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.

Click & Collect

We've all got busy lives, and sometimes it's easier just to browse online at home rather than having to come out to our shop. Our click & collect service is free and easy to use - simply:

  1. Browse the site and add the items you'd like to collect to your basket.
  2. Head to the checkout and select Collect in Store as your delivery region under the Delivery Region/Country header.
  3. Proceed through the online checkout and pay for your items as usual.
  4. We'll be in touch as soon as your order is ready to collect! In cases where an item is out of stock or might take a while to arrive we'll let you know. Payment is not actually processed against your card until we've accepted the order.
  5. Come to the store and collect your items whenever is convenient. Please bring valid photo ID just in case!

The new Shimano 105 (5700) group is now already available in Koga Signature, the custom order program by Koga...

The new SHIMANO 105 features many of the technological improvements of the new DURA-ACE and ULTEGRA components, at a very attractive price thanks to the use of more economical materials and solutions. No titanium sprockets, carbon brake levers or HOLLOWGLIDE outer chain ring for example.





Let's face it, SHIMANO 105 does not have the state-of-the-art image of DURA-ACE, but if you are interested in the best price/performance ratio this might be the perfect component group for you. For the average sporty rider the differences will be hard to notice. What you do get is a very reliable, durable and excellent performing component group with an attractive design – in a silver version – at an affordable price.










Dual Control Levers


SHIMANO 105 Dual Control Levers ST-5700 (for Compact cranksets) and ST-5703 (for Triple cranksets) feature cable routing underneath the handlebar tape, just like the new DURA-ACE and ULTEGRA. They have been developed with a reach adjustment mechanism that will accommodate smaller hands and a wide assortment of bar bends. The brake lever pivot is located closer to the rider for an improved controllability, especially when riding with the hands on top of the hoods.





Cranksets (Compact & Triple)


The HOLLOWTECH II crankset combines an attractive aerodynamic design with superb rigidity. Available in two versions: Compact (FC-5750: 50-34T) and Triple (FC-5703: 50-39-30T).





Derailleurs


Rear derailleur RD-5700 will be available in two versions: SS (with a short cage) and GS (with a medium cage). The short cage version has a wide gear ratio with a maximum front difference of 16T and a total capacity of 33T. This means that it is compatible with SHIMANO compact cranksets (50-34T) and cassette sprockets of maximum 28T. The GS version is needed when using a Triple crankset.


Shimano offers also two front derailleur options: FD-5700 for Compact cranksets and FD-5703 for Triple cranksets. They feature a wide inner link for extra rigidity and an improved chain guide design. The new front derailleurs provide a feather light down shift and smoother shifting stroke.





Brakes


The Dual-Pivot caliper brakes feature new compound brake shoes that offer a much improved brake performance, especially in wet conditions. The calipers have been developed with an enhanced brake arch proportion for an increased linear response. The brakes feature a spring tension adjuster and adjustable toe-in brake shoes.





Cassettes/Chain/Hubs/Pedals


The new SHIMANO 105 HYPERGLIDE 10-speed cassette will be available in 12-25T. The new chain has a directional design (one way mounting) with special shaped links to further improve shifting performance. The group also includes hubs and SPD-SL pedals in a matching color.





New SHIMANO 105 offers the ultimate combination of performance, durability, design and price for the no nonsense sporty road racer who wants to improve his performance and have fun at the same time.
