Verified41 reviews
I love it, but it does have some faults – I got the petite version as Im 5’0” but its still too high for me as I am at the very bottom end of the height scale for this. My issues with this bike are the rough and clicky gears from the onset (apparently need to be tuned often) and how unsteady it is with any weight in the basket. I put a child seat on the back and it wants to fall over constantly, and has done a few times with said child in the seat. Show details
Ongoing issues – Bought the baby pink version of this bike 10 months ago. It was already assembled by the store as that is their policy. The issues started after a couple of months with the gears not changing as I was clicking through. I would have to go up or down a couple of gears to come back to the one I was after. Then the chain started falling off the front… Read more
cog when changing gear. I took it back to the store and they gave it a gear tune and said it would be fine. I had it back to the store 3 more times for the chain falling off every few weeks. They ended up replacing the chain for me. A couple of weeks later it starting making an alarming clunk through the pedals on every rotation. It sounded and felt like something was going to break. So back we went to the store. I’d lost track of the amount of the times I’d taken it back so 8 weeks ago they replaced it with a new magenta version of the bike. I’ve just had it back at the store again with the chain having fallen off mid-gear change. They have once again ‘fixed’ it but I no longer trust this bike and will be selling it and purchasing a different bike elsewhere. Gorgeous bike but just not reliable

❤️ VINTAGE LADIES CLASSIC PLUS ❤️ – I purchased the charcoal size L bike & i am 164cm tall, the charcoal helmet to match & a combination bike lock all from Reid Cycles. Delivery was within 2 days. Assembly was easy & I had no trouble putting the bike together without help. I love my new bike & purchased the baskets elsewhere. I’ve ridden this down my local streets & have got… Read more · 1
compliments & neighbours asking where did I buy the bike from. I look forward to my spring/summer rides & also to get fit along my journey. Looks like my car will be used less this summer. Thank you for an awesome looking bike.
Beautiful and graceful bike! Ride in style! – I bought this bike partly because she had the right mix of features and price, but more than that: because she was the most gorgeous bike I could find at any price! Since buying her 16 months ago, we've covered 5,000km, including 100km on the 2015 Brisbane-to-Gold-Coast ride. (And I plan to ride her again in this year's event). With her… Read more · 3
bright, cheerful, red paintwork and classic good looks, she gets lots of nice comments. Once, when returning to where I'd left her tied up in a park, I found a photographer taking pictures of her. A friend also borrowed her as a prop in her wedding photos! I particularly enjoy riding her in "Style over Speed" events, where she completely looks the part among genuine vintage, classic bikes.
To ride, this bike is stable, tame, and very comfortable, and a perfect mount for even a very inexperienced rider like I was when I started. The combination of her weight and gears did make Brisbane hills a challenge at first, but a few weeks of commuting got me past that. When getting started, it's no crime to get off and push for a bit anyway.
The only reason this isn't a 5-star review is that the quality of some of the components is very poor. A few other reviews here have already called attention to the chainguard, which is extremely flimsy and will be bent out of shape in no time. Fortunately, it's just as easily bent back into (something like) shape -- but if you look at the chainguards of any of these bikes you see on the street, they're almost all warped and bent, so it's a common flaw. I've also had to replace the saddle, grips, and a rear wheel whose spokes broke. That probably sounds like a lot, but I bet many of these bikes never travel the kind of distances we've travelled: it's the equivalent of many years of casual, weekend riding.
In short -- a beautiful bike at a great price! Highly recommended!
It's Good but can be Excellent! – I received by bike today. I love my watermelon color bike. That's exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for the delivery, the parts are in good condition but fixing my bike seems to be a nightmare. I only wish if they sent a person to assemble the bike. After reading the manual I started to panic if I am fixing it the right way. Due to safety… Read more
reasons it's always good to have a professional doing this job. Now I need to take it back to the store to get it fixed. It's a double work. Thats the only drawback. Otherwise, I'm a big fan of this vintage bike!
Negative reviews
Looks nice but have had 5 punctures within 2 weeks – I love the look of this bike but I’ve continuously had punctures in both tyres when riding on smooth surfaces and it feels super clunky, I’m disappointed in this bike as I was so excited for it. Show details
Esprit Superlite. Good but not worth the extra $100 – Product: Reide Esprit SuperLite. Packaging: It seemed OK. no visible dents, so good courier. Weight: with Basket= 13.65 KG (Advertised as 11.9 KG without basket <no way basket ways 1.75 KG> ) Assembly: Fairly easy (no cable cutting required), just screwing in bits. I had to bend the basket in order to get it on which felt a little dodgy. The… Read more
hardest thing to install was the mud guards which took a little fiddling. Adjusting the gears also took some time to get perfect but no more than 5-10 mins. Overall i think i spent under 2 hours putting it together.
No Quick Release Components: Annoyingly the bike doesn't come with any quick release wheels or seat (which may be the classic look, but it is not practical in anyway).
Bike Quality: The back wheel was slightly warped so I wasn't impressed with that (something you expect from a Kmart bike). Paint Job also seems to scratch easily (overall compared to my previous experience buying a HASA Bike, I think Reid bike quality is not quite as good as the HASA).
Ride: Its actually a really smooth ride. Gearing works well. Bike behaves well.
Overall: I purchased the "Esprit Superlite" a couple of months ago. Bike is smooth and works well. It was fairly easy to put together and adjust the gearing. looking at the specs however I don't think there is a difference between the "Ladies Esprit" and the "Esprit Superlite" so I would recommend the "Ladies Esprit" if you are looking to purchase a new vintage bike.
The wheel having a slight warp was really annoying (I have purchased my previous bike from cycles online for less money and it came with quick release components and both wheels were perfect).
However my biggest gripe is that it is advertised at 11.9 KG (ex basket) when it's actually no lighter than the "Ladies Esprit" at 12.7 KG (ex basket)
Nice style but built out of the wrong materials – Oh the irony, if you see an actual vintage bicycle around you know it lasted because of a quality build, most of these vintage styled Reid bikes will probably be in the landfill within a decade of their life. My bikes tyres, rims and pedals all broke within the first two years use ( pretty minimal use too). All the exposed chrome was rusting… Read more
within six months and it was stored in a weather proof bike shed, the arms to the mudguards were the worst, the outer chrome coloured coating fully flaking away from the bristling rust. I see these bikes around town occasionally and they are all rusting.
The front basket with the removable inner basket is one of the better design features and very practical.

