of products available and the ongoing complexities of looking after and maintenance of the bike. Luckily i have been able to rely on you guys to sort all that for me. From the sales team to the mechanics i have experienced nothing but polite,friendly service and i thank you all for that. A special thumbs up to Andy who recently went out of his way to solve a problem i was having regarding the hydraulic brakes. Cheers mate, all sorted now thanks to your help and advice. So thanks again to everyone and you can count on my ongoing custom as much as i can count on you guys.

Hi the team at Bike scene
A thank you to Andrew on my initial enquiry which resulted in the purchase of 2 Specialized Camber Evo's, a ladies and gents.
Although used they arrived in as new condition packed to ensure perfect on arrival and fully serviced.
Andrew monitored the sale and went through the specification and modifications fitted to my bike.
These far exceeded my expectation and my son, a rider of a Stumpjumper could not believe how competitive the pricing was.
I had dealings with other team members including Antony and everyone was helpful and professional in all dealings with this order.

Hi Brother Alan - the bike arrived! Thank you for the extra packaging to ensure a safe delivery, much appreciated! Everything appears to have arrived in good order. I took the frame to my shop so that they can build it up. It's like an early Christmas :)
Thank you for making this an easy process - and for helping me along the way. I wish you the very best. It's nice that we can do good business while both of our countries are having serious political/economic issues.
Take care,

Hi there
I came into Bike Scene at Guisborough on Thursday to enquire about a new bike. I spoke to your colleague Alan who was most helpful and gave me some valuable advice, pointing me towards a bike that would serve my needs (Specialised Sirrus Comp Carbon Disc 2016). Although you didn't have one in store to show me, Alan arranged for one to be delivered for me to see before deciding to buy. I returned to Guisborough today and spoke once again to Alan and also to Neil, both of whom were excellent in providing me with the guidance I needed to make what for me was a sizeable investment in a bike (twice the price of my previous steed). Without their expertise and their friendly, helpful manner I suspect I would have looked elsewhere for a cheaper alternative (the aluminium framed equivalent model available elsewhere for £750) but they inspired me with confidence because of their knowledge of the products you sell and their enthusiasm so I decided to 'take the plunge' and buy the dearer model from you. Please pass on my thanks to them for an excellent level of customer service. I'm now looking forward to collecting the bike and giving it a trial run.
Best wishes

Alan and the team at Bike Scene provided an excellent level of service for my mail-order purchase. They assisted me prior to the sale with choosing the right frame to fit my size and riding requirements and responded to any queries I had promptly and professionally via email and telephone and with photos. Once the order was placed, delivery was swift and David did an excellent job to ensure that the bike was packaged safely and securely in order to provide maximum protection. It's easy to be apprehensive about buying bikes online, but the quality of the service made the whole experience feel like I was visiting my local bike shop; testimony to their experienced and passionate staff! I will definitely be recommending Bike Scene to other riders in my club.
Thanks,

Just a quick note to say how consistently impressed I've been each time I
phone the shop to make an enquiry prior to an order. Whoever I speak to, I'm
always greeted with the same "nothing is too much trouble" service and attention to
detail. Needless to say, I've always been delighted with the products I receive.

Just wanted to say how good an experience I had at the shop today.
Everyone I spoke to were amazing, the bike also. In a day where customer
service is sometimes very difficult due to expectations etc, your staff
were all spot on and a credit to the shop. I have no doubt I'll be
ordering a turbo when availability opens up and I can get some pals on one
too.
Thank you once again.

Hi Guys
What a fantastic service you gave me this week, thanks. To recap l spoke to four members of staff on Monday the 23rd on various points regarding the purchase of a bike (Ian, Andrew, Alan and a technician) All members of staff were very helpful and knowledgeable in helping me make my purchase. Bike ordered 2pm that day, it arrived at 9am on Wednesdays the 25th inst via TNT as agreed. After just over 2 hours of completing the assembly of the bike including odometer l was off for a 20 mile bike ride and the bike performed perfectly with no missed gear changes, great braking and the fitted spacers in the brake levers giving me a better reach were ideal. This service was second to none and your business deserves to prosper as you set the customer service bar very high. A lot of businesses could learn from the ethos of Bike Scene. Good luck for the future
Thanks again, kind regards to all

Thanks also for you service and advice regarding size. At first I thought not being able to order directly online was a bit annoying. But after I spoke to you and ordered over the phone, I actually felt that it was much better as I got speak with someone who seemed genuinely interested in bikes and bike riding. I Will definitely order from you again.

