"Robert is simply the best cycle mechanic I have discovered - his attention to technical detail is second to none." Richard


"Excellent service. I highly recommend Robert." Alex


"Robert serviced (and fixed!) my Gazelle bike! It now feels like a brand new bike, parts and essential bits, that needed Robert's hugely experienced hand and eye - that us lesser mortals cannot see or know how to remedy - were balanced, lengthened, realigned, strengthened. I'm nothing other than someone who likes to use my bike; I have cycled hard, pootled slowly, had my little kids on the back, shopped and sight-seen by bike - everyone who cycles, big trips, small errands or otherwise needs Robert the Bike Magician. Thank you!!!" Lisanne


"Robert has just serviced my ebike and took great interest and care in doing so. He made a beautiful job of making and fitting a front mudguard flap to prevent dirt splashing. A lovely lovely person, very knowledgeable on all cycling matters, very helpful, and superb workshop and time to talk all cycling matters. Thank you Robert for the time and action in getting my bike in tip top condition at a very very reasonable price." Pauline


"Robert had my Cannondale Synapse this week. He fitted new front and rear derailleurs, new gear cables and a couple of race tyres. The service has been absolutely exemplary. Communication has been superb, letting me know what stage the repairs were at, what faults had been found and recommendations on gear choice. I was made to feel comfortable during the process and Robert is very knowledgeable, able to offer advice and guidance which was hugely appreciated. The time, attention and care that has been bestowed on my bike combined with the very reasonable price means I will never go elsewhere in future. I cannot recommend Newent Bicycle Maintenance highly enough!" Andrew


"Thank you Robert. I am very pleased with your quick and very professional service on my Merida road bike. Excellent! Cheers." Steve



"I’ve just returned with our two bikes having had a thorough service by Robert for the first time. Robert was very informative and explained thoroughly all of the work he had carried out and how we should best look after them until their next service. Really pleased with the service Robert carried out. Highly recommend. Thank you" Julie


"Excellent service, clear explanation of everything that was done and straightforward explanations of what I would need to do for maintenance. The bike is now like new." Nick


"We are delighted by the care and attention you have given to our daughter's bike and got it roadworthy again in such a quick time!" Jackie


"I can hardly put into words how highly I would recommend Robert and Newent Bicycle Maintenance... but I'll give it a shot. I'm a relative newbie to cycling. I took my bike to Robert for a service and on arrival I was immediately put at ease by his polite demeanour and welcoming manner.


Into possibly the most well organised workshop this side of NASA, my bike was mounted on a stand and Robert began to talk me through everything that would be done and what needed to be done. Sensing my relative ignorance of things bicycle he effortlessly adjusted his speech to what is described as layman's terms without patronizing.. wonderful! I left the bike and drove away a happy man...


Less than 24hrs later I received a detailed work report, fully broken down invoice and notice that the bike was ready! I've just picked it up and it feels and looks like new.


Polite, professional, encyclopaedic knowledge ,honest and supremely skilled...Incredible!" Ian


"Our bikes are just back from a thorough service and are like new. Totally recommend Robert, a very helpful and knowledgeable man. 5 star..." Rosemary



"Top Bloke... Robert serviced my daughter's and my bike. Full details of work done. Highly recommended, great service and value for money. Genuine. Now and again a gem comes along and Robert is it..." Dawn



"One thing I'll say first off is that if you take your bike to Robert, you will get an outstanding quality of work. I didn't recognise my bike when I got it back, it was immaculately cleaned and the work completed was amazing, even down to the detailed invoice of work carried out. Definitely recommend 100% regardless of what work needs doing. Thank you for a great service." Mark


"Robert offers a comprehensive cycle repair service, but he offers much more than that. To truly understand things we need to know the "why?" and this is the area where Robert adds real value and insight. I left with not just a repaired bike, but the knowledge of why it needed repair, how I can prevent the need for repair in the future and how I can repair it myself, should I choose to. I can't recommend Robert's services enough and I only wish I'd had the benefit of them years ago!" Chris


"Wonderfully quick and friendly service, at a very reasonable price. We felt our bikes were in such safe hands with Robert, and he explained everything afterwards so well, so we went away better bike owners." Abi


"I would like to say how happy I was with Robert's service. After taking my mountain bike off the barn wall, where it had hung for twenty years - and have Robert service it, fit replacement parts and make it trail and road worthy again - was great. I now enjoy trail riding again. All at a very good price. It certainly beats buying a new bike! I fully recommend Newent Bicycle Maintenance. Thank you again." Alan


"I would highly recommend Robert's services. His knowledge is second to none and he looked after my bike with expertise and great care. I immediately noticed a vast improvement following Robert's work and so will definitely be back for the next service!" Adam


Since finding Robert on facebook he has fixed all my family's bikes. Excellent service, great knowledge too. I would highly recommend him." Damon


Great service from Robert. Very patient when I returned a few times after some downhill sessions to sort a lingering problem." Andy


"Robert did a fantastic job restoring two old mountain bikes that had been given to us. Beforehand they were unusable so it has been a real turnaround. Robert was also really helpful in giving us tips on how to reduce the weight of the bikes and explained everything very clearly. Also clear communication throughout. Would definitely recommend." Lucy


"If you are looking for somewhere reliable with excellent maintenance at not over the top prices, look no further." Nick


"Robert is a true professional - paying as much care, attention and expertise in reviving a facebook-marketplace bargain buy as he did for my pro cycle. I would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for a service, upgrade or a simple check of their cycle." Steve


"Thanks for the great work you did on my bike!! The bike performed absolutely brilliantly on the day and felt so efficient!! See you again for my next bike service!" Gareth


"Excellent service, very reasonable prices, carried out in a very professional way. I'm very pleased with the finished outcome." Tony


"Just taken the bike out for a ride. All is good and working smoothly! Thanks for your very efficient service!" Mike


"I was looking for a bike repair at short notice ahead of a cycling event and I'm delighted I found Robert. He provided an exceptional service and took the time to run through all aspects of my bike with me. I've already been recommending him to friends and I'll certainly be using his services again in the future. 10/10". Jack
