Evans have been nothing short of great for me. Don't let it put you off - their customer service is 2nd to none.
Unfortunately I cant agree about service.
Ordered my bike on line and picked it up yesterday from the shop.
Got it home and found all the manuals were not in the owners pack and no tools. Contacted customer services who said ask the shop.
After much huffing and asking why I wanted the manuals for the gears, the shop agreed to send the manuals out in the post but said you only get tools if you get the bike delivered to the house as they build and set them up for store collection. Pointed out they advertise the delivered bikes as built and set up, all you need to do is attach the pedals and straighten the bars but that cut no ice.
Oh well their loss not mine, I'm happy with the bike but any tools, spares or repairs will be sourced else where. I guess it's like any chain depends who you get, sometimes you win sometimes you dont