Hello Anthony
I contacted you and then met you at your shop end March/early April - you sold me new casette for my Fuji Ace roadbike, installed it and also adjusted my wheel.
Thank you for the excellent advice you gave me and the work that was done. I was looking for slightly easier set-up to go uphills and what you did for me works perfectly.
I am sorry I did not thank you sooner.

Just to let you know the bike arrived safely and it looks fabulous!
It's been a real pleasure working with you over the last few weeks to spec and build the bike. You and the team have been incredibly helpful and made the process very easy. At each stage you took the time to understand my requirements and provided sage advice, often steering me in the right direction!
You provided an excellent and 'real value for money' service. I would have no hesitation in recommending you to my friends.

Hi Antony!
I've now tested the bike on my "home trail" and I'm more than satisfied! Really glad that I did upgrade the wheels and gears, X01 system works perfectly.
I also want to thank you for the nice and competent response from you, really appreciate that you make suggestions on rims, hub colors and so on.
So now you have one more happy customer and I am going to recommend you to my friends.

Hi,
I recently purchased a Specialized Rockhopper on your 0% Finance scheme.
Just to say that the Bike and scheme are Brilliant. I have been riding a very old GT Outpost Trail since 1997 and vastly appreciate the differences that ‘modern technology’ makes. I am really looking forward to progressing my experiences and skills with a bike that will perform so much better. More importantly, already appreciating the increased comfort that front suspension brings!
Thank you for your excellent customer care and on-going approach to someone who must come across as a numpty.
Many thanks,
Callum.

Hello
Just a quick note to say how pleased I am with the bike and the whole of my dealings with Bike Scene.
Would you please pass on my sincere thanks to Ian as well. He was a complete pleasure to deal with, patient with my noob questions (I'm an old-school MTBer) and he's set up the bike so it fits like the proverbial biking mitt.
I'd also like to pass on my appreciation to your workshop as it's running like a Swiss watch of a bike straight out of the box as it were.
I hope to deal again with you again soon, just wish you were slightly nearer!
Best wishes

Hi,
Just wanted to drop you a quick email to thank you for the wonderful service I received. I contacted you numerous times asking lots of questions and it was never too much trouble! I am very very pleased with the bike. The frame was delivered next day as promised, really well packaged with all the parts properly fitted. I would certainly use you again and would highly recommend you to anyone.

Hi
Just a quick note to say thanks with your help and purchase today of the Specialized Allez 61cm.
Even though on our initial visit the shop was busy, your staff were helpful and spent time with us explaining our options and trying out different size bikes.
Afterwards we went to call at other bike shops within the area, they were indifferent and in one case told us lies to get us into their shop. This particular shop seemed completely disinterested when we arrived especially given our budget, something we didn't experience at Bike Scene.
A further thanks for having the bike ready on the same day even though it was within a half hour of closing!
Given our experience today, I would have no hesitation in recommending Bike Scene

Hello Bike Scene team
I am sending a quick email to thank one of your team members. Mark came to my rescue whilst I was on a biking holiday in the North York Moors with my boyfriend. I was having gear changing problems whilst on a ride around Danby on Sunday 26th May. Mark spent a good half hour (maybe even 45 minutes!) on his day off sorting the problem. He wouldn't even accept any money off us. My gears now change better than they did before they started playing up! He was an absolute star!

