Where To Buy A Bike

Featured Replies

Guys, I'm after a new (to me) used bike...

The question is where to start looking for one?

Obviously, there are the classifieds here - and of course ebay.

Can you suggest any other good places to look?

Thanks - Matt.

local free adds, bike trader & bike shops,

BVM in stroud is not too far away from you, but they have p1$$ed me off, with poor delevery service, so i wont mention them

autotrader sometimes have bikes on, but they seem to be overpriced...

what you looking for??

Suprised at that... BVM, along with John Lampkins, are without doubt the best postal parts service i have ever used. Even phoning in the afternoon almost always results in me getting the parts the next day.

i would agree i have ordered things off BVM at 4pm and still had them for the next day in the past

BUT

i spent over

If there's a delay in the post it isn't really their fault. Have you tried calling them to see if it's on it's way?

last time i did, and i was told it had been sent on thursday, the next time i phoned they said it had been sent on monday,

i have been let down twice now by BVM, i wont give them a third chance

Well if you had a scorpa nothing breaks so you don't need to buy any parts!!!!!! :huh:

Dodgy italian bikes!! :D

Thanks for all the suggestions chaps... Off to trawl around t'internet.

Looking for a road reg'ed '04 Montesa 315R. If anyone knows of anything - PM me!

Cheers - Matt.

Forget all what you heard above - lots of people have dealt with BVM with no problems at all (including me - I have bought bikes and parts there and the service has always been excellent) , the post has been ****e down here over the Xmas period and there's this nice looking '04 on their website

I'm not on their payroll, I just think that in the interest of balance you should also hear some positives.

the last twice i have ordered of them its taken a long time to come, the 1 time i know it was not sent when they first said, & i did not get it for over a week, the 2nd time it took longer than normal.

but, previosly the service has been 100% its put me off them a bit, but mistakes do happen, and the post this time of year is not the best.

BVM are very helpful, and will deal with any problems the best they can,
