A big thank you to James and the team at Bike Gallery for building my new Focus Izalco Max 9.7 in less than a week. My old Trek Madone was ridden off 4 weeks ago and I've been in the market for a replacement. It was extremely frustrating and disappointing visiting many bike stores across Melbourne during a period when bikes were scarce. I visited Bike Gallery after a recommendation from friend who had his Dario Pegoretti frame set built by them. I mentioned to Jame's that I was after Shimano Ultegra Di2 group set with disk brakes and carbon wheels set within a moderate budget. James mentioned the quality of SRAM ETap and presented an off the shelf standard Izalco Max 9.7 however the blue/grey was not my taste. He went the extra mile and allowed me to ride his custom build Focus Max with SRAM Force ETap AXS to put my concerns at rest, it worked and I was converted. He was very helpful in sourcing a black 50cm frame and his team went to the extra effort of switching the group set to the more affordable SRAM Force ETap AXS and Pirelli PZero Velo 28mm tyres that made the Swiss DT Arc 1450 wheels making the bike look sleek, fast and most importantly add compliance for a smooth yet responsive ride. James spent considerable time during my bike fit out and this proved dividends as my first and second ride were divine, no adjustments needed, looking forward to my next ride. Love the way the bike handles corners and keeps speed on flats, just need to work on my core to get the best out of the bike when climbing! Thanks again team Bike Gallery, your customer service and attention to detail was impeccable.

  • Michael Lim

These guys are professional and simply awesome at doing what they do which is great customer service and the terrific technical know-how. I bought my Dogma F8 from them and recently took it in for a full service and these guys performed all works on time, on budget and most importantly on quality. They even problem solved and fixed the problem that's been bugging me for a long time free of charge! This is obviously the result of an enthusiastic team who are happy to go to the extra mile and still stand by the product they sold me years ago. This type of ethical business practice is extremely rare in businesses these days and others should really learn a thing or two from this team. Thank you James + Team for the terrific service. My next upgrade and future servicing will be back with you. I'll be recommending this business to my friends and family.

  • Fraser Wilkinson

I don't know what they put in the coffee down there but Lincoln, Cam & James went over the top in getting my bike ordered, built & sorted. I bought what I thought was the latest model only to be rung by Lincoln two weeks later informing me of a just-released model and would I like to change? Sure would! He happily took my now older model back into stock - amazing service. They set my bike up perfectly. I've only adjusted the seat 2mm in the 9 months I've had it. I know how hard it is in the bike trade and these guys offer a level of knowledge, experience and service second to none. Even if you don't need anything it's worth the trip just to see how a professional shop runs. I bet you don't walk away empty handed!

  • Dilshan Pathirana

Extremely helpful and friendly staff.I went here to buy a new tube for my bicycle which had a puncture.This was my first time fixing a tire puncture, when I was pumping air in to the tire it burst.Next day I went two store with my wheel and said my story and asked them if I buy a tube will they fix it for me.They fixed the tube to the tire for free and also did not charge for the tube . And they also educated me what might have gone wrong when i was fixng the tube and also gave me some cycling tips too.They seems to have a good knowledge on the domain of cyclicng.And seems like they have a wide range of products that have not seen in other cyclic shops (such as food,drinks).

  • Japan Mike

This place deserves continued brisk business and local support! These guys are truly invested in the love of cycling and offer a hand up to newbies or seasoned bikers. I would highly recommend their expertise, professionalism, friendliness and service. They also offer a superb range of bike products that reflect cutting edge design and bike technology as well as high powered lumen safety lights. Great shop and great staff, and a big shout out for helping me late Friday arvo as a distressed walk in (my gears were a mess which they fixed on the spot). I was on my way to great stress free weekend of biking thanks to the guys in Bike Gallery

