UK delivery

If your item is in stock and ordered before 12pm, we will do our best to despatch your order the day you place it. In busy times we tell you how long it will take us to process it.

The above does not apply to bikes, which we have to assemble and inspect before repacking for dispatch. Typically we try to have bike orders dispatched within 3-5 days, but in busier times it may take longer. In those cases we'll let you know of longer than expected delivery times.

Please bear in mind that we are closed on Wednesdays, so no items will be dispatched then.

Free postage over £40

For small items we use Royal Mail's 48 service which has a delivery time of typically 2-3 days from dispatch; though you do have the option to upgrade to 24 which is generally next-day from dispatch if you require your order sooner. Please note in some cases the item will need to be signed for, so please provide an address where someone will be in.

Orders of over £40 will qualify for free standard postage with Royal Mail 48. This may exclude certain bulky or awkward items which will be calculated automatically at the basket screen.

Bike shipping

When we send out a larger parcel such as a bike or trailer we use a next-day courier - usually either DPD or Parcelforce.

For these reasons please supply us with a delivery address where there will be someone in to sign for your parcel. If there is nobody in when the couriers call, they will leave a card. You can then phone them to arrange delivery for another day or collect your goods from your local depot (a photo ID with proof of address will be required).

How will my bike be delivered?

We fully assemble, safety check and inspect every bike as though you were going to ride it away from our showroom.

However, to get it back into a box suitable for a courier to handle, we have to remove the pedals, handlebar and usually the front wheel - so some minor reassembly is required when the bike is delivered to you.

Please bear in mind that you might need a 15mm spanner for the pedals (adult's bikes generally do not come with pedals included, so you may not need to worry about this), and 4mm, 5mm and 6mm allen/hex keys for the reassembly.

Outside the UK

Since Brexit it is no longer feasible for our website to have permanent shipping prices for international delivery. Instead, if there is an item you are interested in, please Contact Us with a full delivery address and we will quote for delivery.

All the prices on our website and catalogue are in pounds sterling and are inclusive of VAT, but VAT will be removed for international orders. Please bear in mind that you will likely have to pay your country's taxes, import duties and associated courier handling fees for any items.

Cycle to Work

×

The Cycle to Work scheme is a government scheme designed to provide a more affordable way for you to purchase a new bike & equipment for cycling to work.

Depending on your tax bracket and the scheme provider used, you can save 25%-47% on the price of a new bike and accessories as well as spreading the cost over a period of 6-48 months without paying any interest.

The bike purchased on the scheme can be any kind of bike - hybrid bike, road bike, mountain bike, electric bike, cargo bike - as long as the primary user of the bike is the person who took out the scheme. So... no children's bikes, sorry.

It sounds too good to be true, but rest assured it really is that much of a no-brainer.

Young cyclists aspiring to be the next Bradley Wiggins can take the first route to a career as a professional road cyclist with the Vicini Katana.

Young cyclists aspiring to be the next Bradley Wiggins can take the first route to a career as a professional road cyclist with the Vicini Katana.

The Katana is one the most advanced road bikes on the market for youngsters, and exudes the style and exquisite craftsmanship synonymous with Italian bicycle manufacturers.

It has been brought to the UK by leading bike retailer Cyclesense.

Vicini has a rich racing heritage in Italy, and was originally launched in 1942 by Mario Vicini who finished second in the Tour De France in 1937.

Since then the brand has continued to break new grounds in the development of road bikes and has been the official supplier to the Italian Cycling Federation’s junior team for over 25 years.

The Vicini Katana offers a great introduction to the world of road cycling for junior riders by replicating the real race geometry and performance of an adult racing bike.

The Katana is available in four models (500, 550, 600 and 650) with 20” to 26” wheels to accommodate young developing riders. On each bike, the frame is carefully proportioned to allow comfortable reach to the handlebars whilst the gear ratios have been carefully selected to suit the age of the child.

The handlebars are specially made so that children’s smaller hands can safely and comfortably operate the brakes and shifters whilst its ultra-light alloy frame and carbon forks give the Katana a great racing pedigree.

The Katana is available in two standard complete bike configurations with the 500 featuring Shimano Sora derailleurs and Miche Downtube Shifters as well as quick release wheels so parents can repair punctures quickly without having to carry the necessary tools with them.
 
The rest of the range features Campagnolo 16 speed components including Mirage derailleurs and Xenon Ergopower shifters.

All bikes in the range are fitted with Miche Performance dual-pivot brakes and Miche chainset.
 
With an entry price of £399 for the 500, the Vicini Katana is a great value road bike for parents who are looking to introduce their children youngsters to road cycling with a sleek looking bike that delivers optimum performance.

For more information about the Vicini Katana, please visit our webstore, Tadcaster of Thorp Arch Showroom or call 01937 844068.
