Bought the bike for my Wife, she absolutely loves it. It's certainly special as it was designed by our son's with a little help from me. It certainly stands out and visually it looks fantastic. My only disappointment was the poor quality touch points. The grips felt like really cheap BMX style grips (the colour wasn't the right shade either). Brake leavers were nasty, not smooth and the metal felt sharp and harsh, almost reminded of my bike I had as a kid. Easily resolved, I spent an extra £20 and bought some lock on grips and some genuine Tektro leavers to match the brakes. Now it feels smoother and better quality! Probably the two most important parts of the bike, apart from the saddle (which is great by the way). I can't understand why Mango bikes would scrimp and save on these? I really wanted to give Mango bikes a 5 star review, but I can't help to feel a bit disappointed.

Loving my new wheels - have already named her Frankie ... Frankie the fixie! She has helped me get around London during the lockdown and helped me avoid public transport. Mango were great at delivery and I managed to put her together in about 15 minutes... and I have zero bike knowledge!

It's seems that one star reviews get removed from this site so I will try again, but this doesn't seem to be particularly ethical. Bought my bike in January, on arrival looked nice but on assembly it was apparent that the headset was tight which was confirmed on my first ride when I nearly came off due to the problem with the headset. Number of punctures do to the inadequate tyres provided with the bike and then the spokes on the front wheel started to come loose. One eventually came out. The gears hadn't been set up correctly which I had to sort myself. Mango agreed I could take it to a bike shop to get the headset sorted out. They confirmed it hadn't been assembled correctly and it was dangerous. The paint had chipped off around the headset due to the tightness. Mango did provide upgraded wheels due to the spoke issue which were better for a short period. After a few more weeks bottom bracket went so eventually I was sent a new bike which was fine but recently the rear hub bearings have gone in the rear wheel (water ingress) which I accept can happen but on top of everything else means I have no confidence in the bike. On the new bike the front derailleur was twisted on receipt which I had to sort myself again. The bike is actually great when it works, looks really good and rides well but the constant problems have meant I wouldn't buy a Mango again. This is a shame as I wanted to support an emerging British firm, others have no doubt had a good experience but mine has been pretty frustrating and disappointing. No doubt this one star review will disappear again. 7.3.2017 - Update I have been asked by Mango the revise this review, I have replied as follows - Dear Mango bikes I am afraid I won't be able to revise my review. Whilst some of the support I had was acceptable on a number of occasions it took me a lot of time to try to get things resolved. In essence the bikes I had from Mango were nothing but grief. By way of comparison in roughly the same time period I did 3149 miles on the Mango and with my new bike (Giant) I have done 4189. The Mango was off the road for 3 - 4 weeks in that time (about 5 to 6 months), the Giant has performed faultlessly. Both were roughly the same price. I take no pleasure in taking this decision but my experience with Mango was very poor to say the least, hence the level of review. Regards

Hi Neil, we're really sorry that you had a bad experience with the bike. We hope that the solutions we have now provided for you are adequate. We take a lot of pride in the design and operation of our bikes, and take all feedback very seriously. We have a Point AR rider in the Transcontinental Race this year and another rider travelling over 3000 miles on his Point R.

Bike is great. Lovely to ride although only had it for a few days. 5 stars for the bike - 1 Star for customer experience Customer service is very lacking. 2 months without any reply to emails/calls/DM’s! Only managed to get a reply/update when I bombarded social media with complaints. Wouldn’t have minded the delay if I was at least getting updates, but being left in the dark after spending a heap of money is just not on.

Don’t buy from this company. I understand there’s been set backs regarding Covid-19 and the increase in demand, but this does not warrant the decline in customer service that everyone is experiencing. Instead of lining your pockets with the increase in cash you’re gaining over this period, why don’t you hire more customer service staff to actually communicate with your customers. Instead they decide to bombard you with rubbish email campaigns and pointless blogs. How hard would it be to simply respond to customers regarding an estimated wait time that actually is accurate instead of adding an extra week or so every time they ask? I managed to create a spreadsheet that estimated when my bike would be arriving that was accurate to the nearest week! If I can do something like this why the hell cant you with the millions of data points you have available. The bike itself is brilliant, but they still managed to mess that up by not packaging the front wheel well, and ended up leaving the screw for the quick release wheels bent and hanging out of the box! Abysmal service and absolute nightmare of a company to deal with.

Ordered my bike on the 29th April as the website touted a 1 week build time. Albeit Covid-19 affected global supply chains; I wasn't given an estimated build date until after 8 weeks. This date was then changed twice. I contacted Mango bikes multiple times and got no response until I was eventually told there was an issue with "delivery of wheels" and that my bike would be made a "priority" build that week....two weeks later still no bike and was then advised wheels were being sent in "batches". Basically lied to about 3-4 times about when I would get the bike. Eventually waited over 9 weeks until it was delivered which worked out at 48 working days. Their blog posts calling customers "trolls" for trying to get products they have paid for are in poor taste and I wouldn't recommend anyone order a bike from them. Mango; don't accept orders for new bikes until you can fulfill the demand for the ones ordered months before. My friend also ordered hers at the beginning of June and is having the exact same experience.

