bicycle repairs – bicycle service – bicycle restoration
Our workshop in Bordeaux at the nexus of Randburg, Sandton and Johannesburg's northern suburbs is your one-stop cycling service destination to keep your bike in top shape, safe and fun to ride.
We work on all bikes
Kids bikes, grown-ups bikes, old bikes, new bikes, we even make old bikes look new.
We work on high-end road bikes and MTBs .
Bordeaux Cycleworx is here to get you enjoying being on your bike, because time in the saddle is everything.
How much it costs
We charge a flat fee based on the service rate card below. If we find that your bike will need more attention or spares we will check your choice to make a plan, repair and working with what we got, or getting more stuck in to sort it out properly with new parts.
Condition of your bicycle
Most reg’lar bikes owned by reg’lar people are in poor condition.
From pretty dirty to fully crusty; sloppy bearings or screeching tight, dangerously bad brakes.
To get it into a fit state to service, it can take 2-3 hours of disassembling, cleaning and reassembly. If your bike is clean and in good condition, super, we’ll get stuck in.
If your bike is in poor condition and will require extensive work to get back to a fit state, there may be a R350 additional workshop labour charge before we service it.
Bring it over, let’s take a look and tell you your options.