Just a quick email to say thanks to Andrew, Ian, and David for sorting out the two Spesh Stumpjumper FSR frames last week. They arrived as promised on Friday, were built up on Saturday, and duly given a 20 mile thrashing on Sunday! Both Scott and I were deeply impressed with the bikes, and within 30 mins of riding them managed to put in a personal best on Strava down a trail we must have ridden over 50 times, so definitely a measure of the quality of the bikes!
Many thanks,
Adam

Hi Antony,
I just wanted to write you a quick note to say thank you for all your assistance when handling my recent purchase of the Epic Comp. I’m pleased to report that the bike safely arrived and looks even better in the flesh than it does in any of the pictures that I had previously seen.

The bike arrived in perfect condition, and the next day, as i was told.
Ive been out on it today and it rides perfect.
I will recommend you to other people for sure.

Hi
Just a quick e-mail to say thanks for the prompt attention provided when i
ordered a Specialized Hardrock SE bike from yourselves on Monday morning
of this week.
The bike was ordered on Monday, delivered on Tuesday and is being ridden
today (Wednesday)!! What a fabulous service you provide.
I shall have no hesitation in promoting your business to friends and
family in the future and it was the positive experience that i had a few
years ago when i bought a Marin bike from you that prompted me to return
to you this week - and the excellent service is still being provided!!
Once again, many thanks and well done!!

I would like to extend my personal gratitude to Antony and Jane. Additionally, i don't normally have the time or indeed the inclination to convey my gratitude to a supplier, but in this case i have to make an exception, Bike Scene has provided me with exceptional Customer Service, for me it is a very rare occurrence to deal with a supplier who is a specialist in their field and who employs such wonderful, enthusiastic and knowledgeable people, so double respect and a big salute from me.

I just wanted to say a big 'Thank you' for all your help this weekend with getting me back on the trails. Anthony went above and beyond to help with fixing my broken Hope pro 2 axle.
I must say your after sales/customer service reminded my why I decided to travel past a lot of other bike stores to purchase my Orange 5 almost 18 months ago now.
Thanks again for all your help always first choice for advice & a reliable service, just wish you were a little closer to Gateshead.
Cheers!

Dear Bike Scene,
Just a quick note to say - my epic evo arrived yesterday - all is fine with it.
I thought it was very well packaged and secure.
Thank you also for sending me the spare tubes - they arrived in the post today - unexpected but a nice touch.
This is the first bike, I have bought through mail order/ web, and thought the whole process was very smooth and straight forward.
Looking forwards to getting out on it now.
Thanks again,
Murray

To all at Bike Scene.
Just a quick note to thank you all for your exceptional service
last week. I thought I was pushing my luck slightly to try and
order some new bars and stem on a thursday afternoon for riding
on Saturday but after a quick phone call, my new FSA Bars and
stem arrived before lunch on Friday as promised, all at a bargain
price too!
Your site has been added to my favorites and I will definitely
recommend you to any friends who are looking for new gear.
I look forward to popping into the shop when I'm next over that
way and look forward to buying from you again.
Many thanks

Dear Sirs,
I just wanted to write to say a big Thank You to your oultet, and to
David in particular.
As a 50+ I recently made the decision to take up mountain biking. I live
in Darlington so went in and spoke to the 2 or 3 shops here, seeking
advice on costs, models, etc. and left each one feeling more deflated
and confused than before I went in. Then a friend suggested your shop,
so off I toddled one Saturday morning allocationg 30 minutes. Your
Assistant David was that thorough and helpful that I was in there nearly
2 hours, but left having placed an order for a new Specialised
Rockhopper and being totally convinced that the decision was right and
that I knew what the next steps were, including gear I needed.
I subsequently took delivery of my bike, have had masses amount of fun
on it and it has been in for it's free service (again all done with
fantastic helpfullness). Every step of owing a bike has been a greater
pleasure than I imagined, and the help and support from your staff has
been fantastic.
Thank you very much.
Yours
Tony

Just wanted to say what a pleasure it was to be able to walk into a shop and receive the service I did on Saturday. Very rare these days that a person will actually go through in detail about the product you are buying. Managed to get the bike out on Saturday for a 20 mile ride and I couldn't be more happier with my choice and the extra equipment I bought. I will definitely be recommended you guys to anyone that asks me about bikes or needs any advice on them.
