Recommended Balfes Bikes

Recommended Posts

I just have to post a recommendation for the wonderful team at Balfes Bikes. My beloved bike that I had since 2005 and rode everywhere, was nicked a couple of weeks ago, and I first called the original place I bought my bike to see if i could buy another one. The guy who answered basically, laughed when I explained what had happened and said it was a joke thinking I could get a bike this year as everywhere was sold out. I then phoned Balfes who i've been to for servicing my old bike over the years, and got the best service I could have wished for. They were understanding,very patient with me (after trying a few bikes!)and I spoke to 3 different guys on my visits there, all were brilliant , and ordered in what I chose which came within the week. So a shout out to a great local asset!

I have taken my vintage 40-year old Di Blasi folding bike to Balfe's Bikes Dulwich on 2 occasions (punctured tyre and gear problems) and another bike that needed the the gear change wire replaced. On all occasions, the Balfe's guys were very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable - and managed to fix the problems. Definitely recommend them!

    • Is Dell Autos closing down completely or just moving? For whatever it's worth, for MOTs I've had good recent experience with The Test Centre in Deptford. They only do MOTs so they don't have any particular incentive to fail you and they usually have same day appointments. Open 7 days a week and late. https://www.thetestcentre.co.uk/our-test-centres/deptford-branch/ Obviously you would still need a "normal" garage to do servicing and repairs etc.
    • So what is the issue? You want compensation for the loss of value, or you want to expedite the matter?
    • No. What happened? I actually thought, considering it was what we used to call Guy Fawkes Day last night, the loud noises from  fireworks ended remarkably early. About 9pm? Maybe I just fell asleep and didn't hear any later ones. Do people actually burn Guys any more? Apart from at places like Lewes, where I believe they still have Bonfire Societies and burn effigies of various political figures etc.
    • The accompaniment to our "Christmas Pudding" aka Nothing-Whatever-Like-A- Christmas-Pudding last year  at The Cherry Tree was "brandy butter ice-cream." If it had ever been near any brandy, the brandy must have been waved in its direction from a very great distance. Same with butter. The ice cream tasted like bog standard "vanilla" from a catering tub. At least it did bear some resemblance to ice cream. Whereas the "Christmas Pudding" bore no resemblance whatever to any Christmas Pudding I have ever seen or tasted in my many  decades of seeing and tasting Christmas Puddings. Oh, and Cinzano Bianco. Bleurgh. My sister used to drink that. 🤢
