Please read full description prior to purchase
These ex-hire bikes are located at Kielder Forest. They are shipped just like any other bike – all bikes are fully checked and cleaned, and in some cases, you may need to attach the handlebars and pedals upon delivery. All drivetrain parts are checked for wear, and you will be made aware of any parts that we advise replacing prior to purchase. Should you wish to replace these parts at an additional cost, this can be done at a generously discounted rate.
More info on the cosmetic condition of our Ex-Hire Fleet:
As ex-hire bikes, all bikes will show visible signs of use. This can include (but is not limited to) paint chips, scratches, scuffs, cable rub, heel rub, tyre wear, and marks to decals, wheels or components. These cosmetic marks are purely aesthetic and do not affect the safety or performance of the bike and are reflected in the sale price.
The images shown feature one of our ex-hire bikes currently for sale and are provided as a representative example. Please note that individual bikes may show varying degrees of wear and tear from use, and the bike supplied may not be the exact bike shown in the images. All bikes are fully functional. If you’d like specific images of the exact bike you’re interested in, we strongly recommend contacting our Kielder team prior to purchase. By completing a purchase without requesting additional images, you acknowledge and accept the cosmetic condition of the bike.
As these are ex-hire models, they may be subject to different returns and warranty conditions compared with new bikes. All ex-hire bikes are soldas seen and as described, and cosmetic wear consistent with hire use is not considered a fault. Returns will not be accepted on the basis of cosmetic condition, including dissatisfaction with scratches, paint wear or other signs of use that are consistent with an ex-hire bike.
