Temple Cycles Opiniones 

I really wanted a steel adventure bike to take on bikepacking adventures and stumbled upon Temple Cycles. I immediately fell in love with the vintage look and the spec of the Adenture Disk 1.

It's about 500 miles in now and the bike rides incredibly well. It glides along on tarmac as you'd expect a steel bike to but its no slouch either. Before you know it you're cruising along comfortably at 20+mph

Then there is off road. The temple isn't my first gravel bike and I can say it handles everything I've thrown at it just as well if not better. The beautifully finished steel frame soaks up so much vibration and the 700c Hunt 4 season wheels perform admirably.

I did have some gear selection issues after about 5 days of using. Temple cycles looked at the issue in their standard 6 week free service slot, replaced some parts and even gave me a spare derailleur hanger for my adventures. Amazing service!!

Temple cycles have been top drawer and the Adventure Disk is just dreamy to ride. I can't wait for my first proper bike packing adventure on it next week!

Great help and advice from Alex prior to making additional purchases. Opted for a Bristol saddle and matching Brooks bar tape to add to my existing Temple Gravel Bike, Adventure Disc 3. Advice on tyres for my Temple bike also very helpful from Alex. The saddle and bar tape I purchased are excellent and very impressed with the saddle comfort. Excellent all round.

Had to write to say how amazing Temple's electric bikes are. We took delivery of a Classic and a Step Through a few weeks ago and are blown away by how good these bikes are. They look beautiful (several great comments received already) and work brilliantly. The country lanes and hills where we live are a breeze now and we find ourselves nipping out on the bikes rather than use the car. The good weather may have helped as well! If you are thinking of getting an E Bike then Temple should be on your radar. Alex in customer care has responded promptly to any queries we had in set up and running including fixing a couple of minor issues. Having visited the Temple Shop and Assembly Plant in Bristol I can see they have a fabulous set up and are passionate about their business. My only criticism (as also highlighted by another reviewer) and an area for improvement is that Temple need a better telephone system. It's a lottery getting through to someone.

Temple Cycles are a small independent business, clearly passionate about bikes and cycling. I have purchased an Adventure Disc 3, a beautiful bike and very smooth to ride. I am looking forward to some long cycle touring trips ahead. Matt and colleagues have really thought about the design and purpose, to make the bike not only good looking but suitable for long tours with reliability and ease of maintenance in mind. Alex is a great point of contact, friendly, enthusiastic and helpful. Communicating by phone was occasionally a bit frustrating, but Alex always responded promptly to my emails. The bike was ready for collection on the day promised and all the people I met at Temple were friendly and interested. I can fully recommend Temple Cycles as trustworthy, providing excellent bikes with friendly service.

I have the step through lightweight, not only is it beautiful to look at ( constantly receive compliments on what a great looking bike it is) It’s also a pure joy to ride as I cycle around London!
I would highly recommend to anyone interested in a temple cycle.

After some initial confusion, excellent communication led to the delivery of a very high-quality bike for my wife. The customer service from the team, in particular Alex, was exceptional. I would highly recommend to buy from Temple if you want a durable, high-quality product with great sales support. I also bought a set of Temple 25.4 compact dropbars for my own bike, which are better than anything else I have found out there in this size.

I love my bike, the design is beautiful - classic but not chintzy like retro women's bikes end up being.

The customer service was quick, helpful and polite.

Awesome customer service from Alex when ordering with special requests sorted and fast response. Can't wait to take delivery!

I'd been riding my old bike for years and finally decided to splash out on the advnture model ahead of this summer. Glad I did as it looks like the pictures: smooth gears, brakes responsive, looks good, low maintenance. Have just been using it for the commute so far, but have managed to work out how to strap my tent to the handlebars, so will be trying out that over the bank-holiday!

Delivery arrived on time, website clean and easy to use. Great quality product. Highly recommend.

Love my Temple, so much smoother to cycle than my alloy bike, the steel frame really smooths out all the bumps in the road. Great for off road gravel stuff too. And it looks great! Would definitely recommend!!