Pretty bike for very casual riding only – I purchased one of these bikes (in pink) 2 years ago. At the time of purchase, I wasn't certain how often I would ride it and I admittedly bought it due to a combination of price and looks. I ended up commuting on it quite regularly up to 4 times a week. After riding this bike more regularly, it become clear it was fairly cheaply made and… Read more
wasn't quite going to cut it for a long term bike. I have since upgraded to a Lekker Jordaan and it just feels so much nicer to ride and has much higher quality components.
This bike in summary is good for a casual rider, who intends to ride a short distance maybe once a month and isn't concerned about the longevity of the bike.
Positives: Looks pretty and comes in a wide range of colours Basket (although not a standard option) is an okay size, and is handy for carrying things. 7 speed gears helps maintain a good pedalling speed and get up hills Comfortable seat
Negatives: Tyres are too skinny to be practical, makes for a bumpy ride and and I had two flats - not fun! Rusts easily - even though my bike was kept garaged and rarely got wet Noisy, made odd squeaky sounds and just not a smooth ride It's a fairly heavy bike - fine for most but something to consider if you intend to go fast
Drives me up the Wall – I adore this bike - I have for four years. However, I have been dealing with the front mudflap coming loose for a large majority of this time. Between my bike mechanic and I, we have tried everything to keep it in place and I cannot find the black plastic "hole thingy" that the metal prongs insert into anywhere. It so embarrassing and… Read more
incredibly annoying to be stopping cycling every time I go over a bump to put it back into the hole - because if you don't it clangs SO loudly. I'm at the point where I want to chuck it over a bridge - but unfortunately, I need it to get to work.
I am writing this review because I have seen on the other complaints that Reid cycles appear to have helped the situations people are having with this bike. So if you are reading this Reid Cycles - Please help me by telling me where I can buy the black plastic "hole thing" that the metal prongs insert into... before Sydney Harbour acquires a new bike.