  • pmeriggi

No task big or small, prompt service with a smile. I was left very happy with the quick and kind service I received. I normally do a good job in fine tuning my gears but for the life of me this time it was not happening. I called the Bike Gallery at 11am asking if they could give me a hand and James very kindly suggested to bring it in for a quick fix. I rocked up at 11.30 and left the bike while I did some grocery shopping. By 11.50 it was ready for pick up noting the issue was a snapped cable inside the shifters. All sorted and ready for the road. James and the team were great. Thank you

  • Garry Jacobson

Premium bikes with staff members that deliver a premium service. Bike Gallery makes sure you feel welcome when you walk through the door and are happy to take the time to answer the silly questions that customers like myself have. Over 10 years thats where the value for money is in my opinion. If you need help, they have fast response times to any issues you have and more importantly they have good relationships with all their suppliers. Which means you’re always riding you bike and never having to wait for things to get done.

  • Sebastian Ślęzak

I have been to Bike Gallery a couple of times as my office is not far. One day, after I crashed on tram tracks nearby the shop, I dropped in to get them to have a look at my derailleur hanger. In no time, the shifting was working perfectly again, and I did not even have a chance to look at what magic their mechanic used as I popped into their change room. I was impressed by how professional they approach customers. I will come back to Bike Gallery if I need servicing, more clothing items or spares, and ultimately a new bike.

  • Joshua Tait

I organised for Bike Gallery to pack up my bike for shipping to my place in London. They were excellent to work with even from the other side of the world - living up to their reputation as the best bike shop in Melbourne. My dad who has no idea about bikes (but is still a legend) took the bike in to be prepared. They made his day with an exceptional (free) coffee and some good conversation. Not long later my bike arrived in London in showroom condition, which matters. Thanks to Cam and the team.

  • Luke Simcocks

I was absolutely blown away by the customer service I received from at BG today. After getting a screw in my tyre, these boys were luckily right around the corner and, within no time, replaced my rim tape, patched up my tyre, replaced the tube, made me a great coffee then charged me a more than reasonable price for all the work they did. As someone who doesn’t leave reviews often, I simply couldn’t let their generosity go unnoticed and it was much-appreciated lads.

  • Gregory Thorne

I have been involved in the bike industry for a number of years and can say with confidence that Bike Gallery are the golden standard of bike shops and encapsulate everything I love about cycling. For me BG were one of the first stores to encapsulate the effortless cool style, design focused high end retailer vibe that many stores try to replicate at home and internationally. A1

  • Rami Yousif

Flew this morning from Sydney to Melbourne to pick up this beauty. The team at BG are exceptionally experienced and friendly. They offered a cup of coffee and made sure I left their store with a big smile on my face. They went above and beyond to accommodate my order and ensured the bike was well packed before I left the store. Highly recommend these fellas. Thanks guys!

  • Anthony Garrubba

Was shopping around for quite some time looking at gravel bikes. I emailed a few bike shops but Bike Gallery was the only one that replied consistently and was really helpful. I've had a ripping experience, they helped me mix/match what i was looking for and landed with a Cervelo Aspero. I've been back in a few times since, they're a top crew, appreciate the help.

  • Γιώργος Σπυρόπουλος

Brilliant workmanship, but apart from that, the guys kept a clear line of communication, providing constant updates of where they were at with the upgrade that was being performed. You can't beat these guys for custom builds, they're on another level and I think I've found a new home for all servicings, repairs and new buys. Well done fellas! Happy riding.

  • Chris Lee

Finally had my dream bike built up with Bike Gallery and the service was exceptional and nothing has been a problem. Absolute legends to deal with and the quality of work is the best in Melbourne. I had a few missing parts we were waiting for to complete my build so the shop leant me various parts so I could get on the road.. absolute class. Thank you BG

  • Dean McCormack

After drunk-purchasing a road bike on eBay, about which I knew nothing, I visited Bike Gallery to get some clip shoes. The service guy had a look over my bike, fitted my tube, adjusted my seat and gave me some great tips; without charge. I can't wait for something to go wrong so I can head back. A very relaxed and welcoming environment has been created.

