We care about your bike as much as you do

At Back Alley Bikes we aim to get you just what you need with minimal fuss. We don't try and sell you things you don't need, we don't have quotas to hit, we spend a lot of time riding the bikes and tracks you do, so we intimately know what will and won't work. 

Our workshop is the beating heart of Back Alley Bikes. The focus is to build and fix bikes correctly and efficiently through experience and knowledge gained after many years in the industry. being avid bikers we get out there a lot ourselves which means we understand your problems at a personnel level.

Beyond the workshop we also sell and build up bikes for you. 

We work with a large range of frame and bike builders from across the world, and are the Canterbury dealers for Yeti and Pivot, brands synonymous with pushing the boundaries of design and quality (two things we quite like). 

For us it started with the sheer fascination of mastering the process required to build a wheel specific to a certain need. The amount of variables and processes involved in building a reliable wheel is something we’ve worked hard at so that we can confidently provide a service we are proud of.