A woman at the end of her patience.
You get what you pay for – I bought this bike in white, from the Reid store on Victoria St, Melbourne (4 years ago). It looked very nice and the price, $300 was very appealing to a poor uni student with no car (probably the main demographic of Reid) It rusted after 2 weeks, even though I kept it inside at night. The fragile wheels could not handle cobble stone or bumps in… Read more
the road and buckled. I got puncture too easily. The wheel started making a very embarrassing "clunk" (busted ball bearing in wheel?). I rang the store and to their credit they said bring it in and they would fix it, but without a car it was quite inconvenient to get the bike into the city so I just let it sit in my spare room and eventually sold it for $25. If I had invested $600 on a decent bike with good quality parts, instead of the poor quality bike, I would still have a decent bike today. These bikes are expendable and not built to last.
So freaking awesome :-) – My partner bought me this in blue for my birthday. It is awesome! The only negative is the chain guard is a little flimsy, but it's easy to correct and one of the keys for my included bike-lock doesn't fit lol...so hopefully i never lose the 1 key! Recommend!!! I have the small model, I'm 158cm and this fits just right if I set the seat on the lowest safest point. Shipping was excellent and all parts in perfect condition.
Decent bike for the price – A great looking bike that does the job. It is however quite heavy and the self assembly may turn people off of it. I put together my ex girlfriends and it took a little while to get everything right. With that in mind it runs fine and is pretty comfortable to ride. The basket is a nice addition and besides making it look more vintage it is… Read more
actually practical. You can put groceries in here for small shops so that you don't need to take the car. It's definitely a more casual bike and those looking for performance should definitely look elsewhere.

Love the look, but needs some improvements – I have had my watermelon vintage bike for nearly 2 years now. I like how comfortable it is to ride and the look of the bike. However, the stand needs to be stronger to hold the weight of the bike (especially with the front basket on - it always falls over). Also, when I push the gear lever up into top gear the chain can fall off and jam. I just… Read more
avoid top gear, just incase. Finally, the mud guards, chain guard and basket attachment are all very flimsy and make an awful clanging noise when on uneven roads. If these things could be improved it would be a top bike.
Love my bike! – I won the vintage classic 7-speed through a Reid giveaway and love my bike! I have had no troubles with it - and was probably going to buy one anyway. The staff at the Melbourne store were AMAZING - super friendly and totally excited for me. Great bike, great service!
Girlfriends loves it more than she loves me! – I recently purchased one of those vintage bikes for my girlfriend which came with a cane basket add on. Best birthday present i think I have ever gotten her, she literally rides everywhere now. She even brings it into our room at night (says its for security but I know she just likes looking at it when she wakes up!) Anyway, thanks to the guys at the Melbourne shop for getting it sorted for me...going to be hard to top her birthday next year!
Really sick of trying to love this piece of junk!!!!!!! – This bike is awful. I was given this bike for xmas 2013. After a week the paint job began bubbling and the top coat began to peel off. I returned it to the store and they offered me a replacement. I upgraded there and then to the new lighter model and paid the difference as the bike is heavy. Since that date. ~My brakes have stopped working 3… Read more
times!!
~My gears have stopped working twice.
~The cover for the chain has been completely bent by my shoe.
~If I lean the bike on anything (a pole or a bike parking spot) when I get back on the bike the mudguards are bent and rub off the wheels.
~The gears became unattached last week.
~A decent local bike store reattached them free of charge and I booked in my service to Reids.
~Today they snapped completely and became wrapped in the chain. (cant even get the bike to Reids now)
~This bike is a piece of rubbish and women lap it up because its pretty!!!
~I paid $400, not a massive amount but enough for a bike to be usable for 12 months surely!!!!

