“Fantastic Service”
Visit www.veloecosse.comAfter several attempts to find a Chain Johnny in the UK Madison pointed me to Velo Ecosse, glad they did. The RRP was discounted, the post was free and it was delivered next day before lunch. Great service and thank you....

“Brilliant service....”
Visit www.veloecosse.comFirst time I have used this store for some new tri shoes.....I did not check the shoe size and they gave me a call to advise me that the pair I ordered came up small. We changed the size based upon this - they arrived on time and were the cheapest on the net !! Great service and attention to detail - would use again, for sure....

“premium service for a budget price!”
Visit www.veloecosse.comI never write reviews but thought the service at Velo warranted a mention. Took my bike in for a pre-race service. Customer service was great, bike was done in no time and the actual work was great. The bike Indexes like butter better even than it did when I first got it and much better than far more expensive services I've had from thier competitors. I'll be taking my bike here from now on!...

“Great online service”
Visit www.veloecosse.comOn finding Velo Ecosse on a google search for my wheels I was wary due to the cheap price the store were offering which included delivery and free Conti tyres and tubes. I googled the store and found reviews of what a good service others had received. I ordered my wheels on Wednesday evening and I received a call from the store twenty minutes after the store opened on Thursday morning to confirm my order. I was told my goods would be despatched that day and should arrive on Friday. I was also told...

Visit www.veloecosse.comI live locally so I visit the shop when I can. These guys know (and race) bikes.

“Excellent price and service and super fast delivery!!”
Visit www.veloecosse.comI went into Evans yesterday to order these shoes, when I returned to work after lunch, I looked on the web for reviews which were all good, however Velo Ecosse came up being a lot cheaper... I asked Evens to price match which they wouldn't, so I cancelled my order and placed the order with VE and I had the shoes in my hand before 10am the next morning :) Excellent price, service and deliver!!! I will shop again and recommend......

“Great prices, fast delivery”
Visit www.veloecosse.comVelo Ecosse was recommended by a poster on the CycleChat forum who had experienced great service from the shop. I checked out the website and found the price of the Topeak multi tool was better than any I'd seen on Amazon or elsewhere. All of the tools I looked at on the site had a message saying 'availability - please call' so I sent an enquiry email and received a reply within three minutes (!) in which Owen said the item would be back in stock in the next couple of days. I ordered the tool on...

“Velo Ecosse - How a bike shop should be!”
Visit www.veloecosse.comI have now purchased from Velo Ecosse several times, both online and in the shop. Everytime I have had great service from knowledgable staff and prices are about as good as you can find. Advice is freely given and alternative products suggested with no pressure to buy, salesman, type tactic you get in a lot of other shops. You get the impression the staff are actually there to help you and not just empty your wallet. I recently bought a high end Tacx Turbo-trainer from them, cheaper than anywhere...

“Long live local bike shops & Velo Ecosse in particular”
Visit www.veloecosse.comI have used Velo Ecosse over the last 24 months to purchase a variety of kit, acesories and supplies, including a new road bike (Pinarello FP2), new helmets for myself and family, Assos kit, nutrition supplies, lights, locks etc. So what can I say about Velo Ecosse? Well the prices are competitive and sometimes lower than the the web, and certainly much lower than some of the local competition. Who wouldn't want to see, touch and try an new bike before purchasing it, especially when so much advice...

I've shopped here for several years purchasing items from Assos, Giant, Continental, Tacx and Shimano. I'm lucky to be able to shop in store and their prices are cheaper than anywhere online!

“Excellant Service and Products”
Visit www.veloecosse.comI chose Velo Ecosse having undertaken cost checks on the internet for the products I wanted. Part of the order was in stock and after a number of e-mails keeping me up to date with progress, the first part of the order was delivered earlier than expected. For the balance of the order, VE were repeatedly let down by the suppliers of the Light and Motion lamps I had ordered. Over the course of several weeks whilst VE were being frustrated with broken promises from the supplier, I was kept fully informed...

Visit www.veloecosse.comMy overall experience of the shop was very good. The staff which dealt with me came across as very knowledgeable and always happy to go to long measures to help you out without getting overly in your face or pushy. The bike arrived earlier than they said it would and I haven't had any problems with it whatsoever - in fact it's been perfect. I am very happy with the service and quality of the goods from velo ecosse - something I feel has been lacking in some other Edinburgh bicycle shops from my...