  • Bernard Cassell

I just visited Bike Gallery for advice on an issue with Pram Tyres. Not their area I know however they were incredibly helpful and managed to fix one of my two problems and gave great advice about how to deal with the other. If you can find better more friendly helpful staff than these guys I would be amazed. I can't recommend them highly enough.

  • Mark Patterson

Purchased a Specialized Tarmac SL7 from the team at Bike Gallery. Was a great experience from start to finish, Cam was very helpful, prompt with replies and knowledgeable. No pressure to go through with the purchase and got a fantastic deal after a year of searching.! Highly recommended if your in the market for a quality bike and top service.

  • Al Bentley

Have shopped here online and in store, both being extremely pleasant experiences! Most recently bought a new bike from the guys and love it! Allowed me to test ride the bike before purchasing and just all in all good people. Definitely would recommend and am glad I have found a bike shop I can go back to for years to come. Great stuff fellas

  • KolzManz KM

First time to Bike Gallery and I was after some new kicks. James served me and I have to say, such great customer service and a truly gentleman. Ended up buying the new kicks from them (mainly due to the great service and of course, the price ) Thank you again, James - would definitely be back for my next bicycle related purchase.

  • Peter McGuinness

I had flat tyres with my electric scooter. I walked in expecting to be turned away but the guys there welcomed me with a positive attitude even though I wasn''t a paying customer that day. They pumped up my tyres and sent me on my way. Great customer service and would recommend them to anyone in the Area that need bike advice or fix.

  • Shiran Olagama

Fantastic bike shop with a great range of apparel and bike maintenance supplies. The team at Bike Gallery, Hawthorn East are some of the best I've encountered, and have always gone the extra mile with their service. I've only ever had positive experiences here, and always look forward to going back. Keep up the good work guys!

  • Shaun Pratt

I got in touch with the guys at bike gallery on easter Saturday after my shoes broke on friday. They were extremely helpful in sorting me out with some rapha pro shoes & even contacted me after a couple of days to make sure the shoes were working for me & that i had no problems. Great bunch of guys & very friendly shop.

  • Bells de

This place is awesome! The service was next level, they knew exactly what I needed and went the extra length even though they didn't need to. Highly recommended! Although, they did not stock any women's apparel at the time I was there, in any case, I was only there for my road bike and they were super friendly.

  • Wayne D

Bike Gallery is exactly what a bike shop should be - a team of warm and welcoming experts more than willing to assist cyclists of any skill or experience level. Bike Gallery blurs the line between cafe and bike shop, and the experience is always a great one - the team also runs a shop ride for those interested.

  • Maurice Robson

This is a fantastic bike shop! Have bought 2 bikes, kit and accessories form Lincoln, Cameron and James over the last 12 years and also had the bikes serviced there! Here’s a special shout-out to Lee for terrific servicing and to the whole team for professionalism and service, and for being great human beings!

  • Kim Roberts

The best brands (think: Q36.5, Mosaic, Parlee, Cervelo etc.) fantastic coffee and a relaxed environment staffed by knowledgable people who are super friendly - what more can you ask for? They're always happy to take the time to answer questions, are open late and offer two different group rides every weekend.

  • Hannah NZL

What a bunch of legends. I popped in store with an issue on my rear derailleur on my S5 and the team said they’d take a look today, few hours later I get a call, all sorted. Great customer service, will be my new local bike shop for sure when I move to Melbourne in the coming months. Thanks BG team!

  • Tom Lambrecht

Excellent service and knowledge from the guys at Bike Gallery. These guys know their Cervélos like few others. James and his team helped me to identify and fix a safety issue with my headset that two different shops were unable to diagnose. Save your time and go straight to the best.

  • P B

Thank you to Cam, James and the team for incredible service, great products and the best coffee! Of course you can hunt the internet to save yourself $10 on a pair of cleats but when you get access to the best products in once place and can support local - don’t go anywhere else.

