I told them that this was illegal, the manager did not want to know ab...

I went to Hadley's looking for advice on a bike after not having riden one for many years. They were very helpful and the stand out was Ross. He took the time to set me up on a bike that suits me and my size. I also dealt with Jono who was helpful

I bought my Giant Trance-e here 12 months ago, in that time I've come in for servicing and repairs and always, the service has been impeccable. John, the mechanic has always looked after me and goes out of his way to get me back on the trail as soon as possible .

I am a regular cyclist and occasional racer and I bought my first racing bike from Hadleys a few years ago and have dealt with them quite a few times since. They are probably Newcastle's biggest bike store (in terms of turnover) and stock the full Giant range and have a pretty good selection of spar...

The after sales was so bad after 8 months of owning the bike I sold it to buy a bike off a proper bike shop. First ...

Great variaty of bikes and gear for cycling. Staff is always friendly if you want to spent some money. I can confirm that they don't allow you to try out any bike in the carpark. I bought a decent bike and gear for 1000$. I am using that bike every day on a bicycle path. A spoke broke after 4 Month...

Lots of variety of bikes, in various styles from children to casual riders to pro.

Most of the guys were great, one of the mechanics told me that it would take 5 days for them to remove the crank from my bottom bracket (Saturday afternoon for a Wednesday pick up) . What a joke, he was happy to sell me a crank puller though. I removed in under 5 minutes.
