Bikes

The bike brands that you find at The Holey Trail are here because we feel they have merit. We have our pick of brands, and while we can’t stock everything, we have chosen Giant, Trek/Fisher, Brompton and Pukey because we think they offer real innovation and value for money, and fit well with the brands in our other stores. Because we want you to be happy with your final purchase, we offer a range of demo bikes for you to try before you buy.

Our policy of providing 1 years free servicing (some restrictions apply) with new bikes means that we will only sell quality bikes. You won't be returning to us to ask why the brakes don’t work when it rains, the cranks fall off after 10 miles, and why the saddle prevents rides of more than 5 miles. We agree with Papa Smurf aka Gareth Jones when he said "You can't polish a turd"

Our Adult bikes start at £250.00, we feel that this is the point at which a bike crosses over from being a poorly functioning disposable waste of resources, to being something of quality, suitable for long term use, and worth servicing and looking after. It will be built to a standard that lets you really enjoy riding it, with quality components from leading brands like Shimano and SRAM, and when correctly maintained, will provide years of comfortable and efficient service.

The bikes that we sell can be broadly broken down into the following categories, OK, so we missed fixed gear road bikes, rigid single speeds, and bikes with the gear shifters rigged up as brake leavers (Seen it done, wasn’t pretty), along with a few other oddities, but for the most part these are the most relevant types of bike for the majority of cyclists, be they new to the sport, or transportation element of cycling, or seasoned long haul truckers.
