It has been going for what feels like 20 years and I always think that says a lot about the level of service and quality of product that a place produces. Most people in Bangor will have bought a bike from here at one point and while it isn't for the biking conniseur, its more for kids bikes and recreationals you will certainly find what you need here at a really good price. There are bikes starting at about £50 going all the way up to a couple of hundred. One minor complaint would be the lack of parking near by as you will inevitably need to put a bike in the boot of the car.

Amazing service!

I decided to drive out to Bangor after reading the good reviews on this Facebook page. The place was amazing! Loads of lovely bikes at good prices. Both guys were really friendly and couldnt of been more helpful. They helped me pick the right bike, right size and showed me how to work everything. Really great customer service!

The famous McConvey cycles has been around for a long time and features everything an amateur or…read moreserious cyclist should need. Placing myself firmly in the 'amateur' bracket when it came to get a new bike I found the staff unintimidating and always helpful and sincere when answering my less than informed questions. The shop runs over 2 storeys and has everything from kid's bikes through to serious roadsters. They also do the 'cycle to work' scheme here which was one of the reasons I was down to check the selection. The assistant actually managed to talk me out of a more expensive model when he realised I wasn't going to be doing any serious miles on the bike and reminded me about a few necessary accessories (like a helmet, lock and lights!). After receiving the bike and a few admiring looks/comments from friends and colleagues I was only too happy to recommend McConveys to them. Pros: Good selection of bikes and accessories. Very knowledgeable staff. Cons: Location not idea. No parking.

Would not recommend this shop to anyone just starting or just returning to cycling. They are only…read moreinterested in money and will fleece you for as much as possible. The advice they give is often false, misleading and again geared to separate you from as much of your cash as they can. If you want to buy a bike, get one on the internet and get a good technician to set it up for you because this will save you money and you'll get better looked after and get better advise somewhere else. I feel as though I've been violated by these gangsters. One of the worst shops I've ever had the misfortune to step into. Never ever again. Fraudsters.

Pros: Low prices, fast shipping…read more Cons: VERY poor customer service experience. Ordered a groupset and they sent me two front sets of brakes instead of a set for front and rear. When I brought this up with them they immediately blamed me (because obviously I'd need two front brake sets to build a bike right?) and refused to assist telling me it is my fault and need to order the rear brake separately. Bottom line: I refuse to do business with a company that doesn't treat their customers well. It's not worth the lower prices, you're better off going somewhere else.

That turned out to be just a nightmare, first they gave me a tracking number that is invalid so I can't follow where the package is. Second, they have told me they have not received it and they just blow me off asking the same questions over and over again even though they've been answered. I don't expect to ever get a refund from these people I think the way that they are able to undersell folks is when you return an item they tell you it's lost and then they resell it, if you reselling something a couple times you can cut the prices down now can't you. Perhaps if you're in Europe these people are safe but if you're in United States stay away from them you're better off paying a little extra and dealing with an American company or your local bike shop. I'll never deal with CRC again and I recommend you be very careful if you do.

There were some slight equipment variations due to availability issues (in my case the pedals I ordered were out of stock and had the potential to delay shipment of my order).

I will definitely recommend to other and would order from them again in a heartbeat.

The store is an unorganized mess so don't expect to find what your looking for, but do expect it to be cold musty and have an electric heater with a dog being bored to tears. The last time I was there the shop attendant/owner was busy working away on something and I asked him a question. All of a sudden this other bloke comes from beyond the beyond and starts dealing with me. It turned out he was the attendees friend that just kinda hangs out in the store. If I ever own a shop I wish I will be able to persuade a friend that their life is so bad and they have nothing better to do than to hang out in my cold smelly shop and deal with every customer. I think I'm feeling the innovation of a new customer service model coming on!!! Don't expect to get a receipt, I didn't!!! and I'm not to sure the price I paid wasn't plucked from the friends imagination. However I did get what I was asking for. In future I will ignore the friend and ask to speak to management, maybe if I'm lucky the dog won't be too busy to help.
