Buying online - is it really just about the price?

Buying online - is it really just about the price?

We’re a social bunch and would always prefer to deal with a customer face to face, but that’s not alway possible. As such, we try to take as similar approach as possible online to our stores - our online business is an extension of our physical stores, not the opposite! If you have any queries or questions on anything, we’ll always do our best to answer and provide honest / informed advice. There’s no such thing as a stupid question! 

There are lots of online options out there, so why choose Primo Cycles, even if we appear more expensive initially? Well, there are many reasons, but the two most pertinent are the following:

Ready to ride

All bikes sold online are fully assembled in our store workshops by our qualified mechanics as if a customer were riding the bike away from the store. The approach is identical. We then have to remove the handlebars for packaging, but ultimately this is generally all you will need to re-assemble upon delivery. That and setting your saddle height and your pedals, if not sourced with the bike. We will never send a bike on to you that hasn’t been through this process. This is a key differentiator from some of our peers! This is also why we might not be the cheapest option on the face of it. Remember, you get what you pay for. You won’t find yourself bleeding brake cables, or looking at kinked cables, ultimately leading to additional costs.

honest, independent, Expert advice

We are an independent, family-run business and are genuinely passionate about cycling, supporting Cambridge’s cyclists since 2009. Our professional bike fitter, Ben Hallam, has spent his life in cycling, racing internationally on the track with the GB squad as a Junior and Under 23 as well as living in France and Belgium racing in the road at the UCI Continental level in races like the Tour of Britain. With a degree in Sports Rehabilitation and Injury Prevention, he now combines the knowledge of his racing and his degree with industry leading equipment such as the STT 3DMA motion tracking system, BioRacer Aero and Sidas custom footbeds to offer a comprehensive service to customers ranging from beginners to top level pros. As such, we are uniquely placed to provide advice that you can genuinely rely on, regardless of age or ability.

In conclusion, when it comes to buying online, it's essential to look beyond the price. Primo Cycles offers a customer-centric approach with fully assembled bikes, expert advice from qualified mechanics, and a commitment to honest, independent service. With a passion for cycling and years of experience, Primo Cycles is a trusted choice for cyclists of all levels. You get what you pay for, and Primo Cycles delivers quality and reliability beyond just the initial cost.
