DURHAM BIKE REPAIRS
Located in Durham City, UK

-
My aim is to take the hassle out of bike maintenance so you can enjoy cycling.​
-
I am a fully trained bike mechanic.​
-
My interests are in keeping bikes in tip-top working order, not in selling bikes or parts.​
-
My preference is "mid-range bikes". There are probably better places for "high-end bikes"!
-
Apologies but I do not do the electrical side of eBikes.
