“Very good service !!!”
Written on: 23/05/2013 by harryoval
No problems in using the Hargroves website to find and purchase the saddle stem collar I wanted. Good communication by email on the progress of my order. Product arrived within 24 hours of despatch by 1st class post. Collar fitted the stem without problems and looked more robust than the Specialized original. (read more)

“Boy What A Great Service”

I placed my Order Two Days Ago. Had A Knock at the Door this afternoon from the Post Man. The Delivery Service Was Great. ( Just a Shame other company's can't do the same ) Parcel wasn't pack all that well, but items inside didn't collect any damage ( Knowing how the post office treat parcels ) Both Me and My Partner have Used Hargrovescycles.co.uk before and will carry on doing so in the future. Well Done 120% service From a Very Happy Customer ( You May not be the cheapest ) But... (read more)

“Cube nightmare”
Written on: 29/03/2013 by CamboNeon (1 review written)
I am an outdoor instructor a qualified mountain bike leader and a part time mechanic for a leading bike store. I regularly lead rides with young children and adults through a variety of terrain but normally along light single tracks and firebreaks. As such a heavy FS bike is unacceptable and unsuitable. I decided to purchase a mid range hard tail for simply leading groups. In late october 2012 I chose the 2013 cube aim disc as I was advertised with good componentry for the price. More than...

I ordered a Ridgeback Melody bike for my 5 year old daughter last week. Hargroves cycles were one of the cheapest that I could find on the net for this product. Having placed my order online I was kept informed of despatch and delivery dates from the word go. The bike was delivered promptly by TNT. The bike arrived in perfect condition except for a broken plastic crank cap, which was probably broken when the bike left the factory. I rang Hargroves to complain about this small discrepancy and...

Written on: 11/03/2013
Disappointingly I had to return the shock to get the damping sorted, totally stripped down and returned to the other end of the country in a week along with sourcing a replacement freehub assembly and supplying it in the same timeframe. Unfortunately not a warranty part after 4 months, but instructions on how to fit were given. Good communication. Cheers Kenny (read more)

“Got it WRONG TWICE!”
Written on: 01/02/2013 by lazza20
I initially ordered a rear mech from Hargroves and was sent the wrong product, I immediately called them to inform them of the mistake. I was advised to fit it anyway as it may be compatible, it wasn't so I returned it. They were unable to supply the correct item so refunded my money and gave me a £10 voucher, which was actually worth £7.50 as I had to pay for posting the mech back. Anyway, I got on the site and ordered some Altura gloves. Imagine my shock and surpize to discover they have... (read more)

LOVE IT!! Wanted a minimum fuss mountain bike that was single speed -low maintainable, but by a quality brand. Like a BMW for people who are too old for one ;-P (Not as easy to find as you might think, ). The Specialized P FIX-ER fitted the bill perfectly. To start with it seemed the hub wasn't able to convert to the freewheel option, (I thought ugg!) but Barry came to the party and sorted it!! Thanks BAZ!

I ordered some tires late on a Tuesday night and had them by Thursday afternoon. Well packed so arrived in perfect condition, no mistakes in order, etc. Website a little clunky and search doesn't always work first time (try search for "specialized armadillo"), but it's a quick and easy ordering procedure, good prices and good range of equipment. But mainly I'm impressed by the speed of delivery. (read more)

Hargrovescycles's Response to lazza20's Review
Written on: 04/02/2013
Dear Customer,
Sorry to hear about your bad experience, as you can see from the rest of our excellent reviews this is a rare slip for us.
The rear mech we sent you was only ever sent out because we had it on good authority from Shimano themselves that it would work. We are still surprised it wouldnt - the last thing we want to do is cause problems as these always generate returns.
With regards to the gloves - this is a genuine error and we are not in the business of trying to "offload" as you put it - old stock in a sneaky way. Quite simply we are too busy to try and hatch up this sort of thing and old stock is cleared in our sales at the end of the season.