Got my single speed in early 2019 and was blown away by the lack of rattling and wobble that I assumed was just part of cycling before then!

I have since had 1:9 gears added by the Temple team for a reasonable fee (+very quick turn around) and cycled to France with panniers, camping along the way.

4 years in, it just gets more beautiful with each memory (scratch) I make, a frame for life, getting ever closer to my rattley old peugeot in style, but ever solid throughout.

Bought my bike after taking a long time researching different ones.

My Temple bike came when expected, and was really good quality, perfect condition. Really happy with my purchase! Really reliable company!!

Ordered a temple pannier bags for me and my girlfriend. Both fantastic quality, nice design, and look lovely. My one was bought in sale and so even cheaper. I've been cycling on a temple for years and the shop has always been great at helping me maintain it too.

Huge fan of Temple! I came across them on Instagram and was eyeing up their adventure disc model for about a year... Finally took the leap and I am so glad I did! Best bike I've ever owned. I get compliments every time I'm out for a ride, the machine is pure joy. 5/5 Temple, keep up the good work! Now to convince my wife to buy one...

I now have two Temple bikes having recently added the new eBike. Love them both, beautifully made and whilst I had an issue with the rear wheel a replacement was dispatched immediately and fitted by my local bike shop. Great bikes, great support. Thank you.

Fantastic service from start to finish.

I bought their classic lightweight a few months ago and it rides like a dream. You can tell all the parts are super high quality and the Brooke's saddle is wearing in nicely. I can't recommend highly enough!

I couldn’t be more impressed with Temple as a company. The bike is absolutely brilliant. Really good quality, perfect design and stunning details. I’ve been riding bikes for over 30 years and my temple actually tops them all! You get what you pay for, quality components and a very well put together and thought out bike. Delivery was fast, packaging was exceptional and it only took me 20 minutes to get the bike setup and ready to ride.

I bought a step through tourer. It's a lovely bike to ride and look at. But be warned if you have mud guards fitted it is impossible to remove the back wheel without detaching the mudguard and therefore also the panier rack. It's a fiddle and not something I want to have to do on the side of the road when I get a puncture.
I wrote to Temple Cycles as I feel they could warn people or change their design but they just said:" this is just a feature of the design which we can't change". I would have thought they designed their own bikes

A lovely bike let down by poor packaging. Quick service from Temple in putting the bike together and shipping. Received a week from ordering.

Bike arrived with the left hood punctured through the packaging and scuffed. Looks like package was trampled on during transit and several components were damaged: scuffed hoods; bent front disk brake disk; rear disk break calliper mis-aligned and started rubbing and ringing severely on my second ride 20km away from home; front derailleur misaligned and rubbing on top and bottom back gears when in the middle gear; wobble in rear wheel. I've had to invest in a number of tools and time to addressing all the above.

Bike received fitted with 40cm offroad tyres when bike spec advertises 32mm tyres. Temple's attitude was ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ claiming that all parts subject to change. I'm not sure why Temple lacks the skills to keep spec sheets updated on their website. I gave Temple the opportunity to supply the advertised tyres but was ghosted. I suspect they will not honour warranty claims going forward.

Speaking of spec sheets, no information is provided on all supplied parts. The £500 hybrid I bought from the LBS came with touch up paint, owners and service manual. The £1800 Adventure 3 only comes with a ten page assembly pamphlet which is very dated and bears no resemblance to the parts supplied and zero information of what parts were fitted to the bike.

Packaging is very poor and lacks internal padding which is disappointing considering the £50 packaging and delivery charge. Temple was ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ when I reported damages and requested videos of all damaged parts.

If you do wish to invest in this bike then my advice is DO NOT ORDER FOR DELIVERY unless you like playing the lottery. I'd order to pick up ONLY and part with cash only when you've had a chance to closely examine and test the built bike.

I was interested in getting Temple's E Bike for my wife but will not be investing in this company given my poor experience so far.
