Thank you for coming to visit The Bike Chain on-line.
We aim to offer you a wide range of bikes from Mountain Bikes and Road Bikes through to Cyclo
Cross, Urban, Commuting and Cyclescheme suitable bikes.
Our models come from brands like Cube, Lapierre including the popular 2010 Zesty and Spicy models,
Marin, Yeti, Surly and Ibis, we have the Ibis Mojo, Tranny and Hakkalugi as demo bikes.
As well as this we offer the best bike clothing on the market from brands such as Gore Bike Wear
and De Marchi. We are also soon to be stocking Maloja in 2010. We feature many demo bikes from Ibis, Lapierre, Surly and Yeti - check out the tab up the top.
We pride ourselves on having the best bike care products from Pedros and being the premier outlet
for POC Body Armour in Scotland and the UK. As one of Edinburgh's busiest commuter shops we also offer Ortlieb as they make the best panniers and waterproof bike kit there is.
For those of you looking to get fit or do some training then we offer Tacx and Polar products - as users of all the products we sell and the fact that we keep a tight range of products - we know we can help you better than others.
To help make sure you get the best out of your kit we also offer skills courses with some of our bikes! We can't think of a better way to get the most out of your new bike - MB7 are great guys who can teach you the base skills needed to go faster.
From time to time we need to sell through some Ex Demo bikes - check that section out for amazing deals. All our demo bikes are sold after very light use and have been well looked after.
If you are new to the world of bikes and are a little apprehensive then we have a useful Theme
Selector at the top of the page, this contains types of riding to give you suggestions on what kit
you might want to look at. This is also useful for cycling gifts should you need to find someone a
birthday present. If you know they like Mountain Bikes then select that and sort by price to get ideas of how best to spend your cash.
Being a small focussed shop you won't see all the bike brands in the world offered by us, just the
best ones that we trust, use ourselves and know inside out. This way you really do get the best
deal on your bike kit.
We don't charge shipping on any orders - that's right FREE SHIPPING all the time. This means the price of the product is what you end up paying, not any more.
We take PayPal as well so for those of you who have left your card at home, fret not - you can still buy on your lunch breaks!
One rather nice thing is that this site works straight off the back of our till system so when it says In Stock - it is in stock, here right now. If we are out then we are out. We feel this is important so you know exactly where you stand - no ambiguity or guess work!
One thing we are highly regarded for in Edinburgh for is our workshop - from puncture repair to suspension strip down and rebuilds you can be confident our bike repair and servicing work will be done to the highest standard for the fairest price. Call or email us to book your bike in for some love. There is no type of bike we cannot handle, commuters, mountain bikes, road bikes, tandems, weird ones, old ones are all welcome. We aim to offer a 1 day turnaround, you drop off at 9.30am on your cycle to work and pick up at 5pm on the way home.
If you want to see the best bike kit available then go for a browse through the site or come and
visit us - the address is at the top of the page.
