G-Whizz Cycles

Its my absolute favourite bike shop in Brighton! The asisstant allowed me to ride plenty of bikes; also, I was well adviced on types, brands, frame materials and sizes. etc. That really helped me to choose the right bike I needed.
I havent bought my bike there but I’ve seen some really good brand, used road bikes, from £250 to £500. Worth turning up if you’re on a tight budget, don’t trust ebay, but still want a good bike.
Bike repairs are quite cheap and good. I’ve got my crankarm repaired there, haven’t complained about it yet, for over a year!
Basically, if you don’t understand anything in bikes, but you need an advice, you must turn up to g-​whizz; if you want to buy a good used bike for a cheaper price, you must turn up there; and if you’re bike broke down, here is wonderful place to fix it and bring back to its previous condition.

It’s an excellent shop for bikes new or used. There also guarantee for two month on bikes.

This is a brilliant second hand cycle shop, and the cheapest I could find. They are based Hove way just off the seafront on a side street. The cheapest cycles are usually out the front, expect anything from 50 to 100 quid here. When I got my bike there was about 3 to choose from in my price range, and since I was scrimping, this was a very nice surprise. I ended up getting full equipped (bike, helmet, lock and lights) for 85 quid which was an absolute bargain, I think they said I could come back for a fix up but no problems yet!

G-​Whizz sells a wide range of refurbished second hand bikes, all stacked in neat rows stretching back into the shop and looking very shiny and clean. The care and attention that G-​Whizz put into their bikes is obvious as soon as you see them.
Walking into the shop, you can see the workshop to the side, full of oil and elbow grease, where bikes are refurbished and other bikes repaired.
Unfortunately they didn’t have a bike suitable for me when I visited (stupidly I decided to try and buy a cheap bike at the start of the university term when they’d already been snapped up in freshers’ week),. but having seen the obvious professionalism here I would certainly bring my bike here for repairs.

Okay I have never bought I bike here… so I can’t really comment on their range of second-​hand cycles but I have had my bike repaired a fair few times and there’s something about G-​Whizz that I love… which is good old fashioned service. Sometimes with bike repair places I suspect they just tighten the breaks, put in a corner, kick it twice and charge you £30 when they say they are going to work on it and tune it up. G-​Whizz is the real deal — they (he) does the work — doesn’t over charge — doesn’t install anything you don’t ask for and gets it done when he says it will.
Great stuff… just wish it was open more often!

This place is great, and ideal if you’re a student looking for a bike and wary of getting ripped off. On that note — beware of Halfords and Action Bikes (the former offers sloppily fitted bikes and the latter will rip off the naïve student). The shop buys and does up old bikes so the place is great for a bargain. I bought a decent bike there for £70 (including a change of wheels — I prefer slimmer lighter ones for round town), and there were others for £45−50 too. Although Joseph J. has noted that you’ll often find a cheaper option second hand in local papers, the great thing about getting one here is that the experienced and passionate staff will make any adjustments for you after purchase, and also do good value repairs. I had a puncture fixed by a guy known as the Bike Doctor on the University of Sussex once and he reccomended that I go to G-​Whizz in the future — I haven’t gone anywhere else since and it’s by far the best place I’ve found price-​wise in Brighton (a George Street, Kemp Town bike shop will charge a whopping £10 for a puncture repair inc. inner tube).

«Gadzooks!»
“Gee!”
“Shucks”
“Gosh“
These are all outdated exclamations you’d expect to hear in films from Hollywood’s Studio Era. They’re so explicitly inoffensive it offends me!
«G-​Whizz» is such a name, but as a bike shop I think it sort of fits. Hidden away from one and all in one of the most quaint areas of Hove, this second-​hand bicycle shop and repairers is pretty good. In terms of repairs they are pretty much unbeatable and for average-​priced bikes (think £120-£200) you can get something that’s reliable and probably worth a lot more money. However, if you were looking for something cheaper (i.e. less than £100) I’d advise you look elsewhere. There are bikes for under £100 but they are overpriced and if you look in a free paper, you will find something much cheaper and with a price that actually relates to what you’re buying.

This is a great little bicycle (work)shop operating from a converted garage and hidden away down a quiet lane at the back of Brunswick Square. I took my bike there one Thursday morning at 10am with a flat tyre and by 10.30am had already received a text message on my mobile informing me the puncture had been fixed. Only open 3 days a week (Thu, Fri & Sat)
