Do I need a bike fit?

Not everyone needs a full fit, but if you ride regularly or have discomfort, it is worthwhile. We offer consultations at Stretton Bikes — book via our bike fitting page or contact the shop.

Can you build a road bike to spec?

We can discuss builds and upgrades depending on frame availability and your requirements. Contact us with your brief and we will advise honestly on what is achievable.

Do you offer finance on road bikes?

Finance may be available on eligible models — see our finance page for details or ask in store.

How do I choose between road and gravel?

If most of your riding is smooth tarmac, a road bike is the efficient choice. If you regularly ride lanes, towpaths and light trails, a gravel bike may offer more versatility. We can talk through your typical routes and recommend accordingly.

Do you service road bikes?

Yes — from basic safety checks to full services. Our workshop is equipped for high-performance road bikes including electronic groupsets.

Buying guide

Road bike buying guide

Endurance vs aero geometry, groupsets, fit and where your money makes the biggest difference.

Read the full guide →

Which road bike is right for me?

Race-inspired geometry suits riders who want an aggressive position and sharp handling; endurance geometry is better for all-day comfort on sportives and long commutes. Groupset tier and wheel quality often matter more than marginal aero gains at sensible budgets. A proper fit transforms how a road bike feels — tell us your typical routes and we will recommend the right frame and size.

Race-inspired vs endurance geometry

Some road bikes prioritise aerodynamics and stiffness for racing; others offer a more relaxed position for sportives and all-day miles. Basso frames in our range span both philosophies. Tell us how you ride — we will steer you towards appropriate geometry rather than trend-driven choices.

Groupsets, wheels and where your money goes

Electronic and mechanical shifting each have strengths at different price points. Wheel quality often makes a noticeable difference to ride feel. We break down what you are paying for at each level on our road bike buying guide — frame material, groupset tier, wheelset and finishing kit.

Fit is not optional on a road bike

Saddle height, reach, bar width and cleat position affect comfort, power and long-term enjoyment. Our bike fitting service helps road riders dial in position before or after purchase. A well-fitted road bike transforms long rides from endurance tests into something you look forward to.

Carbon, aluminium and frame materials

Carbon offers weight savings and tuned compliance; aluminium delivers excellent value and durability. Both can make brilliant road bikes when the design and build quality are right. We focus on frames with sensible spec balance rather than cutting corners where it matters.