Hi William Sorry you had to wait for your bike. our order is one is most badly affected so apologies for this. Demand has been unprecedented and then some more. Supply chains struggling to keep up. Our service has dropped for sure but our bikes remain awesome as ever. The blog about trolling was most definitely not about customers wanting information. That's totally fine and understandable but a minority have taken things too far (posting staff personal social media profiles, leaving messages threatengin to "pay us a visit", etc). That is trolling. We're also much clearer with schedules and expected dispatch dates. Orders placed now (August) for example will be built October. Sorry you feel let down by us, we're getting back on track. Hoepfully you can ride happy now you've got your bike.

My bike took 2.5 months and the wheel were the wrong colour - shocking customer service. Avoid purchasing from Mango at all costs

Possibly the worst service I could have imagined. Sadly I wouldnt recommend this company to anyone, not because of the product however. Completely because of the shambles that is their customer service. I understand I ordered a bike during a pandemic where everyone was buying a bike. So I was okay with a delay even though at the time they had on their home page "Delivery within 2 weeks" But I was ignored for 7 weeks, my bike then turned up with no instructions or tools which would have helped. The only time I got a response was once I had gone off in their instagram comments. When I finally got a response Andrew was only interesting in telling me not to talk bad about his team, Didnt offer much in the help or answers to the issues I had. In fact I have since fixed the issues with help from a friend and still waiting for a response from Andrew about the issues I had with my bike. Its a shame because the bike is great, but I have slight resentment with it as it was such a nightmare to get. Hopefully they reinvest in some customer service, because it absolutely isnt working currently. Thanks for the bike, but wouldnt buy anything from here ever again.

20/05 - Purchased bike parts and accessories which included a 6 spoke front wheel (black) + 6 spoke rear wheel (black + flip flop). 03/06 - Received an email telling me that both the wheels were not in stock but provided me options, one of which was to swap for a set of 3 spoke wheels (black) instead. 03/06 - I emailed back accepting the offer of the 3 spoke wheel set. 05/06 - I emailed again since I got no reply. 05/06 - I received an email confirming the swap and will be out for delivery asap. 15/06 - Received delivery but both of the 3 spoke wheels were rear wheels, neither of which had been configurated to flip flop. 1 wheel with nothing and 1 wheel with no fixed cog just freewheel. 15/06 - I emailed about the incorrect wheels. 21/06 - I emailed again since I got no reply. 23/06 - Received email saying they will send out the correct front wheel, and a fixed cog which I can attach to the rear wheel with the missing fixed cog. 26/06 - I received the delivery but the wheel was not a 3 spoke front wheel (black) but instead a 6 spoke front wheel (black). In addition, the fixed cog that came does not correctly screw on to the rear wheel that has the freewheel cog but will correctly screw onto the rear wheel that came with no cogs attached, suggesting that the rear wheel with the freewheel has been put on the wrong side. 26/06 I emailed about the incorrect wheel and issues with the rear cog. 01/07 Emailed again since i got no reply. 06/07 Finally sorted. A terrible experience that all could be avoided if the website prevented orders of items that aren't in stock, which is hardly some revolutionary feature in 2020

Ordered some camo grips and a pair of bullhorn handlebars on the 1st of July (both showing as in stock and would be dispatched same or next day). Received a package on the 8th of July containing only the grips and no handlebars. I have since emailed, rang, instant messaged their website and contacted them via Facebook. I have received no reply as to where my handlebars are from any of the above. I understand that this is a very busy time for them but the lack of communication is ridiculous. I have no idea where to contact now as they are clearly not replying via any form of communication. I will not be buying anything from Mango bikes again

It took just under 2 month for someone to get in touch about my order. To date I only have the bike and the lock I ordered. The helmet is out of stock but they still allow you to order it on the website - taking people’s money when they don’t have stock - misleading and dishonest.

Bike: Looks fantastic, rides well. Easily assembled. Price: Very Reasonable - one of the more affordable Single Speed bikes on the market compared to other Single/Fixed gear brands. Delivery: Bike took 3 weeks to arrive. To those complaining that their bike did not arrive in estimated time - use some common sense? We are in a global pandemic, with courier services experiencing delays and WFH measures put in place. There has also been an increased demand for bikes during this time - combination of good weather and more free time. Additionally, the bike is custom built! Employees may be off sick, there may be less working due to social distancing measures, meaning less output and longer wait times. It was obvious my bike was never going to arrive as fast as it usually would. I waited patiently and received my bike in perfect condition. Why knock 2 Star off? 1. I ordered 2 spare inner tubes which were not included with my package. I have emailed Mango and awaiting response (2 days). 2. I agree with other customers that posting Social Media content, yet failing to respond to customers within 24 hours, is not particularly good customer service.

