We operate the best bike hire fleet in Wales and it’s time for our annual sale of ex-hire bikes.
All bikes have been professionally maintained throughout the 2023 season and will have been lovingly cleaned and serviced after every single hire. Each ex-rental bike is well and truly pampered by the Drover Cycles team before being sold, so you can expect to receive a bike that is clean, mechanically sound and in full working order. Any worn-out or broken parts will be replaced. That includes, but isn’t limited to, chains, bottom brackets and brake pads. Cosmetic damage - scuffs and scrapes - is to be expected as these bikes have been ridden and enjoyed.
We are straightforward and honest in our descriptions and will highlight any excessive wear and tear - please check the listing for details before buying. Images show the average condition of bikes in a particular category. Optional extras and/or upgrades are available for some models.
Questions? Please email us on [email protected] and we will be happy to help.After another successful season it’s time to sell on our fleet of high-quality rental bikes. For 2022 our
Standard MTB has been the popular Marin Bobcat Trail 5 - we have both 27.5” (Small and Medium) and
29” (Large and XL) variants within the fleet. This bike comes with a 1 year manufacturers warranty, even
though it has been used.
SERVICING:As usual we service these bikes diligently between hires and any components requiring
replacement are swapped out as necessary. Our replacement components are generally of higher
quality than the manufacturer’s spec so many of these bikes, for example, will have better bottom
brackets when sold than they came with originally. The same goes for chains, cables etc.
UPGRADES:Before the first hire we fit ODI Bjorn lock-on grips and replace the headsets with FSA sealed
cartridge bearing units - these upgrades are included in the sale. In addition, we remove
wheels/tyres/pedals, and fit our own for the hire season. This means that when sold the bikes are
supplied with the original, brand new and unused wheels, tyres, and pedals, ensuring good
condition and longevity for the buyer.
