Many thanks for the kind comments. Happy cycling!

Hello all,
Unfortunately Liverpool Bike Repairs will be closing up. With family commitments, now seems to be the right time to find a proper job!

I will be honouring the bookings I have taken, but will not be taking any new bookings from now on.

After many years working in windowless factories, fixing bikes in all seasons and a shed has been a joy. The bicycle is an amazing contraption. I love the idea that it wouldn't take much for a cyclist from 1895 to get going on a bike made in 2025.

Many thanks to those of you who let me work on your contraptions.

Ride safe

Due to family commitments we will be closed until 16th April. Our next bookings for servicing/repairs are in early May at the time of posting this message.
I'll still be able to reply to enquiries but it may take a little longer to get back to you.
Stay safe!

Batavus Wayz Ego Active E-bike for sale. £1100 ono.

I'm posting this for a customer. Due to illness, she is unfortunately having to give up cycling. As this is a private sale, I am not able to provide any warranty for this bike, but I can say that the seller is genuine and that this is a quality bike that is in all round great condition. Cosmetically there are a couple of scuffs on the rear rack, that's all.

This Batavus (a Dutch cycle maker) is a 2019 model and is typically solid with good quality components:

48 cm step through frame with alloy wheel rims.
Batavus front forks and sprung saddle.
Schwalbe Energizer Plus puncture resistant tyres.
Shimano 7 speed hub gears.
Magure hydraulic rim brakes.

Bosch mid line 40nm motor.
Bosch 400 watt/hour battery and charger.
4 pedal assist modes - Eco, Tour, Sport, Turbo plus Walk assist.

Axa integrated wheel lock with keys and Axa chain that can attach to the lock.

Integral front and rear lights.
Side stand.
Front basket with a rear rack.

Now sold.
For sale:
Voodoo Lofa Fixie £65.
Fully serviced, just the odd age related mark, but still very presentable.
Medium sized frame.
Flip flop rear wheel for single speed coaster or the full fixie.
Front and rear dual caliper brakes.
Narrow handlebars - perfect for town riding and easier storage.
There's not a lot else I can say, bikes don't vote much simpler than this!

Now sold. Vintage Triumph ladies bike sale, £50.

In original, unrestored condition. Everything works as should and it rides nicely. The three speed Sturmey Archer gears shift smoothly and the dynamo lamps work in the same low power glow they probably always had.

However there's no spare time for me to service it (I've had it hung up in the shed since 2017 waiting for a chance!) so it's being sold as parts/not working.

My guess is it dates from around 1975 and it looks to be 100% original. Perhaps the inner tubes have been replaced at some point, but that's all. Personally I'd leave the cosmetics as they are and enjoy it for what it is. Just a quick rub over with some polish to protect its character.

Hello
Unfortunately I will only be contactable via email ([email protected]) or here on Facebook for the next few days as my phone has been water damaged.
Cheers,

A happy new year to you all. My cycling resolution for 2022 is to get Little Monster speeding around on her balance bike.
Best wishes whether your ambitions are grand or modest.

Who would have thought that a funny little contraption from the 1800s would be so popular in 2020? In this strangest of years perhaps nothing is surprising - especially a photo of an old bike with Christmas lights and ribbon on it.

It's been a pleasure to be able to help so many of you with your bikes this year, I only wish I'd had the time to help more of you.

We wish you a safe, happy Christmas and a healthy 2021 whatever your mode of transport.
