Gerry is an absolute genius. I cannot thank him enough for making a silk purse from a sow's ear.
It's been just over 3 years since I was introduced to Chris and Gerry at CSB. I had purchased my first classic bike, but all was not as it seemed I had no knowledge of what to do or where to go for help... An old friend said there is a guy in Fleet who can help... the bike was assessed, sensitive repairs were carried out, some education introduced, and my partnership with CSB started. I have now had three bikes from Chris, each one sourced, checked, adjusted and presented better than described and as I had hoped. I can strongly recommend the process which Chris adopts to nurture and tease out what you really want, then to find and produce to that detail - he really does go that extra mile. Supported by Gerry in the workshop, the knowledge and understanding is second to none - if you need that 'special' classic (or as I started, one that need sorting out) then look no further... Thank you for all your help, time and advice CSB.
It was my pleasure, you have “played a straight bat”, which is rare these days - and I hope I have too. Speak soon.
I'm very pleased with the BMW and can't wait to get out and ride it... It was an absolute pleasure doing business!
Terrific news - you made my day. Thanks so much my friend, you are the man!
Top man, I'm really happy... Just took delivery of my CCM. What a belter ! Thanks once again Chris.
Saw the bike I was looking for on Chris's website and bought it. That's enough about the bike, what about the man? What words should I use to make my point? HONEST: he was/is completely genuine about all aspects of our transactions - you should expect the same! REALISTIC: knows and applies his own personal knowledge and trade contacts information in a manner that tries to reach the best outcome for both parties. PERSONABLE: very hard guy not to like - sure it's his business, but you can also tell it's his passion as well... HUMAN: you can tell straight away it's not just about the money, he wants customers buying or selling to go away happy. GOOD-HUMOURED: we enjoyed a bit of "banter" throughout our dealings. Chris took all of my unique humour and ribbing very well! So if Chris has the bike you have always been looking for, I would say get in touch. I doubt very much if you will regret it! Great bikes, good ethics, nice guy - enough said!
Many thanks for dropping the Terrier off on Friday - what a lovely little bike, and now running really well after all your efforts in the workshop.
Honda collected and on its way. Thanks very much for a swift, honest and easy sale! Hope to do business again!
I travelled to the UK to obtain a 1967 Triumph Tiger Cub T20 from Classic Super Bikes in May this year. Chris and the crew were most helpful and all went well. I travelled around on the bike for 2 weeks in the southern part of Britain. The wee bike did not miss a beat, and the support from CSB staff was great.
The bike arrived today - a day early, nice surprise!, It started on the first kick, tick-over is spot on - I am very pleased, many thanks.
Dad is absolutely thrilled with the bike... He spent the afternoon cleaning and having a tinker with the carb etc. His words: "it runs beautifully. So smooth and starts on first prod. I have been lucky to find such a good bike and never seen another like it". Many thanks for remembering me when the James came along...wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to anyone.
