They list a part I need at the best price with free postage.  Not come across them before so checking with the STW hive mind if it’s legit.

The last street view I can see is from 2019, and they appear to have been founded in 2025 - based on the copyright notice on their website.

The address they give is an industrial unit in Biggin Hill, previously or currently identified as bike parts.co.uk

So it might be a legit rebranding of bikeparts?

Or someone using their address

To be honest I would steer clear of a site that doesn't provide a phone number and doesn't seem to refer to a ltd company in any of it's t&C's or privacy policy.

I wouldnt touch that with someone elses bargepole.

FAQs read

Where is Cycleranch located?

:Our Cycleranch warehouse is based in the South East of the UK, near London.

When was Cycleranch founded?

:The Cycleranch was recently founded using 30 years of knowledge and expertise gained from running local bike shops and successful online bicycle stores in the UK!

Then despite the domain being old last updated towards end of last year and is private?

There is a chance its genuine but operated by someone who doesnt quite understand the modern world and hence why you would need to offer something slightly more clear to prospective buyers but I would be letting others test it first.

New company based on 30 years experience. So maybe some one who use to work for wooly hat?

I’m leaving it for the moment

Although you can pay with paypal. I think that reduces the risk?

Or even better, pay by credit card and get chargeback protection?

Isn’t that the wording from bike parts’ site?

I think bike parts online grew out of the shop Big in Bikes, that was in Biggin Hill high st. I used the shop a lot when I worked at the airport with no hassle.

Cycle ranch seems iffy.
