Bike Mechanic
David serviced and cleaned my bike from top to bottom. It was like getting on a brand new bike ! Fantastic service. Thank you.
My electric bike needed a new battery. David Bikes sourced a genuine replacement and cleaned out the battery compartment when refitting it.
David looks after all the bikes in our household. Very reliable and works to a high standard.
David came round the same day and serviced the hydraulic disc brakes on my Boardman hybrid bike. Fast response and very reasonably priced. Thanx.
Testimonial from Gregory Moroney Barnett, October 2020
Liveridge Hill - Done. Big achievement.
During Lockdown I achieved 1000 miles on a Carrera Hybrid. To reach the next level, David McMillan supported. Various options were discussed to improve my hill climbing and speed. As part of the service a new 11-34 cassette and some Schwalbe Marathons replaced the stock Carrera parts and lead to the above achievement.