value for money – I love my Reid vintage bike, I think it was worth the money. Pretty cheap quality on some parts ( basket bracket and bolts don't line up properly, bolts don't secure well, handlebars fell out once, chain guard very bendable) but overall, good for what they cost. And gorgeous to look at :) colour range, style, affordability cheap quality on some parts. Show reply
Handle bars fell off – My partner purchased a 6-speed vintage ladies bike from the Perth store on Erindale road. We got it home and next day she took it out for a ride along the river. On her way home the handle bars worked loose and came out while she was riding, she came off the bike as a result from this and ended up with a few bumps and bruises and had to walk the… Read more
bike home. She called the shop and they replace the bike and told us the one we first picked up had not been safety checked as it didn't have a blue dot on the handle bars, they also said this happens quite often. So if you are thinking of buying a shop built one check for a blue dot sticker on the handle bars. good price came apart while riding
Arrived with damaged pieces and was nor simple to assemble dont buy – I ordered a vintage bike came with broken and bent pieces, the video made it look simple which was not the case, no video of how to assemble bike basket, told them what happend they said to. Send it back and get new parts,they want me to pay and send back a part so I can get another damaged part. Very dissapointed never again, I'm going to sell it… Read more

what to expect when you pay a low-mid range price – I have just read the reviews and must say that i was very surprised to read so many negative reviews. i have done all my research on vintage bikes and to get a bike with no complaints you would need to pay more for a reid bike. reid vintage bikes are not made of aluminium - of course not! there only 300$ - so yes there not the lightest bikes - yes… Read more · 1
most of sydney is on the ocean - so yes it will rust - look at all the buildings, they have concrete cancer - so buying a cheap bike will not not rust - do your research on the material of a bike - therefore no surprises! also you can get it delivered so please don't complain about driving far and being disappointed that you have to wait to get all your parts! - really sounds like first world problems having to wait to get a bike for more then a week or two!
i have bought my bike a year ago - it's so much fun - lot's of colours available - i ride from bondi to the city for work - never had an issue - yes you have to service your bike - but you also do that with your car! if you want a bike with better quality - sorry to be telling you the truth of having to spend a bit more - probably north of 600 bucks!
love my bike! Great price - good service - short lead time - fun bike - show stopper and reliable Heavy and light rust
Reid Cycles Ladies Vintage Bike – I bought a watermelon coloured 6-speed vintage ladies bike earlier this year and it is an excellent bike. Very fun and easy to ride and I always get comments from passers by say what a nice bike it is. The colour is nice and bright so it's easy to pick out. I was also very impressed with how long it took to arrive, I ordered it on a Tuesday and it… Read more
arrived on the Thursday. I ride it to uni every day. Since buying it, some of my friends have also bought one. They are a very reasonable price so I definitely recommend buying one.

Gorgeous bike... disappointing quality and even worse service – I purchased my bike in mid April, paid the week before, and then drove the 200km round trip to pick up the bike as when I initially paid, there were no baskets available, so I was told to come back the following week as an order had been placed that day for more baskets and they would arrive on Monday. I gave it a week and a half and called ahead… Read more
to advise I would be picking up my bike. At that time, it would have been nice to know that I wouldn't be receiving everything I had ordered to save a round trip of 200kms!!!
I collected the bike, and was told that again... there were no baskets... and no bike pump. Again, I was advised an order was placed that very day, and that they would be in on Monday and I should expect my delivery at the very latest, to be the 24th of April. Nothing! I allowed a few weeks just to be polite, then I called the store in late May to ask where the basket and pump were. The guy said that they had placed an order "that day", and they would be in on Monday then posted to me, and should arrive by Wednesday at the latest. I suggested to the guy that he might want to give a courtesy call if this wasn't possible as I had been waiting 7 weeks since I paid for the basket and it still hadn't arrived. This was an attempt to encourage some customer service which seems to be severely lacking. He agreed to this and said he would make a note to call me if it wouldn't be sent. It is now the 20th of June and I have still heard nothing, and still have no basket or bike pump. I am so disappointed and the whole experience has left me really frustrated. I should not have to chase a shop for an item I have paid for already, and be lied to about when an item will arrive. I wonder which MONDAY the baskets will FINALLY arrive?!
It would be better for the staff to be up front and honest before people put their hand in their pocket if there has been a hold up rather than lie. The colour choices Rear brake cable frayed on first ride. Dishonest staff and awful customer service.

