Shopped with Merlin for years now (pretty much since cycle businesses went online). Always have good prices and reasonable choices (and often good deals on alternatives I might not have considered)... See more

This company is great
This company is great. I would not hesitate to recommend them. Their prices are really good and their service is fantastic. I had an issue with a faulty helmet which was kindly resolved by their returns department without any fuss. 5*
Rapid delivery of the right part
Got the exact part i needed. Genuine part delivered rapidly, well packaged.
Excellent Cycle store
Great communication, good range of accessories at a decent price. Despatched very promptly, well and securely packaged.
Free shipping using Royal Mail is a bonus for those of us in rural areas where other couriers are far less reliable and who, unlike the posties, too often leave deliveries out on your doorstep in all weathers and other security issues.
Can thoroughly recommend Merlin Cycles.
New bike day
Although buying a stock bike and nothing customised, the service I received was superb. All questions were always answered promptly and in person, delivery was quick and the bike well packaged. Price was the cheapest out there.
Dependable and competitive.
If Merlin have the stock that are always reliable and keenly priced. Recommended.
always good service
Excellent retailer
Merlin keep a good range of quality products at sensible prices and dispatch them in a timely manner. I regularly used them and have never had an issue.
Issues resolved promptly
The only reason I haven't given 5 stars is that I initially received the incorrect items.
Once they were in transit back to Merlin Cycles (at no cost to me, other than driving to a drop off point), my correct parts were sent.
Customer service was profesional and resolved the problem promptly. Parts were well priced and held in stock.
Would definitely buy from them again.
fast delivery
Road Cycling Shoes
I purchased some SIDI shoes through Merlin Cycles.
They were prompt and met my expectations. I will purchase gear through them again.
Good products
I regularly shop at Merlin. They always have good products and good prices. However, if the price drops after your purchase, even on the same day, they don't adjust the price.
Good range of competitively priced products with a loyalty scheme to get more discounts.
Used Merlin after Tredz failed to send the full product I had ordered twice. Merlin had the product I wanted in stock. Purchase was easy and item was despatched quickly. The loyalty scheme is also a good touch. I will definitely buy from Merlin again, and will probably buy my next bike from them when it comes time for a new one.
Excellent service price and delivery…
Excellent service price and delivery can’t say enough