*Disclaimer- I understand these times are difficult however the business is clearly still operating Firstly I just want to say the bike I ordered myself is amazing, I love every part of it that fact it’s custom and to my own design I love it, this is however about the only positive. The whole buying experience was horrific, I opted to do part finance which took best part of 2 hours as it wasn’t an option on their site at the time so that’s not really their fault and communication was going good between emails and the sites chat. Once this was done it was the best part of 3 weeks before it was delivered I was told about no delivery dates ect nothing I was constantly been ignored via email and even tried using their social media. So the bike comes just how I imagined perfect after nearly a month of waiting I finally get the bike I wanted. However on only my 3rd ride I noticed a loose crank (which was already attached and tightened when it came) I thought nothing of it get home and by this point the thing is hanging off. So I bought a simple allen key from home bargains and take it off to realise there was a massive chip inside the metal creating the fault, this was after less than 10 miles of riding. The bike is now totally unusable. I understand these things happen it could of happened during shipping or at any point before that. So I sent a lengthy email with pictures and videos clearly showing the fault. This was 11 days ago now and I’ve tried all there social medias and email. Nothing not a single response like they don’t care about their customers. I’d like to add times are hard and it may take a while to get back to someone but the fact they’re still posting on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter and totally disregarding there customer is disgusting. Overall a very stressful experience and I would strongly strongly avoid buying from them at this time. Maybe I’m unlucky but I can see others having similar experiences, maybe in future they will improve their services as the product can be amazing.

I started a conversation using the little message logo on your main webpage raising a query about some handlebars I was interested in. The message was read but no one replied.I repeated the message again the following day but again no one replied.

I order a bike weeks ago, I have been contacting them for over a week now and no one is getting back to me. The bikes look cool. It the customer service is total shocker and is non existent.

Really pleased with the bike, pictures look great and am looking forward to riding it once I receive it. However, this won’t be making up for the customer service I received... Overwhelmingly I felt that the customer service from Mango Bikes was really poor. I understand these are difficult circumstances right now for businesses in terms of stock/supply...however there’s been very little customer care to make up for this. After ordering the bike, I had no contact from the company about how long I may be waiting, and when I did chase this up I was given very vague information in a delayed response. It is not the fact that the bike took nearly 3 weeks to arrive, i have been more than happy to wait. It is instead the fact that Mango have not been proactive in their communication at all - I am always the one who had to instigate any conversation about the progress of my order. Even at this moment I am waiting for an answer to a simple yes/no question about whether the bike has a quick release wheel which I sent 3 days ago. I’ve contacted them over live chat, after a few days I telephoned because I didn’t get a response, then the person on the phone told me to email as they weren’t sure the answer to my question. Definitely would go to another company for my next purchase as I felt the whole experience was just me constantly chasing up information on my orders. As mentioned, I have shown understanding and not once complained about the time it took to receive my order - however as a company you must also show a mutual understanding that customers are anxious about the progress of their orders too.

Hi Louis Sorry we've disappointed you with our support along the way. Definitely not what we're about or want customers to feel. Easter hasn't helped with the delivery but can see it's due with you in the next 24 hours. We've moved staff around onto random hours to minimise contact with each other and keep the business operating. All the simple things have become slower and we've dropped the ball on some important things. Apologies for this and hopefully new bike day and your first ride will make you feel a bit better about Mango Bikes. Mango Bikes // Andrew

Bike itself is good, when buying the bike I’m sure the ad said the bike came with Shimano gears but when I got it, they were a different brand (the website has had an update since and no longer mentions shimano) & unfortunately my bike wasn’t fitted with a mango seat, I got a bit of cheap one which I’ve since replaced as it was uncomfortable. Communication of the changes would of been appreciated considering they’re two major components. Arrived fairly promptly, 4 weeks from the order date it came and was easy to set up. Had a few long rides & the bike handles well, gears could be a bit smoother but overall I’m happy with it just a bit annoying about the gears not being as stated and me being one of the unlucky ones about the seat.

One of the pedals came off after a few rides because the threads wore out on the crank. I tried to replace the crank but the ones sold on the website are a different size to the one fitted on my bike. Then the crankset couldn’t be taken out because the threads wore out on the inside as well, so they had to be cut out with an angle grinder and replaced. Overall I had to pay £160 to sort this out on top of the price of the bike, which was delayed by months anyway. It’s a beautiful looking bike and nice to ride but the overall experience has been a huge disappointment.