  • Ray Ding

Always found the staff at BG to be very friendly, professional and courteous in attending to my needs. I have known the guys there for a number of years and it’s always great to be recognised even when it’s over the phone and makes the whole interaction a more valued experience.

  • Angus Mac

These guys are doing a great job. As a 50 year old triathlete I feel that some bike shops can ageist and arrogant but this shop delivers a friendly customer focussed style where they want you as a customer long term. Great apparel range - high end price but value given quality.

  • nicky deev

Had a wonderful experience with the guys at Bike Gallery who helped me hunt down an urgently needed Cervelo part with super friendly service. They have experienced knowledge, and are super responsive over the phone although the shop is absolutely worth a visit in person too!

  • Ed Smith

Never been a better time to support small business and I can’t think of a better small business to support. Attentive, helpful and super knowledgeable with bucket loads of experience and quality service. Cannot recommend Cam, James and the gents down at Bike Gallery enough.

  • Chin Yen Goh

Cam and all the staff are very friendly, will try their best to answer all your questions and your online ordering despite they are busy. Order and pick up on the same day with no issue or bs what so ever. Will definitely come back support LBS such as this one! …

  • Josh L

Ordered a jersey from these guys and it was slightly late, I wasn’t worried, but because of the delay they threw in a set of socks to say thanks for waiting for the jersey. Top notch small business customer service. Will recommend and shop here again. Thanks guys.

  • Ian Haynes

Finding a missing Campag chain ring bolt was causing me grief, but staff rummaged through the random spares box & came up with the goods, plus insisted they not charge me for it. Only a very small item but very generous gesture & great customer service.

  • Thomas Juzwin

I've been a customer of 'BG' for many years and have never had anything short of a fantastic experience. Their range of quality kit/bikes, the exceptional service and great bunch rides make this a no-brainer for the next 'new bike day' or coffee roll!

  • D Mc

The staff at Bike Gallery were good to deal with. They were friendly and rang to let me know what was happening with the service of my bike. They are exactly what I was looking for. Well priced for the level of service and quality. I'll be going back.

  • David Shirley

Echoing the sentiments and rave reviews below. BG know their stuff, go above and beyond to assist and make the experience enjoyable. I can't say the same for other bike stores. Also great range in stock...keep up the quality service James and co.

  • Nick Brown

Thank you very much to Lincoln and the team at bike gallery. I recently visited the store for new wheels and a bike fit. What can I say…. There is no better bike store in the business. Keep up the great work. It’s bike gallery all day for me!!!

Great team at Bike Gallery who will look after you very well. Really nice people to have a chat with and all their products are first class. After sales support and service is excellent, very pleased I bought my bike from Bike Gallery.

  • Mark Heynes

Very happy with the service from the crew at BG. I was given good advice, had a frame and groupset secured much quicker than I thought was possible and the result is sensational. No hesitation in recommending their store. Thanks Cam.

  • Glenn Eastwood

Excellent rapid service by Leigh and the team at Bike Gallery. Dropped in late Friday afternoon for a 'alignment check' on my R Series Cervélo but a greater safety issue identified and solved on the spot. 100% recommend these guys.

  • Geoff Dale

I love the positive and friendly attitude at Bike Gallery. They have great technical knowledge and have been vey helpful guiding me when choosing a new bike that perfectly suits my needs. Plus, they know how to make a great coffee.

Such a beautiful store. Helped us out with a few issues we had with our bike, and even gave us an amazing coffee. Thanks so much! They also have the sweetest most well behaved dog. If you are in the area check them out!

  • Robyn P

Super helpful staff, very friendly and approachable. The store clearly deals with some pretty advanced riders, but as a total novice they made me feel completely at home and able to ask lots of questions.

  • Frank Papaleo

From finding a bike, buying a bike and servicing the bike, everything is taken care of like they would with their own bikes. Really nice people to have a chat with and everything in store is top quality.
