Recommended Balfes Bikes

Recommended Posts

I just have to post a recommendation for the wonderful team at Balfes Bikes. My beloved bike that I had since 2005 and rode everywhere, was nicked a couple of weeks ago, and I first called the original place I bought my bike to see if i could buy another one. The guy who answered basically, laughed when I explained what had happened and said it was a joke thinking I could get a bike this year as everywhere was sold out. I then phoned Balfes who i've been to for servicing my old bike over the years, and got the best service I could have wished for. They were understanding,very patient with me (after trying a few bikes!)and I spoke to 3 different guys on my visits there, all were brilliant , and ordered in what I chose which came within the week. So a shout out to a great local asset!

I have taken my vintage 40-year old Di Blasi folding bike to Balfe's Bikes Dulwich on 2 occasions (punctured tyre and gear problems) and another bike that needed the the gear change wire replaced. On all occasions, the Balfe's guys were very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable - and managed to fix the problems. Definitely recommend them!

    • Rather than have a go at Southwark,  contact them, they will employ at least one arborist who will know far more than most people on this site. Here's one: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shaun-murphy-morris-03b7b665/?originalSubdomain=uk
    • I would look in the surrounding area as once they realise it has nothing they could sell or of obvious monatary value in it they'll dump the bag and contents.
    • Not in mine either if I knew they were there 🤣
    • Trees, eh? I feel your pain, EDP, but I like the light provided by the pollarding. I'm interested in the gingko, tho.  I love a tree, me - Hillsboro Rd has lost about five over the last 20 years (2x lime, cherry, strawberry, and, er...). The council did take down about 5 ill original lime trees behind our house but then gave us Golden Rain trees. God, if only we had known what a PITA they are. The main problems are massive invasive surface roots which have buggered up my back fence and paving, plus thousands of vigorously self-seeding offspring every year, which I go around pulling up before they turn into trees. And the leaves are tough things, like horse chestnuts, so don't rot easily. I hate them.  Wish they could have been something native and attractive, like birch or something... council isn't interested in helping.  Ah, well.