Rusted within 6 months, brakes don't work, takes forever to get things sorted – I got the Reid Vintage Ladies Single Speed bike for Christmas 2012. Firstly, I was told over the phone that the small bike size wasn't in stock, but that the large would fit my 164cm frame fine. I cannot mount the bike without a struggle and can't stand, so have to dismount whenever I stop, I was disappointed with the advice. I had ridden the bike… Read more
maybe three times when the brakes started to stiffen up, they were extremely hard to push in and were not stopping me at all. My boyfriend loosened the brakes and sprayed WD-40 on the handle bars, brakes worked ok for a few more rids and are back to not working again. I stopped riding the bike out of frustration within a week and forgot about it. The bike was sitting in my shed, in a non-coastal town, by the time I remembered I had a Reid bike - it was 6 months later, I pulled it out and it had spotted rust on almost every surface. I was really disappointed.
I tried to ride the bike again and got half way to the store and heard a grinding sound, the chain then came apart and I crashed on the pavement. After walking the bike home, no brakes, no chain, I finally put a warranty claim in to Reid.
I put the claim in on the 9/6, received an email straight after saying that I should wait two business days. On the 17th of June I had not heard back at all, so emailed, called and wrote on their Facebook page.
I got an email back straight away saying they'd send a new chain, but with no mention of the brakes.
Today is the 20/6 - No chain, no further correspondence. Looks good. Rusted quickly, brakes are faulty, chain snapped
bad quality control sub-standard – After calling the Sydney store twice to make sure my wife's bike was ready and explaining I was travelling 100km's to pick the bike up. The bike was not safely inspected. After wheeling the bike out the front door to put it on my bike rack I noticed two flaws - Major concern was front tire not properly seated into rim-very dangerous and the back… Read more

Pretty to look at, but not for life – I had been looking for a vintage-style bike for ages, and was pleased to discover Reid's new coloured-range of vintage-style affordable bikes were to be released last Christmas. My mint bike is beautiful, and receives lots of compliments. However, the quality is not phenomenal. I ride my bike about 50km per week, and although it usually… Read more
holds up, I have had some issues already with the quality. It is a very fragile bike. The other day my loving husband accidentally knocked me off the bike, and for a small fall, the metal on the front wheel had completely bent out of shape. The metal is very thin, delicate, and scratches easily. The back wheel tube lasted me less than one month. The brake pads are very fine. The white seat stains very easily and even with bleach does not clean well - I would recommend upgrading to the tan seat.
To be honest I think I will need to buy a new bike within the next two years as I have already had a few issues with this one. Appearance Fragile
Loving my 6-speed retro ladies bike! – I picked up a 6-speed reid retro ladies bike on the opening day of their Perth store and have been riding to and from the train station every day since. Have had no issues at all except the kick stand is a little loose, which I have tightened up by hand until I go back for the first service. There are two other Reid retro bikes in the cage I lock… Read more

We'll be heading back in soon to get my boyfriend a City2 Hybrid so we can ride together. Great starter bike. Smooth ride. Love the colour range! Nice staff in Perth shop.
Great Choice, Great Value! – I was looking for a birthday present for my fiance and came across the Reid Vintage range. She loved them instantly. We went to the Sydney store on Parramatta Road.

Can't Be More Disappointing – Bought two from their shop recently for riding to work with my partner considering that it's fairly cheap and new. Within 4 weeks, both of our bikes have broken tyres more than three times, both seats went broken (mine just dropped down even im very light, fixed it in their shop n no help) and gears started making funny noise. Also the Bike is… Read more
ridiculously heavy and built by very bad metal. My bike stand and the metal which cover the chain just came off easily. Remember to bring a toolbox if you bought one or Simply Don't Buy It.

