Our service is professional while keeping our operations local, participative and community-oriented. We make sure that the bike chosen will fit your needs, and we will adapt it if necessary.
We are happy to offer you a guarantee on all our bikes. Whatever the glitch or problem you have, do not hesitate to get back in touch with us, and we will be pleased to find a solution. The warrantee is limited to the repair of the bicycle by the ReCycliste. We do not refund any kind of repair done elsewhere, unless previously authorized by the ReCycliste.
For winter bikes or buy in winter, there is no guarantee offered.
Prices are subject to change at anytime.
Our refurbishment is composed of a complete tune-up and a replacement of parts, and it includes:
It is therefore possible to offer a limited warranty on parts and labor against any manufacturing defect under normal use conditions.
With the purchase of a bicycle, we offer you a 20$ discount on the subscription to one of the DIY community workshop in the Montreal area. There you can do your bike maintenance in a well-equipped bikeshop with mechanics/volunteers who know a lot. How to get my discount?
Buy two bikes and get 5% discount, buy three bikes and get 10% discount, buy four or more bikes and get 15% discount.
We have several pictures of frames and bikes to custom-built. The are lots of custom-built bikes because we simply did not have time to refurbish them yet.
Because the bike wasn't refurbished, this is the right time to get it personnalized to your individual specifications at minimal cost.
Mockup validation:
Halfway during assembly, we send you photos of the bike, the list of installed components and the adjusted price.
It's a good time for you to make last minute changes before the final assembly.
As soon as we receive your approval of the mockup, we finalize cabling, adjustments and road test the bike.
Win/win formula:
On your part, no commitment, no deposit, cancellation at any time and no obligation to buy the bike once tried.
On our part, no guarantee on the delivery date, no guarantee on the price of the finished product because it is linked to the final parts installed.
The estimator is handy for estimating a custom-built bike. It also serves as the assembly voucher and the final delivery voucher. Start by choosing component options and customize more details based on your cycling knowledge or give us a call.
Payment for your bike is only made when you come try the bike out and you accept it. You can always reserve the bike by making a full non-refundable payment at order time.
If you have a bike or parts to give, do not hesitate to contact us!
We offer 5% to 15% off for the purchase of a bike on our website. The discount depends on the condition of the bike you donate. Bicycles or accessories left in exchange cannot be returned or redeemed under any circumstances.
We also offer a formula for those bikeshops that have too many bikes or parts.
We offer free pick-up in the Montreal area. In return, ReCycliste offers all of its customers a refund on the purchase of an annual membership card in your community bikeshop.

Although the vast majority of our bikes are initially used and in bad condition, they all leave, without exception, our workshop in A1 mechanical condition. Everything is well-adjusted, oiled and greased as needed.
If it is impossible to reuse the frame, we will strip off it's components. If it is impossible to reuse the components, we will strip off it's parts
Everything that is functional is cleaned, repaired, tolerance measured and well organised in the inventory.
Bicycles, frames, non-repairable and surplus parts are in turn shipped to other eco-friendly organizations such as: Cycle Nord-Sud, SOS Vélo and community bike shops who can, in turn, reuse them.
Yes, we build winter bikes. Adapted for the Montreal winters with all of it's slush. Usually build with left over parts, that will need little maintenance during the winter. Please consult and familiarize yourself by reading adapt your bike for winter before contacting us.
