Used bike buying check

Buying a second-hand bike? Get it checked before you commit

If you are looking at a used bike in South West London, Bike Clinique can inspect it at the SW17 workshop before you buy. Freddie checks the safety-critical areas first: brakes, gears, wheels, tyres, drivetrain, bearings and visible frame or fork concerns.

The free safety check is not a valuation or hidden-damage certificate. It is a practical workshop check to flag obvious repair risk, urgent safety issues and likely next steps before you spend money on the bike.

  • Useful for commuter bikes, road bikes, gravel bikes and mountain bikes bought privately or online.
  • Clear workshop advice before paid repair work starts.
  • For deeper condition reports, carbon concerns or detailed diagnosis, ask for a paid workshop assessment.
