Friendly, professional, thorough.
Will and your TEAM,
I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere appreciation for the exceptional way you combine your passion for cycling with your commitment to customer service. Your enthusiasm for cycling doesn't just show in your knowledge of bikes and equipment, but in how you genuinely connect with customers who share that interest.
The way you go above and beyond to understand each customer's specific cycling needs and preferences truly stands out. Your patience in explaining technical details, suggesting appropriate gear, and sharing your personal insights from the cycling community creates an experience that's both helpful and inspiring.
Your authentic love for cycling translates into the kind of customer service that builds lasting relationships rather than just completing transactions. Customers can feel that you genuinely care about enhancing their cycling experience, not just making a sale.
Thank you.
The complete bike shop since 1860. Focused on you from the moment you walk in for anything from an inner tube to a bike fit or bike.
Helpful, courteous and knowledgeable the team are there to help you with what you need.
Quick, attentive, excellent service.
Mat did great job and me a favour sorting contaminated brake after just popping in on off chance. Much appreciated!
Great service, personal and attentive, increasingly broad and exclusive range of products.
Good service, effeciently, friendly and knowledgeable staff done well within the agreeed time frame.
Always quality service and advice given, extremely helpful staff and owners. Quality bikes and accessories. This is my ‘go to’ bike shop for information, products and bike servicing.
Pearsons (now renamed Forge1860) is everything a bike shop. They manufacture excellent bikes, the service is friendly and sensible. The two brothers (5th generation with 6th generation working in the shop) are always there to welcome you and ask what you need. The workshop is busy but you can always pop in at the weekend and they will endeavour to help. I would not go anywhere else.
Excellent timely service. Best bike shop in London
Lovely friendly family business.
Expert knowledge.
Since you ask…changing the unique and lovely Pearson logo for a vanilla one is a mistake in my view.
Never ask unskilled people what they think of graphic design and then act on a poll!
That’s all

Customer service has been superb since my first enquiry about purchasing the Pearson On and On. Prompt replies to emails and polite friendly staff when I’ve had to call the store. My bike arrived the very next day, well packaged and a quality bit of kit. Shame there are no stores further North.

Excellent products, helpful and friendly staff. As the correct shoe size wasn't in stock it was ordered and posted very promptly. Thank you Forge 1860 for exceptional service. I'll be back in future.
It's not just the great products that make Forge 1860 a great business, it's the outstanding service.
Nothing is a problem for the team, in my experience they are all there to help. I find that you get straightforward advice, not just attempts to sell more products. And if you are in a jam they will be sure to do their best to sort you out. I have experienced that myself. And in the shop I have witnessed first hand how they help others to take the stress out of tricky problems.
This family business has been around for a very long time and given the way that they operate, they deserve to be around for a lot longer!
Great bikes and very good service.
Build quality. Great service.
Personal service and expertise. It wasn’t the right bike for me this time but I’d recommend them and consider them for a future bike purchase.

Fab service, very personal, great bikes and kit, what is not to like! Thank you for supporting my cycling journey. Nick