Blue Vintage Road Bike – When I was purchasing the bike Reid Cycles staff couldn't be more helpful. The young guy with the tats and stretchers was awesome. However, since I've had the bike I have had numerous issues. First the break was loose and rattling, and the gears crunched when I changed them, and eventually the lowest gears didn't work at all and the lever wouldn't… Read more
even click into them. I took it in to be serviced at Enmore Road store, they fixed the break and re-aligned the gears while I waited. Great, quick service.
A month or so later the gears had the same problem again, the chain guard got caught in the chain while riding and ripped off, and the bell fell off. I took the bike to the new Parramatta Road store, I was told it would be ready on Sunday to pick up, and that someone would call me before then.
No one called me, at 4:00pm Sunday I called Reid to be told they were closed, the bike wasn't fixed, and they would do it Monday morning first thing. This was very inconvevnient as I work full time and Reid closes at 5, it looked like I wasn't going to get my bike back for a week. I asked if I could pick it up after 5 as I worked full time, they said yes and asked me to call back on Monday to confirm.
Monday lunch time I called, a man answered, I explained the situation, he said in monotone 'your bike is not done, we will call you when your bike is ready' I explained the situation, he just repeated himself. I asked to speak to the manager 'no one is available, all I can offer is to call you back'. Given their history with call backs, I refused this offer and said I would call back in 10 minutes. After calling 5 times, finally someone answered. This guy said the bike was not fixed. I explained how I'd been told first Sunday, then Monday, and now I wanted my bike fixed today. He was apologetic and said he would personally wait back after closing so I could pick up the bike that day.
I picked up the bike and took it home. The chain guard had been hasitly hammered flat and reattached, dirty and deformed. The gears were exactly the same, and now the brakes were stiff and unyielding. I crashed on the way home into the back of a car because the brakes failed. Minutes after a service.
I ride my bike everyday, it is my only way of getting to work. I took time to get it serviced, and they made it worse, did not call me, and generally had bad customer service. The last guy I spoke to was really good though, it was really helpful of him to offer to stay back so I could pick up the bike. I think he was the manager.
Reid bikes, cheap bikes and awful servicing. I have been recommending Reid to everyone, even people who compliment my bike on the street, but I won't be any longer due to this awful service, and the bad customer service. Pretty bike, cheap, with good freebies and warranty. Service, bad bike servicing.

Alright but poor service – Tyres are too narrow so the ride feels bumpy. Looks good and super cute. Service was fine at first. But when I went to pick it up I first noticed they gave me the wrong color basket. Because I 'complained' they didn't offer to give the complimentary gifts, I had to ask for it. Did not mind waiting for them to change the basket. Half way… Read more
through changing the basket I noticed that they gave me the wrong red color bike (fluoro red is hideous). I could tell the mechanic was kinda annoyed at me but he should have really read the receipt properly so he didn't have to go through the ordeal. Lastly they didn't even help me put the bike into my car. I had bought 2 bikes...I could managed it quite well but it would have been nice to have received some customer service, after all they were the ones who made a mistake.
I would have recommended REID CYCLES to family and friends, but now I would not because I don't want them to receive bad service. Affordable, good looking, color selection Service, Tyres are bad

Gold stars for customer service – I recently bought a Vintage Ladies Bike from Reid and because I'm based in Perth, it has to be shipped over to me; partially assembled. Unfortunately, I have no idea how to assemble a bicycle myself and neither does most of my friends! I emailed them asking for assembling instructions because the stores were going to charge me $200! They sent it… Read more · 1
to me along with some advise and put me in contact with a Perth-based guy that could assemble my bicycle for me at a cheaper rate.
Naturally, I tried assembling it myself (I got too excited!) and hit a bump when I was trying to put the pedals on. I then called the Melbourne store, THEY ARE SO HELPFUL! He explained to me what I'm meant to do and everything, through the phone. Pat yourself on the back for having the patience to explain it to me!
I'm really happy with your customer service! Not only did you reply to my emails promptly, you are also willing to help out with every single problem that I faced while trying to get my bicycle together. Not many stores these days with online services even bother checking-up with their customers anymore. I'm glad you do!
Kudos! Affordable and the colour
Very happy customer! – Just wanted to say thanks so much for a great transaction! I picked up the bike from the Brisbane store on Saturday. The guys were so lovely and when the bike didn't fit in my car they were nice enough to take a part of it off and try and help me get it in. Great service and have already reccomended Reid Cycles to 3 people. Thanks :) Great price, good product!
Love it! – I love Reid's Ladies Vintage bikes. They are so cute! I bought a gorgeous pink bike with a basket and I just love it. I've been riding it too and from work and it's easy to ride, it's comfortable and it looks good too. I would recommend these bicycles- they are really affordable and I love mine!
