1. Guarantee of Quality
When you buy a Cycle Exchange pre-owned bicycle via Flamme Rouge, you’re investing in quality as our bikes are sourced from the UK’s premier pre-owned seller. Unlike individual sellers or less reputable outlets, Cycle Exchange meticulously inspect and refurbish their bicycles to ensure they meet high standards. Every bike at Cycle Exchange undergoes a thorough quality check, ensuring that it functions as smoothly as a new one and comes with up to a 1 year warranty to back this up. This rigorous process not only enhances the bike’s performance but also extends its lifespan, offering you great value for your money.
At Flamme Rouge we have a display of Cycle Exchnage pre-owned bikes that you can come and see the quality for yourself. We also have access to the entire range of bike available from Cycle Exchange which (for a small deposit) can be shipped to us within a week for you to view. You will surprised at the high quality nature of the bikes, and in many instances struggle to differentiate a new bike from a pre-owned one in any aspect apart from the price!
2. Broad Range of Brands and Models
Another significant advantage of purchasing a Cycle Exchange pre owned bike via Flamme Rouge Cycles is the broader range of brands and bicycle models available. Unlike shopping for a new bike where you may be limited to a few brands at any one shop the Cycle Exchange pre-owned range at Flamme Rouge Cycles includes a diverse selection of premium brands like Pinarello, Colnago, Factor, and Cannondale.
This wide variety changes daily and ensures that you can find a bike that not only suits your specific needs but also aligns with your personal preferences and style, offering a unique and tailored cycling experience.
3. Cost-Effectiveness
Buying a pre-owned bicycle from a premium retailer is often more economical than purchasing a new one. The discounts when compared to buying new can be significant, often with bikes available at less than half the new price.
Despite being pre-owned, these bikes are always in excellent condition due to the comprehensive refurbishment they undergo. This means you get a high-quality bicycle at a fraction of the cost of a new one. Additionally, the included warranty makes it a smart financial decision.
Combine these savings with the option of additional savings through part exchanging your old bike or buying through a cycle to work scheme mean a new to you bike could be financially closer than you’d expect.
