A great bike

I've just become the proud owner of a bright yellow Abington. I wanted a very high quality British manufactured bike at a reasonable price. Many manufacturers exploit their UK heritage but then you find the frame and wheels are made in the far east - not ARCC who make the wheels in house as well as the Reynolds steel frame. The bike is really smooth to ride a benefit of the frame and carbon belt drive and although no lightweight it's nimble enough for me to enjoy the Box Hill route near my home. The quality is excellent and I enjoyed the acquisition process incuding a test drive in Cambridge - all the staff are friendly and knowledgable...

Customer Review

I bought the ARCC Abington after a lengthy search for a quality UK bike that utilised the Gates Carbon Belt Drive. The team at ARCC were super helpful in helping with my initial questions then ensuring that the bike was configured with the right options for my needs - city riding in Brighton and longer rides along the coast and across the South Downs.
I opted for the Rohloff Speedhub which has been terrific in combination with the carbon belt drive - smooth, wide range and completely low maintenance. The Abington steel frame is beautiful and unique.
The other components and accessories were thoughtfully chosen and work together brilliantly. The ARCC team were around to answer questions when the bike arrived on time expertly built and only too happy to help whenever I’ve wanted to check anything, however minor.
I couldn’t be happier with the overall experience and would recommend ARCC wholeheartedly to anyone looking for a high quality UK bike of this type.
