"Just wanted to thank you for doing a really good job with my bike yesterday. I could really tell the difference when I cycled it home, it feels so much smoother and easier to ride and my new knowledge of the gear workings is a big help!!"

"Thanks for your help and advice on Thursday. Really useful as always. If only every £20 I spend was as good value!"

"I've been meaning to thank you for sorting the bike. Mmmm, fresh gears, I forgot how good it felt. And working on it with you was good fun."

"Jake is a genuine individual who wants to help you spend as little as possible on repairs of your bike [ed: no wonder I'm not making any money!!! - jake], helps you to undertake basic repair yourself, engages with you on a personal level and is most importantly the most switched on bike mechanic ever. I met Jake after knocking the quick release on my rear wheel causing a lot of damage when the wheel came off and the bike hit the deck. Thinking it would cost a bomb i contemplated buying a new bike until Jake quoted me a... READ MORE

"Jake's Bikes is an amazing store, the best bicycle shop I have ever been in by a long way. I recommend anyone who wants a bike to see what Jake's Bikes has to offer. The staff are friendly, honest and open. I felt I could talk about what I wanted without a barrage of sales pitches. Discussion with Jake allowed me to narrow down how to acquire what I was after: A fast, reliable, second-hand tourer, within a budget of £500. Basically I wanted a bike for life; a long term investment that would keep on repaying me every time... READ MORE

"I'm getting way less pain in the shoulders and neck, the handlebars you fitted are great... The seat is also bonzer and has almost completely put a stop to Dead Rear Syndrome. In all, I think you have done a *great* job and I wanted to say thank you. I know that if you hadn't modified the bike for me, I would never have been able to ride it again."

"When Jake and I started off discussing what I needed for my ideal bike, I wanted a high-quality but tatty usable bike, with all the best bits from Danish designs for everyday transport, and the gears and brakes from the mountain-bike world. Little did I expect that Jake would find me a second hand but unused frame with perfect geometry for me (long legs and chronic neck pain). Jake haggled the price down for me and began to build my perfect bike. After finding such a beautiful frame, it seemed churlish to have tatty mudguards and wheels, so Jake built... READ MORE

"My bike was almost unrideable before Jake (and his magic cycle fingers) came along. Thanks for fixing it up for me, and at a very reasonable price. I would highly recommend you to anyone"

"My second-hand bike was sourced and adapted by Jake to suit my cycling style and needs in Bristol, and it's been great ever since I got it a year and a half ago. He adapted the gears so that even I can get up the hills of Bristol and added the vital basket and bell that I really wanted. Jake still provides all the routine maintenance on my bike and has been great."
