SHIPPING
We aim to process and dispatch all orders (including complete bicycles) within 1-2 working days subject to availability. Not applicable to bespoke bicycle orders.
For custom bespoke bicycle orders, our trained mechanics will build your Aphelion to your requirements from our London based warehouse. Before dispatching your new bicycle, our mechanics will make final checks ensuring that all parts on your Aphelion are fully functioning which would involve checking the tyre pressure, alignment of brakes, chain tension, stem position and so on.
Depending on the size of the item(s), all orders will be dispatched using Royal Mail or UPS. Dispatch confirmation will be sent to your email along with any tracking numbers if applicable.
Free shipping on bicycles is only available for UK customers.
