Est. 2019 · Stoke Newington
Fifteen kinds of repair, three levels of service, and a mechanic who has spent four years teaching this for City & Guilds. We quote before we start and we charge for time spent — if it takes less, it costs less.

Servicing
Prices are a guideline — some jobs are more intricate than others, and parts are extra. You always get a quote before we commit.
£85
The routine tune-up
A full inspection of frame and components for wear, every bolt torqued to spec, and gear and brake adjustment. Includes tyre health and pressure checks, chain lubrication, and fitting of brake pads, pedals or small accessories.
£130
The performance overhaul
A full drivetrain degrease, precision wheel truing including spoke replacement, and a complete cable refresh. Internal bearings — headset and bottom bracket — assessed and adjusted.
£200
The total rebuild
Stripped, professionally cleaned and rebuilt to fresh-off-the-shelf condition. Deep drivetrain degrease, hydraulic brake bleed, cable replacement, precision truing. Tubeless setups, bar tape, racks and accessories — every detail covered.
Modifications and accessory fitting run at £45 an hour, charged by time spent. Book to your budget
Custom builds
Tell us how you ride and we will spec it — frame, wheels, gearing, contact points, the lot. Build it with us over a day, or hand it over and collect it finished. Green Commute Initiative has no £1,000 cap, so a custom build on cycle-to-work is genuinely possible.
£25 consultation and sourcing fee, deducted from the final build.

What people say
Passionate about what they do and really good at it too. London Bike Studio went above and beyond to get my bike to be the best it could be for the price.
Toby Dye — local resident
Probably the best bike mechanic in London. Came to Diego with a smashed bottom bracket and left with a finely-tuned machine.
Ben Dilley — Hackney resident
Small and cosy studio, with big smiles and service. The team will treat you like family. I recommend the maintenance courses which you can adapt and customise yourself. Epic place, epic people.
