Hi thanks for checking out Magic Bike Mike, we are a web based company in the South of England. Mike (MBM) the bike builder and all round top guy (mike is writing this), and a few people in the back ground helping to keep things running smooth and thinking up the next idea, we also have close links with a few bike mechanics with many many years of experience, handy when doing old school builds. We try and keep all are helpers close by, so the
companies that do our powdercoating, print sticker, cnc parts and
spray paint are all within few miles of our base. we also try and recycle where
we can, if you ride/buy/sell bikes you are already helping the environment, but
everything helps.
Mike has been into bikes for many years and comes from a cross country
mountain bike background, this is where he first got into single speed, just
loving the simplicity of it, he has to say thanks to a guy from Mud Dock who
let him have a spin on his single speed Santa Cruz Chameleon, this changed how
he looked at bikes forever.
Mike did some racing but soon found his body was trashed from it, and
for a while drifted away from bikes, but he couldn’t resist them, knowing he wasn’t
the strongest cyclist anymore he went back to mucking around with bikes again,
after spending time in Bristol and London he knew what he wanted to do, and
this is how we got here……
So here we are a workshop full of bikes ready
for you good people to customise how you want, we ain’t the fastest company at
building as we want to get it right, but we do get great feedback back from our
customers and very little warranty issues, and if something does go wrong,
we get it sorted. Poor warranty service is not on or acceptable, we don’t like
it so why should you.
Which brings us nicely to the T&Cs
Always email info@magicbikemike.co.uk
first as this is our main point of contact.
RETURNS
Any Problems with
your purchase within the first 30 days and we will refund your item minus any
postage costs, if item has been sold with free delivery we will deduct the
exact cost to us as shown on delivery receipt.
To honour the 30
day return item must not be used and in its original packaging, if we have made a
fully customised bike for you and you wish to return due to not liking and we
have made as you have asked we will not issue a full refund, but come to a
happy medium, the bikes can take many hours to sort so we have to cover our
time. Please be aware if you have had handlebars, tyres, saddles etc changed
this would not be classed as a fully customised bike, if we have had to
powdercoat, spray paint or make one off personalised stickers, then this is
where we would be looking at a discounted refund, unless we feel we could sell
bike on easily, then we will issue a full refund again minus any postage costs.
We have had no issues yet but I guess we better cover all bases.
If we have sent the
wrong item or its been damaged in delivery please inform us straight away, and
we will sort ASAP, we will of course sort postage costs if it’s our error, if
postage company has clearly broken item (we would not send out a smashed up box
or envelope) then check before they leave and either refuse or make sure to
note damage as we cannot make a claim if you sign for a damaged box and it’s
not been marked down.
Return address is 1
HANOVER CLOSE, EXETER, EX1 2SX
SHIPPING AND POSTAGE
We use DHL for our bikes and larger items, for smaller items either 2nd class recorded or Myhermes, if
your item does not turn up all the companies we use have tracking so we can
search out your product, most will still say 7 to 14 days before they can help
us, or pay for a claim of a lost item, luckily using secure postage we very
very rarely have issues.
Most bikes we charge
£9.99 anywhere in the Uk, anywhere else please email info@magicbikemike.co.uk as we
currently only sell in the UK, but on occasions we have sent bikes overseas.

out individually as weights can vary massively on bike parts so check the item listing
