“Excellent Service !!!”
Written on: 25/04/2013 by Carbon9 (1 review written)
Just a quick note on the service from BuyBikeBits, in a word excellent! Brought a Shimano Dura Ace Chainset yesterday lunch time and I've just unboxed it now. Item is spot on as described and by far the best price available anywhere. It was well packaged with super fast delivery. So a big thanks to Barry. With service and prices like this I'll be back. Cheers. PS - I'm still waiting for the parts I ordered from one of the big online retailers yesterday so that's one up for BuyBikeBits,... (read more)

“Hard to find shock was supplied in a flash.”
Written on: 03/03/2013 by WarrenBurton (1 review written)
My 06 Specialised had a dead rear shock and the OEM unit was impossible to source and none of the online stores had the right length and shape combined. Luckily BBB had the right unit for a near give away price and combined with some new bushings/ reducers from TFtuned got a bike I was considering a write off a new lease of life. Here's to another 6 years from the frame. I might be back for a fresh set of disk brakes to replace the lackluster Hopes (read more)

Really impressed with how BBB dealt with problem of a missing delivery. I phoned BBB after a few days when my parcel had not arrived and after checking things out with the delivery company they did not dispute but re-sent the goods which arrived a couple of days later. Goods arrived in perfect condition and were just what I wanted. Service on the phone was friendly and personable. I had scoured internet for cheapest prices before buying and when I found BBB it crossed my mind this... (read more)

“Why buy here.”
Written on: 20/11/2012
They do what they say, you can't go wrong. As described, good price, quick delivery. Really pleased. Support a British business and buy from these guys. No problem recommending and will use again. This review website is more annoying with its minimum review length. They expect you to write an epic when all you want to say is great service. So, GREAT SERVICE, THANKS. (read more)

Always a bit unsure when trying out a new online retailer I've not heard of before, but there was no need to be in this case. Got a confirmation of payment receipt immediately, and before any other communication had come through, the product had arrived! Next morning after a lunchtime order. Very please with the item and the price was the best on the net. Would definately use them again. (read more)

Just used this company and can't quite believe it! The price was cheapest by a long way and then free delivery too. From ordering to receiving the item was only 24 hours.

“FSA Omega Compact Bar”
Written on: 30/08/2012 by Paleo02 (1 review written)
This was the first time I have purchased anything from Buy Bike Bits. The FSA Omega Compact Bar I found by a Google search, showing that Buy Bike Bits were the cheapest on the net. The purchase was simple, paying through Pay Pal. The correspondence was prompt and efficient and a quick free delivery. The item was well packed with an invoice enclosed. All in all this is a company I would highly recommend to anyone and use myself again if the price is right. (read more)

“FSA Vero Compact Road Handlebar”
Written on: 07/06/2012 by alex_w (0 reviews written)
These handlebars are great value for money. The bars are splayed to give you a good comfortable feel in the drops but it is worth noting that the handlebar width is measured from the bar ends and, for example, a 420mm bar gives you less than 410mm in the drops and about 400mm on the hoods. The compact design means less reach to the hoods and drops, giving you more confidence to change handlebar positions and a slightly more relaxed riding posture. These are great for a novice/sportive... (read more)

Written on: 18/05/2012 by LeRibbler
Came across this site on Ebay. They had a deal on these road tyres so I put an order in about 1630 on a Sat afteroon. They arrived The following Tuesday so can't fault the service. They were sensibly packaged too, not all folded up. Can't make any comment on the tyres, (other than they looked good on a blue Ribble, with their blue rim,) as I sold the bike shortly after. I'd definetly use this co. again. (read more)

I searched the internet for a 50/34 chainset, to either no avail or too expensive. Finally BuyBikeBits came to my rescue. I managed to find exactly what I wanted, a genuine 50/34 campagnolo chainset at a fraction of the price of all the others I'd seen. To top it off, the delivery time was brilliant. 24 hour delivery service....no waiting days on end with my bike in bits for the parts to arrive. I would definately recommend BuyBikeBits to anyone, and I have added them to my favourites in my... (read more)

Thankyou! Searched high and low for some FSA cranks and found them by chance on BBB! Knockout price and outstanding service. Ordered Sunday, Email confirmation then dispatched on Monday! Arrived Tuesday! Very happy! Then the icing on the cake....a phone call from BBB to say that they were out of stock of item but had sent a better one at no extra cost. The replacement part was a real bonus but overall service was quick, friendly, effortless and a bargain aswell. Awesome! I just saved over... (read more)

Written on: 24/04/2012 by saabfan (1 review written)
I found BBB after searching Google for the product I was after, a Shimano HG50 9 speed cassette. They were the cheapest. I placed my order and the goods arrived not long after. Upon opening the package I saw what can only be described as an ex-display cassette. It was not boxed and came with no instructions like it should have. It was held together with a cable tie. It appeared to have been removed from a new bike. Not what I was expecting. The package came with details of their 30 day no... (read more)

After finding BBB via Google I was impressed by their low prices and free shipping, influenced by reading good reviews, and convinced by the speed and efficiency of their service. Instant email confirmation of my order was followed 11 minutes later by notification that the goods had been dispatched. When they arrived next day they were securely packaged, and included a 30 day no quibble return guarantee. At the moment they cannot compete with the big online traders for sheer range of...

I discovered Buy Bike Bits on ebay, and I was pleasantly surprised at both their range of stock, and their prices. I ordered a Promax suspension seat post for my MTB, which cost about half the price that most other retailers were charging. I placed my order during the Easter bank holiday weekend, and I got an email on Tuesday morning, confirming despatch. My item was then delivered to me by Wednesday lunchtime. It was securely packaged, and the seat post was exactly what I wanted. I will... (read more)

“FSA Carbon Handlebar Purchase”

When I finally decided that the carbon handlebars that I wanted for my road were the FSA SL-K Compact, a quick Google search showed Buy Bike Bits with the best price, not knowing too much about Buy Bike Bits made me a little nervous about proceeding but having the protection of PayPal gave me the confidence to go ahead with the deal - and how glad I am!

“FSA 'Omega' Compact Handlebars”
Written on: 17/03/2012
This is the first pair of shallow drop bars I have bought, after some research I settled on the Omega's & have not been dissapointed. The drop, reach & curve of the bar make riding on the tops or the drops comfortable & accessible. On the drops I've found that the whole of my hand is in contact with the bar & operating the shift/brakes is easy & feels safe. The omegas are light too & I've even complimented them with the FSA gel bar tape which is super comfortable,easy to apply & looks... (read more)

Very fast service - I received a despatch confirmation 7 minutes after my paypal payment was processed! Best price for the FSA handlebar on the net. Accepts paypal which is a bonus. Arrived the next day, which is how web purchasing should be. Slight downside: I wasn't sure what the stock level was - my handlebar comes in 3 widths, the stock level said 2 available - so I wasn't sure that my size was in stock. I ordered it anyway because I wasn't in a desperate hurry for the part. Also the... (read more)
