Top notch fella Steve, he did a bike fit for me in Dubai , his level of detail is fist class, he is passionate about what he does, knows all the bling bits you want! and he is a really nice guy he had a seat made for me via a contact see below pic for how detailed it is…

Purchased a fantastic bike from the bike tailor, a Reilly spectre.I'd had the opportunity to ride with Stephen who listened to me talk about the kind of bike I was looking to ride and specced the Reilly spectre. A fabulous all road bike, put together impeccably by Dave the mechanic with out a bike fit but which fitted me perfectly without any adjustment. Looking forward to new adventures in 2025... wholeheartedly recommend the Bike tailor.

Steve and Dave offer the top bikes and servicing in the Brighton area. Nothing but the best brands available, and utmost care and quality work. Stanmer Tearooms right beside is excellent and handy as well!

I've been using Stephen Roche's services for over 10 years now, including multiple bike, saddle and shoe fits, bike servicing and repairs, and building my dream bike. If you want top quality service and are prepared to pay for it, you won't be disappointed. Stephen and Dave are a fantastic team, friendly, easy to talk with and have been always happy to help and give guidance. I'm happy to recommend them.

Dave and Steve are both incredibly knowledgeable. They know their onions! whether it’s bike fitting, servicing, or Steve’s knowledge and passion of the bespoke bike world and his contacts within it. I’ve used there services for the last 5 years and wouldn’t go anywhere else now. Their level of detail into their builds raises them to whole new level compared to any other shop I’ve used in the past. Highly recommended

I can't recommend enough both Stephen & Dave at 'The Bike Tailor' in Bike Fitting, Custom Bike Building & Bike Servicing! They are personable, friendly & knowledgeable people with a genuine passion for getting you the right setup for enjoying your cycling not necessarily the most expensive setup. Here's a longer review of why that is from my perspective: I first got in contact with Stephen for a bike fitting for a charity cycle I had coming up. He was flexible in finding a time for me, he was one of the only bike fitters around in both Brighton and London that I contacted who could also help me find the correct shoes (something I have always struggled with in my years of cycling). Stephen was very helpful & professional in my initial bike fitting. Not only did he give me the correct setup and shoes but also helped educate me. The same can be said for Dave who is the mechanic and went over my bike and fixed a few issues that I had yet to realise were wrong with it. The 500km charity cycle was the most comfortable I have had on my bike due to the bike fit. Unfortunately, later in the year, my bike had to have an early retirement (RIP Eddy) due to carbon frame issues. After discussing potential options with Stephen & Dave, I trusted them to create a custom build for my needs (although they were happy to recommend and give feedback for an off-the-shelf bike). As mentioned they didn't try and sell me the most expensive option they could. They offered a spec that was relevant to my needs, experience and budget. As well, as moving any parts over from my previous bike to reduce the cost further. The new Reilly Spectre has been perfect so far in the rides I have managed and has increased comfort for the longer rides I want to cycle. Which was exactly what I was looking for as well as the option to have an All-Road bike when I want to head down a gravel route. I have been incredibly satisfied with my experience at The Bike Tailor and look forward to continuing to use Stephen and Dave for the years to come.

I have used The Bike Tailor a number of times now and found their services to be excellent. Both Stephen and David are very experienced and provide informed advice along with reasonable service costs. I recommend this company to anyone who has not used them before. As an aside, there is an excellent cafeteria immediatly opposite which offer excellent hot drinks and food too.

These sellers gave me excellent service at a fair price, during a period when many cycle parts were in short supply. I would recommend and use again. I can confirm that a I have received no financial reward or gain for this review. John G Essex

The Bike Tailor service is amazing - Stephen helped me set up my new road bike for my Triathlon training, and has also serviced the bike for me. The service is excellent, helpful, supportive, friendly, they really know what they are doing - I definitely recommend these guys!

Great service and communication when I was ordering a new groupset for my bike. Was struggling to find one in stock at the time and the Bike Tailor had one. Although advertised as a bike fit and workshop, they stepped up to ensure great service. All round great service to the cycling community!
